What level can you reach?
I am currently on 7.3, just missed 7.4.
Not bad considering I started at 5.1 and almost threw up 2 weeks ago.

    Yeah I used to hate it and suck at it in school.
    All the football playing kids always aced it.
    It's a good measurable way of getting fit.
    I need 6.10 for the police force which I am trying out for.

    maybe it's because I'm some sort of masochist, or maybe because I'm highly competitive but I love the beep test :lol: seriously

    Yep, got my heart and mind set on it.
    No need to fear me lol.
    Such a long journey, hold your horses.
    It takes so much just to get to the academy, from there it is 33 weeks of hard work.

    Sweet... I'll be in... I did it for a few months... got to about 8...I'd be back to about high 6s or 7s at best now

    A mate of mine who is aiming for the next commonwealth games laughed at me... he would run a 400m, then launch straight into it and finish it...

    I hope that is developed through years of hard running and not being natural gifted.
    I want to get that far!
