There is also the ‘complication’  if the proposed change to this years fitness test From Cooper test to FIFA. How can refs prepare for this test if they can’t get onto tracks or football pitches? Road running is not, IMO, comparable.

This will be my first year on the FIFA test rather than the Cooper.  I've found preparing for it straightforward by simply finding a flat, quiet part of the park that is 100m long.  Split it into roughly 12.5m, 75m and 12.5m and then at the end of each 'sprint' just walk up and back to the end marker, replicating the 25m portion of the test.  Repeat 40 times and Bob's your uncle (aside from a few funny looks by others doing more normal exercise!!)
