I'm wondering what your first word was, but I'm assuming you don't like tests very much?

Do they still do bleep tests? Feels a bit old fashioned now with modern tech and ability to measure aerobic fitness and endurance.
I used to like the bleep test, the trick was always to do well enough on the first one but leave a bit out there so you could evidence some improvement the next week. |  | | |

Hiding in the trees on lap 2, popping back out on the 3rd.
Work smarter, not harder. | | | |

Cross country runs that took in a detour down Cut Throat Lane if you attended a certain Suffolk school. Anyone else on here have memories of that? |  |

I recall it was still happening in the Royle era, possibly MickMa too, unsure after that. | |

Packet of granny herbals and a couple of fags under the railway bridge, wait until you see the keen kids come back, the roll in some mud. | |

Yes, I think I’m getting confused with high school cross country. It was character building! | |

I always thought it was late June?
Maybe its later now we are in the Prem.
Either way, can't wait to see all the new players in the new training kit doing laps of the town! |  |

I was at Northgate with a certain Mr Robins a Scottish PE teacher.
Was a nightmare |  |

Cross country at Copleston secondary modern in the early 70’s was over on Rushmere heath , twice round the goal posts , watch Shorty Curtis go off in front like rocket while we followed down by the pond back up the hill with the last four being met by the PE teachers waiting with slipper in their hands to add encouragement to not walk! | | | |

Monday's the first day of pre-season training, maybe some in for one reason or another before then though. |  | | |

We’d been relegated to 3 laps around the playing fields by the time I got there in the 80s | |

I can remember them over Gypeswick park as a youngster, it had/has hills, and a boggy part, Furguson punishing them pre season after a month on the pies and beer. They all looked bulkier, and throwing up was regular. No close season dietary tips! Only Muhren looked in good shape. | | | |

It was the Crane Hill-London Road run going further back. Always used to get a shot of it on the back page of the Evening Star with Dozzell languishing at the back.

Very good advice. Problem for me is that it's 40 years too late! | | | |

Was 3 laps when I was there too from 83 to 88. When I got to the fourth year they trialed one lap of each field for whatever year you were in but soon realised that the lesson wasn’t long enough for unfit fourth years like me to complete the course! |  | | |
