Soccer sprint routine+weightlifting.....overtraining legs?

[JohnnyThrice]

Alright, I'm doing the following exercises with this routine (3 working sets for 6 reps each) I leave a day or two rest in between workouts:

WORKOUT 1

Back Squats
Dumbbell Bench Press
Barbell Rows
Dumbbell Curls
Grip or Ab Exercise

WORKOUT 2

Push Press
Power Cleans
Weighted Dips
Wide Grip Chins
Grip or Ab Exercise

Now here's my question: Soccer season is starting and I picked up this soccer training routine. My goal is to build up some speed/endurance/strength (if that is even possible at the same time). I want to do this weightlifting routine with the soccer routine but would this be counterproductive for my legs? Here's the soccer routine:

General Warm-up

1/2 to 1 mile jog

Full Body Stretch

Warm-up Speed Drills

High Knees (3X30m)

Heel-Glutes (3X30m)

Carriocca (3X30m)

1/2 Speed Striders (3X30m)



Week 1

Monday and Friday (sprint speed)

3X30m (45 second rest between reps)

3X60m (45 second rest between reps)

3X90m (45 second rest between reps)



Wednesday (speed-endurance)

Use a 3:1 Rest Ratio (ex. if it takes 30seconds to run 150m, then rest for 1:30 before the 200m)

50m-100m-150m-200m-150m-100m-50m

Repeat the pyramid one more time



Week 2

Monday and Friday

5X30m (45 second rest between reps)

5X60m (45 second rest between reps)

5X90m (45 second rest between reps)



Wednesday (speed-endurance)

Use a 2:1 Rest Ratio (ex. if it takes 30seconds to run 150m, then rest for 1:00 before the 200m)

50m-100m-150m-200m-150m-100m-50m

Repeat the pyramid two more times



Week 3

Monday and Friday

6X30m (30 second rest between reps)

6X60m (30 second rest between reps)

6X90m (30 second rest between reps)



Wednesday (speed-endurance)

Use a 2:1 Rest Ratio (ex. if it takes 30seconds to run 150m, then rest for 1:00 before the 200m)

50m-100m-150m-200m-250m-200m-150m-100m-50m

Repeat the pyramid two more times

I would limit to just 2 days of the weight workouts, like tuesday and sat and then you have thurs and sun off completely for rest. The running workout is good as it more appropriately reflects the energy system demands of the sport then the miles and miles of running that many soccer coaches advocate. Depending on your position I might even shorten up the length of the intervals.

Thanks man. Yeah, I could use the extra days rest, my legs are sore almost everyday!
