I am wanting to improve fitness and in a way speed too to help me improve my game when I play hockey. I usually have a match or 2 every saturday. I am thinking of taking my running in the evenings to improve my fitness level. How often do you guys think is best, how many days should i go for a run.. to quickly improve my fitness so i can progress up the teams in my hockey club. My hockey skills are ok, it my fitness that is letting in down a bit.
Thanks in advance guys

I can't attend the training sessions due to work commitments currently unfortunately. Hence why I am looking to do running on my own. Hopefully soon the work commitments will change then I will attend the training sessions. But I even then I would like to continue the running time permitting.
I am reasonably fit.. it depends how fast you wanted me to run the 3 miles in. I have been a lot fitter in the past. I did once do 2 marathons on the past. But the answer to your question is yes i could.
Well I usually play left wing or left midfield.
