Conditioning

[Scandiumair2120]

Ok so here's the low down. I have like 3 days to get a little more conditioned for hockey. I'm already in good shape I just need to have a bit more stamina. I need to do sprints because hockey is sprinting for 45 seconds then getting off and recovering. What I've been doing for the past 2 weeks is this.

1: Run 2 laps around my school's field house. (About 1/6 of a mile)
2. Stretch
3. 5 suicides (Basketball court lengths)
4. 1 minute rest
5. Run 2 more laps
6. (Go up to the school gym)
7. Bike 2 miles
8. Squats/squat press (90-150 lbs)
9. "Sprint" on the bike (bike as fast as I can for 45-50 seconds then cool down bike for 30 seconds, then starts again)
10. 5-8 sprints in HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)

This should make me a bit more conditioned right?

3 days isn't going to do anything. If you try to cram a bunch of extra work in that you're not used to in the next 3 days chances are you'll just burn your CNS out and come in slower/sluggish compared to what you were. If you wanted to be faster you should of been preparing about 8 weeks ago. That's just the flat out truth....

Now all the other people will come and give advice about how you could possibly get faster and what worked for them and their entire life story.

I'm not trying to get "faster" I meant more conditioned. While sprinting I should get a bit more conditioned. I have been training for the fall season, I'm just trying to ramp up my conditioning training for the last 3 days.

Just wanted you to know that you are unlikely to become more "conditioned" in 3 days. Endurance is built up over time. If you plan on continuing this regiment for some time you might see some improvement. I'd drop the biking all together though. There isn't a whole lot of cross-over between biking and running, they are two different biomechanical motions.

I have been running more of a long distance 2 miles and I started running sprints abut 3 weeks ago. I just decided to really step up my recovery training.
