Inaccurate, it has to be done in a massive crowd of people in a cramped, sweaty gym with a slippery floor while wearing crappy shoes with almost no grip
Don't feel bad Anna, level 7.5 is a pass for the initial fitness test into the Australian Army. Good effort
Ah that’s awesome to know! Makes me feel way better, thank you! 🙏
To think only two years later and it's now only a requirement to get to level 6.1 for entry into combat support roles....... Soon it might just be an attempt ;)
It is so good to see Rick with the group again! I can't wait until Rick is up and running once more!
Hopefully soon!
I don’t think Sarah can do anymore “Average” runner videos, she is getting so good!
Yeah, she’s pushing it a bit now. Might need to Jess to do more videos.
Please do the 12 min Cooper test as the next challenge 🌞😁
Ooh that’s an interesting one Martin, we’ll have to give that a go.
@@runningchannel ❤️
They should definitely do this.
Yes
This!
Sarah's marathon training programme has made her into a really good runner, improving at a fast rate now
Sarah’s 10 was quite impressive there.
If they were doing this test for military, they could have been disqualified way early. Almost all of them started running the line before the beeps. It was a fun video to watch though.
Loved this, and Rick made a great commentator! There were a few questionable moments where I don't think feet quite reached cones before turning, but it's all in good fun! I'd love to try this!
Brought back so many memories - although difficult, I did enjoy the beep test at school. It was an event where people couldn’t pick their team mates (me usually being last!) and it was just you against yourself. Having said that, I think I’ll leave giving it a go again at my age 😂 well done to all involved, including Rick (amazing to see you!). Sarah’s running has improved so much since she trained for her marathon - keep it up, lady! 💪🏻
Editor:"can we use the special filters ? ".
Producer:"Wich one"
Editor:"yes!"
Love Rick’s commentary! Good effort everyone 💪💪
Can I just say Rick made this video, what a performance! He’s genuinely cracks me up so much
To get on the show SAS who dares wins you need to be able to do a bleep test of level 10.1. Sarah just made me think this is achievable. I am however a long slow miles runner like anna.
When I played soccer in college this was the standard fitness test. It is absolutely brutal in the late stages. Loved the video.
Awful test used to hate these, but you can't start the new leg before the beep from the last leg has happened.
Andy's mental stamina is amazing to me. What a role model!
I hated this stupid test! However, between the contestants, editing, and Rick the host, it was so fun to watch!!!
Any more fun school days competitions would be so fun! 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad to hear you enjoyed it Brooke!
Absolutely sensational guys and gals!!!.....so much fun to watch --- interesting and hilarious. Keep these types of video coming!....Matt -- Raleigh NC
Glad you enjoyed it Matt!
I remember my classmate at the age of 13/14, getting to level 12. That was impressive.
Nobody waits for the beap.
I was never a runner when I was in school. Now I’m learning how to in my thirties. I use to give up after the first or second level, even when our teacher would yell for me to keep going. I’d just sit down like a tired dog and not move. 😂 I should give it a go sometime and see how I do now.
Well done all. As a physio we use a walking version to test patients fitness 🙈. Yes we are that evil.
If you are looking for a new challenge why not take part in doddieaid. Its a great way to stay active at the start of the year and raise money for a great cause. You could see which presenter clocks the most miles.
Thanks for the recommendation Debbie!
Chapeau to Sarah for that 10.2 as well as Andy for winning.
I wanted to Sarah for the win, but went by Andy.
We did not do this pacer thing in school in Finland. Well, we had a version but it was for sit-ups not running. We did cooper test every bloody year. Over all at least my class didn't do a whole lot of running. Most of the running was either track or hurdles. Autumn was for track & field as well as some Finnish baseball. Winter was skating, ice hockey, or skiing mostly if too cold then inside playing something. Spring was for inside activities like basketball, floorball, gymnastics, swimming, trying different sports etc.
I remember doing this a couple of times in the mid-late 90's, I was that one kid who loved it🤣
You are one of the few Steven!
haha same I also really loved it especially because I really could go to my limit. With a cooper test it in my opinion much harder to pace if you don't run that much and don't have a running watch.
I remember getting level 17 when I was 15 or so, I wasn't especially in training for anything, just playing soccer everyday, running around. I miss being so fit!
What was ur 5K that time
Did you mate? One away from the world record did you?
No bleep test for me in the 1980s in school it was the dreaded cross country run ! Which I love doing now more than ever 🏃♂️🏃♂️
Love these challenge videos.
Would you consider devising a run-bike-run duathlon challenge?
Example; you have two hours to complete the challenge, furthest distance reached wins. You must sandwich a bike ride between two runs. Use tactics to calculate optimum activity length within the two hour window.
Would be great to see some duathlon content.
Andy is a two time Olympian (Beijing 2008, London 2012). Of course I put my bet on him
Got to be some good military entrance tests I’d love to see the group do! A bit like Natacha Oceanes challenge videos!!
Worst day of school? I loved it, ended up running on my own for ages and clocked in around 10 or 11 something by the end!
Great video guys! Which app or MP3 did you use to track the levels?
