At large breaks, like Christmas and summer, students are expected to train on their own and come back in shape. Coaches expect this so they don't have to focus on conditioning and can get right into skills and drills. When students arrive back on campus after such long breaks the first practice that takes place is usually set aside for a run test. This is an athletes worst nightmare. Being tested on your conditioning level is never fun, it's brutal! At Loyola our standard run tests are 300's and the Manchester. 300 testing consists of 4 300 yard sprints. To complete this you must run to the 50 yard line and back 3 times in under 60 seconds. You get a 3 minute recovery in between each 300. The Manchester is another fitness test that really focus on testing endurance. You must run 10 100's in 25 seconds with a 35 second jog back. After the first 10 your speed must decrease 1 second each time. (24 sprint, 36 jog), (23 sprint, 37 jog), (22 sprint, 38 jog) etc.. Until you complete 15 second sprint 45 second jog 3 times! If you complete this you beat the test!
