Need some closure...

You are overthinking this simple fitness test way too much.

Just go out and give it your all.

AGD · 8 Feb 2009 at 23:41

12:00 is 12km/h so run faster than that! You have to run at approx 12.52km/h for 11:30. Good luck.

Do they do a points system like the US Navy?

Edit: Just read it, the Royal Navy just need the running bit.

Good luck dude

Voltar · 9 Feb 2009 at 00:21

is it not till the after joining tests that you need to do the swimming in overalls then ?

BigglesPiP · 9 Feb 2009 at 00:42

You're boned, there's your closure.

"andy" · 9 Feb 2009 at 00:45

what did you fail the 1st one on by the way ?

i keep getting told that learning to do the run shouldnt be too hard and is only a slow jogging speed. still not tried myself to be fair as im a lazy unfit *******

Dont think the navy have few hard physical tests anyway tbh

Just gotta be able to bend over correctly and take it up the pooper.

Pah

1.5miles in 10.30 is easy

even without any training!

With an incline!

Bengaboy · 9 Feb 2009 at 12:10

Just thinking this all in my head.

Can someone work out how fast I need to run to do it in...

10:30 mins
11:00 mins
10:00 mins
11:30 mins

Or someone tell me the formula to do it myself!

ash_scotland88 · 9 Feb 2009 at 12:14

i can walk 1mile in about 12mins....fair enough its down-hill, but running 1.5miles should be farely easy....

GOOD LUCK!!

ash_scotland88 · 9 Feb 2009 at 12:15

formulae
speed = distance/time

TheBrooder · 9 Feb 2009 at 12:18

it's all in the mind, you won't fail because you can't fail, failure is not an option ... or something like that

Just so I have an idea in me head

Also - speed = distance / time , so 2.4km / 0.2 (12 mins) = 12km. But what would be 10 mins?

How many kilometers an hour do I need to be going to do it in 11:30 and 12:00.

Thanks

1.5 miles is 2.4 kilometres.

2.4 Km in 12:00 is 12 kph

2.4 Km in 11:30 is 12.5 kph

2.4 Km in 10:00 is 14.4 kph

Just divide 60 by the number of minutes and multiply the result by 2.4

If you are fit and healthy I cant see the armed forces not accepting you. They are crying out for people.

Not so much at the moment, the navy in particular is exceeding it's recruitment targets. People sign up when they hit hard times financially it's like the increase in people wanting to be teachers!

Awwwwww, im really pooing myself now, another 2 hrs to my test...

I am actually pooing though while typing this, thought it would be a good idea to clear my bowels out before hand.
