The Bleep Test

[ICB]

Now I have been getting into some good shape over the last two months, with me being unemployed.

My cardio is quite good right now and can comfortably do 8 miles in an hour, now I fancy doing the bleep test I been looking into it and im gonna download it on the old Ipod, now has anyone here done the bleep test I remember doing it at school and I got 10.something.

Looking into it and what speeds and what distances you are doing im quite suprised to here how hard it is to complete the 21 levels, I was looking at the famous sportsman who have tried the bleep test and the one and only Seb Coe only got to level 17?? I thought he would piss the bleep test. Maybe its a bit to far for him?

Now im not the greatest mathmatician but I worked out the whole test is just over three miles the top speed you do is around 11 miles an hour and the test is completed in just over 22 minutes, now I am was going to set my self a challenge to complete this before the end of 2010 at maybe doing it once a month, but seeing all these fit athletes and other sportsman averaging around 13/14 am i aiming for the impossible??

I reckon I could bang out level 14 on my first attempt but after reading how hard it seems to be maybe I will never get anywhere near the level 21, has anyone else done in it recent times and how far have they got?

Yea i remember doing that in my school about 6 or 7 years ago, i remember that i was the fittest in my class.

Which wern't saying much because they were all mostly smokers, and fatties or serverly out of shape.

But hey atleast i won it, its better than losing i guess

I think at school mine varied between around 9 and 11 depending on how fit or arsed i was.

Class clowns would routinely drop out at 3 just for the laugh.

I think the school one only went up to 15 and very few people completed it.

Well, i used to get 17 or 18 at school, BUT i spoke to my friend the other day who has done it recently and it turns out at school it was measured far too short. so i was probably only doing about 11. damn.

Yes apparently there is a 15 metre test and a 20 metre test.

Yeah, I wouldn't go off the ones you did in school... some are shorter in distance, some have the levels go up quicker etc.
