Shuttles runs are one of the most commonly used methods of speed training in soccer.
From the starting line, players alternate sprinting back and forth to designated markers placed at a distance
of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 yards.
Sample work and rest ratio:
1:1 (2 players) run 1 set, rest 1 set.
1:2 (3 players) run 1 set, rest 2 set.
1:3 (4 players) run 1 set, rest 3 set.
One complete set of sprints equals 150 yards.
Average time to sprint should be 35 seconds.
Variations:
Go long to short.
Do it with a ball.
