The beep test

It would seem that a person with the speed of a sprinter and the endurance of a distance runner would excel.

 

You guys have gotten my curiosity going. I found this.

Looks like soccer, rugby, middle distance, basketball players are all represented. Interesting.

 

We did it awhile back, I got 8.7 :bang::bang:

Its interesting though, a guy from my gym gets about 14-15 on it, and is generally much fitter than me acording to most exercies, can do more burpies etc, yet I'm in better shape than him when in sparring, I can spar more rounds more intensely and get less tired.

 

Do you make your students kick their way through the wall and do the extra 2m in the car park?

 

I was imagining a T.A.R.D.I.S. type solution, but i'm immature like that.

 

Top use of the word "roaring" there. Doesn't get used enough that word.

He must be tense as hell when he's sparring!

Next time I do the beep test, I'm going to try a different technique. Instead of pacing myself so I just make the beeps, I'm going to sprint so I have a second to catch my breath at each end. I wonder if that would help...

 

We do the same. You get some pretty impressive scores that way.

 

trust me, it doesn't

 

Did it again....got 8.1! Huge improvement from last time!

 

Do you know how your one is set up? ie 15/20m?

 

20m....but my trainer did 19m cos there was a slight hill.

 

I got 11 something my last one, was so ****ed off until someone reminded me I am 48, overweight and have survived cancer and hepC. It sounds a little better then.
