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
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    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!
