Over the summer, try and have a decent rest, if you can. Use this time to switch off and relax, mentally and physically. Pre-season training does not start until August so it is advised to rest beforehand.

Try to consume 1g of protein per kg of bodyweight a day. Keep hydrated by drinking two to three litres of water every day.

Best form of recovery is sleep! Make sure you are getting at least eight hours a night. Make sure you use whatever recovery techniques work for you!

Why Complete the programme?

In the summer when competition is light, it is the perfect time to work on elements of your physical training which is too taxing during the season. For example, increasing muscle mass.

Conducting this training during the off-season and not ceasing exercise entirely, will aid your robustness. This in turn limits the risk of injury when returning to sport.

Keeping your aerobic fitness ‘topped up’ allows you to hit the ground running when returning to sport. It won’t take you as long to return to ‘match fitness’.
