Set-up
All fit players complete a 2-mile run on a measured course. Record every time. Doubtful players (Nguyen) do a light jog at their own pace and report any discomfort.
Coaching points
- Record individual times — this is baseline data, not a trial by fire.
- Watch who leads, who quits, who encourages teammates — tells you more than the stopwatch.
- Remind lads this is information, not selection — run honest.
Progressions
- Compare to midpoint and final test results to track aerobic improvement across camp.
- Use results to inform conditioning load for low-stamina players (Curry, Berdecia when he returns, Dougherty).
