Beep Test (Midpoint Fitness Check)

Full squad completes the multi-stage fitness test. Record level and shuttle reached per player. Compare to Monday's 2-mile time — two data points are better than one. Flag anyone who's gone backwards.

• Push to failure — that's the point; we need the real number
• Note who quits early versus who fights; that tells you something too
• Encourage quietly — no embarrassing anyone in front of peers

• Final beep test at session 9 will complete the three-point tracking arc
• Use data to adjust loads for individuals — not everyone trains the same volume
