Set-up

All fit players complete a timed 2-mile run on a measured course. Record every time; this is your baseline for mid-camp and end-camp retests.

Coaching points

  • Even pace — don't blow up in the first quarter mile
  • Record individual times accurately; you'll need them for comparison
  • Note who competes even when fatigued — tells you something about character

Progressions

  • No progression — this is a test, not a training run
  • Compare results at Fitness Test #2 (mid-camp) and #3 (end-camp)
