cleaner4hire Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Does anyone else have to take fitness tests as a part of their job? Im in the RAF and had my annual fitness test an hour ago. However i made a schoolboy error by taking some cod liver oil at lunch; at level 7 on the bleep test it decided it needed swallowing again, sick in mouth and running dont mix. So i ended up having to pull out... the first time ive failed it in 9 years and im gutted. to make it even better ive now gotta sit in my office and listen to everyone calling me sickboy until i can retake it next week; in 30 mins ive counted 12 different people :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 We have to do a fitness test annually and they will be starting the beep test, I last did it in the RN 20yrs ago ! They also say it will be a level playing field, no bias for age so a 55-60 year old will have to be the same fitness level of a 20year old............... yeah right :blink: Ho hum, time to dust off my Dunlop green flash tennis pumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookie Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Put two lines 20m apart on a floor. Play a tape with bleeps on and run between the lines, aiming to touch the line on the bleep. The bleeps get closer together, so what starts off at a walk ends in a sprint. I did one about 10 years ago and got a 10.8, but I was really struggling at the end.
