Having a PE lesson was a bit different than most of the others in this class, I am guessing. The pre and post assessments are much simpler. I chose to teach one of the running days rather than one of the swimming ones. I asked students to record what they thought was a reasonable goal time for the run. Then I had them write which parts of the run would be the toughest, easiest, etc (they have ran the course before).
I gave students strategies to overcome running up hills, down hills, different breathing patterns, small ways to conserve energy while running, etc. Most of them had never been "taught" to run so they were actually very interested.
The best part of the day was watching those students who pushed themselves and beat their goal time. While they finished exhausted you could see the look of accomplishment on their face when I read their finishing time.
