Looking for general guidelines on creating a hockey training plan that covers both preseason preparation and maintaining fitness throughout the regular season. What principles do you consider most effective for balancing strength and cardio workloads? How often should game scenarios and recovery sessions be included? Please share your experience with load planning, periodization, and intensity control. What metrics do you use to track progress? Would appreciate any practical advice. 💬

I'm doing three blocks: pre-season — 3-4 strength sessions per week with explosive exercises + 2-3 interval cardio sessions, in-season — 2 strength + 3-4 skill sessions, recovering 1-2 days with light cross-training and stretching; tracking progress via acceleration speed, jump height, and HRV.
