Set-up

All players run 2 miles on a measured loop or track; record individual times. Coach notes who leads, who fades, who quits early.

Coaching points

  • Set a pace — don't sprint the first quarter mile
  • Mental toughness starts here; how you run when no one's watching

Progressions

  • Use results to split conditioning groups for later sessions
  • Post times on a squad sheet — accountability from day one
