RG = race pace
FL = slow bottom (RG + 30 ″)
FM = medium bottom (RG + 15 ″)
FP = progressive bottom to be performed in 3 steps at decreasing distance and increasing speed
RM = average repetitions
CR = pace changes
FK = fartlek
For quality sessions, a good warm-up of at least 12 minutes and at least 4 stretches is essential. One of the most reliable tests for medium distances is the 5 x 2000 test, which can be performed with 2 minutes of standing rest.

1. The test must be repeated three times, and if the average of the three repetitions is
2. 20, it means that the RG is
3. The test can be done in two different ways: * With the athlete in the starting position. * With the athlete in the standing position, arms hanging down and hands behind his back. If the RG is below .
