Set-up

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.

Coaching points

  • 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

Progressions

  • 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
