Hi, I have just started the soccer season and after a long summer of doing high weights on legs I feel the lactic acid kicking in when sprinting, anyone have any advice on improving my fitness so that lactic acid takes longer to kick in, i can run for hours at a slow pace, but it is the sprints that kill me, my speed is good, but i just need a little bit of help.... any good links, articles or advice from anyone?

Do intervals or sprint repeats. Tabata intervals are wonderfull, do them with: running, bodyweight squats, dumbell swings, cone hops. Tabata intervals are 20 seconds of all out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 6 to 8 times. Do Tabata intervals a few times a week, ad more traditional sprint intervals once a week. You will have to push through it in your training, but your lactic threshold will improve.

Cheers Buk, much appreciated advice. Excellent points that will be followed up with some serious effort in the coming weeks/months.
