stabmasterarson said:I looked at the fitness prep pdf for the passing times for the 2.4k run, and I was wondering if you had to run constantly for the whole time at a steady pace when qualifiying. The reason I ask is I did the run the other day and finished it in 10:52 which for my age (35) is considered superior. The thing is is I kind of ran a little too fast on the first 3 laps (1:30ish), so I was sucking wind a bit in my last 3 laps and walked probably a total of 100m out of the 2.4k on the last 3 laps.
On all the PT tests I've done, they never cared what our time was for each lap, just the end time. If your total run time was a pass, thats all they cared about an not that you started out fast an slowed down. An like armychick said on BMQ you will do the beep test. But you can expect to run for morning PT.
As for the shuttle run prep some people here have recommended downloading the beep test an training for that. I don't buy into that theory. What I do for PT is running varied distances aswell as intervals, Crossfit/BrassRingFitness/MilitaryAthlete, weights an ruck marches. I've never specifically trained for the beep test/shuttle run an I've always scored good on it.
