Summer Training Plan
My coach in high school was primarily the soccer coach. If you played soccer in the spring you ran cross country in the fall. We never had established practices over the summer but instead he handed us a training plan and it was up to us to either follow it or fall behind. This is that training plan.
I know it may be hard to read but it's 16 years old and I found it when I moved houses this winter. I'm sure most coaches are critiquing this which is fine. It's not perfect and it likely won't work for everyone but the intent of sharing this isn't for the coaches that care, it's for the athletes who have coaches that don't. Now, I'm not going guarantee results from if you follow it perfectly and don't bring this to your coach and say "MileSplit said do this." All I can say is we experienced success with it.

Not bad for a soccer team.
Good Luck this summer whether you're training alone or with a team. Can't wait to see you in the fall.
