IIRC, a 1.5 mile run is part of the Army's entrance test, and should be completed in 11 minutes.

The fitness test for Officer entry is a lot tougher. They expect you to get around about 12 on the bleep test, and over 40 situps in a minute (to be competitive anyway).

Level 12 is a little difficult and minimum 40 situps is making you work for it. I was interested in a career in the RAF but decided for RM instead.

The minimum is 35, but you'd have to get over 40 to be competitive. The top in my group was 46 and I got 43.

Royal Mail? They have stringent tests too?
