Yeah I was at an open day some time back. I think I would pass the shuttle test, so need to work more on the push ups and sit ups, the extra few KG I have put on over the years isn't helping.

I did find this which is interesting for the beep test, gives a break down of speeds and timings for each level, so if you wanted to train on a machine as such you could use these settings to help you out. I think these are the timings.

Level Shuttles running speed (km/h) time per shuttle (s) Total level time (s) Cumulative Time (min:seconds) Distance per level (m) Cumulative Distance (m)
1 7 8.0 9.00 63.0 1:03 140 140
2 8 9.0 8.00 64.0 2:07 160 300
3 8 9.5 7.58 60.6 3:08 160 460
4 9 10.0 7.20 64.8 4:12 180 640
5 9 10.5 6.86 61.7 5:14 180 820
6 10 11.0 6.55 65.5 6:20 200 1020
7 10 11.5 6.26 62.6 7:22 200 1220
8 11 12.0 6.00 66.0 8:28 220 1440
9 11 12.5 5.76 63.4 9:32 220 1660

Can I ask where you sourced this info? Gonna give this a lash on a treadmill tonight.

You'd be better off marking out the 20 meters and actually doing the shuttles. Its a big difference being about to run at that speed for the given amount of time to having to stop and start every few seconds. You're losing all momentum and having to generate it again in the opposite direction. I could easily do the time on the threadmil but when I tried the app I struggled. Just a suggestion. Good luck

What tool you so long to be called? Vetting? I'm between 600-610. Do ya think Feb would be realistic? Vetting has been cleared.

Held up by vetting, only got the all clear three weeks ago. If there's a load of people held up with vetting you could be in with a chance, fingers crossed.

Agree, as I said. I would use it to supplement a 20 metre marked out run. What I plan to do is, the 20 metres on its own, and when in the gym, try doing 8 mins at 12km/h max for my level.

As I mentioned before in another thread, if your near any tennis courts, tram line to tram line (think that the top and bottom lines!) is 23 metres in total, if you can do the 23 metres without any issue you'll have breathing space on the 20 metre shuttle run.

Nobody has told me anything, I've asked so many times for an explanation but I cant get one.

I was cleared without any issues at local level so I haven't the foggiest what's going on! I literally have no nerves left haha

I wouldn't imagine so. November class were roughly in the 400s. But there's lads higher up on the panel in the 100s for example that have vetting outstanding. If they're cleared by the time the invitations are being sent out they'll be called first then it'll go down the OOM!

does your OOM drop after the medical lads?Ive the physical left thats about it!

Hi
My OOM is under 20 and my vetting is complete. I failed the physical on push ups and have a resit in the middle of January, do you think it would be too late for Feb?

Also has anyone got any tips on perfecting my push ups?
