work-out


Explanation:
If it were a car, I'd say "running in" although a lot of people won't remember that you had to do this to a new engine!

Or "proper going over". It's the right kind of experience.

rehearsal


Explanation:
Of course 'rehearsal' isn't the translation of 'rodaje' but I think it could fit.

Smith told BBC Radio 5 live: "The focus isn't at all on medals, it's about preparing in the right way for the Olympic Games in the summer. This is a good rehearsal in terms of atmosphere and pressure.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/olympics/18195857

But this was a good test, and the British passed it with ease.
"This full rehearsal has been a blessing in disguise for this team," said Eddie van Hoof, British men's technical director. "Although we'd rather not have had to do it."

training/aprenticeship


Explanation:
Figuratively speaking, "rodaje" in this context means "training"

In that context, they are referring to the extra training and preparation that they (athletes) will require for the Pre-Olympics.

If we examine very carefully the previous sentence, the interviewee responded that they would have to take the Pre-Olympics as a preparation as the level of competition in the Pre-Olympics is really high. Then the interviewee continued saying that "Nos daría mucho más rodaje el Preolímpico..."
Under this context, I would suggest that "rodaje" is meaning "training" as suggested by Wordreference.
