Set-up
Three rounds of 1000m at 75–80% effort with 90 seconds rest between. Not a sprint, not a jog — controlled, sustainable pace. High-stamina players like Vega, Mentzer, Bergman set the standard.
Coaching points
- Consistent pace per lap — not too fast early
- Breathe, settle, find a rhythm; aerobic base not anaerobic
- Encourage, don't ridicule — some kids are still getting fit
Progressions
- Reduce rest to 60 seconds in second week if squad handles this
- Add a final 400m sprint after the third repeat for mental toughness
