Welcome back to the new set of track running sessions with Stephan Teeling Lynch. I can't speak for anyone else but it was good to get back to a structured coached sessions. Hard but good. There is something to be said for having a sadist making sure you dont slack off and he actually seems to enjoy our pain. In fairness last night was not one of the worst sessions but I am under no illusions that every session will be like that. Anyhow here is the link for the Cooper test http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_test I have also copied the aticle into the Active topic sessions of this webpage (Below the shout box)

The aim of this test is to measure the distance achieved in a 12 minute block. This test will be repeated in due course and hopefully we should all see the measurable improvements.
