New fitness test

You also need to observe the start gate too so that people aren't taking a head start, of longer recovery walk.
And yep there will be practise tests at Par. Not that you'll need it mate.I have asked.
Sprints I can do! Anything longer than 400m and I’m needing a practice run though!

Thats what I mean, yes. The observors need be impartial and strong. Nobody asking for anyone to be kicked off the test unfairly, however, if you dont get to end line and-or get away too quick, thats unfair on those doing the test correctly
I was pulled up more than once, told my sprints were too close to time for comfort, which, indeed they were. However, never ever did I fail a single sprint, and thats the be all and end all, enough said for me that even with timing gates someone will try manipulate the results to suit.
That's fine. This test is just 75m runs (number and timings to be confirmed.) So you'll be reet.Sprints I can do! Anything longer than 400m and I’m needing a practice run though!
On a 100m track... all you need is a cone 12.5m from start AND finish lines
Like I mentioned, an easy way to see how close you are to passing, take any County Pitch... 100 yards in length invariably. Easy enough to guestimate 80 yards(ish) and use your watch to measure 40s sections (15s runs with 25s recovery rather than 22s or whatever)
Test takes 26 minutes 15s to complete using this formula (not including the final 25s recovery cos that bit takes all day
)
I think bester was referring to actual test day as it requires more people to monitor around the track than it would just up and down.On a 100m track... all you need is a cone 12.5m from start AND finish lines

Can be done anywhere where there is 100m in reality it's getting then measurements right.
I'd advocate either running to the test times or quicker or adding an extra 10 intervals in training to ensure that gets day is a breeze.
Oh I see... Soz @bester ... Let's hope I'm on the ball by 3pm today

When we did we went in pairs in 4 groups staggered around the track so no one was disadvantaged.
40m times anyone?
Last time, two years ago, at 47, I got 5,02 fastest on the day and gutted not to go under 5 as had done in practice - toot!
The young lads slaughter me in the cooper and beep tho!

2 x 50m in 7.5s.
Level 3s are 40m in 6.2s
So I ran this as a test yesterday evening.
I used the dutch FA Woman's fifa test audio and basically just ran hard then walked. I ended up ahead of what I needed to do. I've looked into the timings and you effectively need to run at a 6.04 minute per mile pace during the 17s "sprint".

No worries, as long as folks gave them if they want that’s the main thingThink there were links sent with the fitness tests emails.
