Set-up

Repeat the exact same 2-mile course from August 3rd. Record all times and compare against baseline. Any player slower than test one gets a quiet word — not public.

Coaching points

Compare splits: if the back half is slower, aerobic base still needs work
Note psychological response — who pushes harder knowing they're being timed?
Doubtful players (Bianchi, Haddad) on modified load if not cleared by medical staff
