Set-up
All players run 2 miles at pace. Record every time. This is the benchmark — split times, who fades, who surges. Coach observes and notes without commentary.
Coaching points
- Pace yourself through the first mile — blowing up early tells me about your game fitness.
- Record your own split at halfway; we'll compare at midpoint and end-of-camp retests.
- No drama about times today — it's a snapshot, not a verdict.
Progressions
- Use times to build personalized interval targets for later base sessions.
- Pair players by similar times for future fitness pairs work.