Team Sarah here!! haha..well done all of you!!
Andy came second he carried on even though he missed the beep so it wasn't a draw 🤔
I finished school in the 1970’s so this wasn’t even a “thing”! However, it was part of my hockey fitness regime & can’t say it was enjoyable, but did get the competitive juices flowing!! As well as being eliminated for missing a bleep, our coach eliminated us if we got to the turn too early! Perhaps the team ought to repeat the challenge in 6 months time?!
I used to enjoy the beep test back in school; I was pretty competitive when it came to stuff like this, and there were a few others in the same class as me who we were all competitive with each other about when it came to who was the better athlete, haha... Been a long time since I last did one; might have to try and give it a go for nostalgia sake... I think my best was 12.4, though not too sure i'd be hitting that these days, haha
I have always wanted to do one of these! Good video!!!😁👍
We were always told to be ahead of the beeps is cheating and you need to wait for them before you set off. Not sure if this is an official rule but there has been a lot of infringements!
How do you know when it's going to beep so you can set a pace?
Oh the memories *shudders* I got to level 5.5 in year 8 by giving up but now I wonder how much I would have got to now I run! Probably level 8? What a great challenge!
Bringing back that gym class trauma. 😂
LOVED the beep test when I was younger, got 13.4 when I was 12
I have never done this test at school, maybe it is just a British thing. What are the paces for each level ?
Rick, your commenting / refereeing was great, really funny :D
It is necessary for health dear mathila
Love it
It's not just a British thing. My class did it in school was well.
Rick was great commentating on this one.
It starts out ar around 5mph for level one and finishes at 11.5mph on level 21
Where can I download the audio of a bleep test?
Is there a clock right timer showing the runners how much time they have? we know it gets faster, but do they know how much time they have to run across that Gap?
Not when I was in school - not knowing how much time you had was part of what made it so awful
Great work by all, well done
We did the bleep test at school but it was for sit ups not for running?
We've not heard of that one! Maybe that could be the sequel to this video... 👀👀
If you can talk after a beep test, you haven't been putting enough effort in!
I'm Team Andy all the way with this one!
My favourite day in school, what are you talking about. And its not a sprinting test. Its endurance test.
1.52 who will win 🤔🤔🤔 team Sarah
Hated the bleep test in the Army snd still hate it now :). - good vid
This was so interesting. We don’t have this in the US. Instead, we have The Presidential Physical Fitness Challenge. It consists of running a mile, pull ups, sit-ups, and flexibility. You have to meet or surpass the goals set. It might be a fun challenge for the TRC Crew!
Watching this made me jealous, I wish we had the bleep test!! 😆
I'm from southeastern US and we DID have this test! It was called the pacer test, and as far as I can remember the levels were just 1,2,3, etc. and not 1, 1.1, 1.2, etc. Regional differences are so interesting!
I use this with my U12 football team and I just watch as they gradually flake out ha ha
There was a few times they both missed and no one counted it but hey who am i
what about the bronco which rugby players do
Love Andy Badders. Hate the bleep test. Well done team, hardcore
Anna needs to look at her running form on the Marathon WR pace treadmill challenge....SHE HAS GREAT SPRINTING FORM!!!
I'm predicting
Gold Andy
Silver George
Bronze Sarah
Runner up Anna - isn't she still carrying an injury??
Oh interesting results - close close
A fit Rick would have got to 18
So Sarah won. You go girl! Why? Because both men started some legs before the beep and should have been DQ'd ages ago.
Now, do the Cooper test next, but handicap it, but add a weight handicaps each lap deoending on the result of this challenge. Have Andy add 5kg/lap, and Anna add 1kg, with the other competitors adding various weights in between, depending on their results from this.
Yeah. I know that Andy would be at +40/45 kg by the end of the challenge
A few people have mentioned this, we must check it out.
U guys rocks.
Try the FIFA refeere interval test
😂😂
I did a 13/10 today
Sarah for the win, obviously!
How about the cooper run? Best effort in 12 minutes
I last did the bleep test in 2004/5 I am a lot fitter now than I was then. I would live to retry but it gives me nightmares
Give it a go and let us know how you get on!
Looks like a form of torture 😂
You are meant to wait for the next beep before you move
Yeah but what of starting speed and is it increased by 0.5 each level?
Andy is just a boss!
Andy and George are wearing the same T-shirts, coincidence? I don't think so!
I don't know if anyone commented on it before me… I know that test as “course navette”…
Oof. I'm from the American south and I definitely remember (and hated) this test. Lol
Andy but I have a inclination that Sarah might do it x
Sarah go go go.🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
To be fair, Anna was the only one not cheating. I'd have disqualified the others.
Y'all know one of the rules is that you can't leave early, right?
Ady, for sure
Anna missed it so many times... and still kept going.
Hands in your head!
🤷🏻♂️
Incredible 🤨
Bleep test was always dreaded pre season (rugby)! Bucket normally required!!! You should re do the video but this time do it properly and NOT go before the beeps!!! Just saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊
Team Sarah!
be Love to the Running Channel ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Great
Oh, I wonder if the olympian will win.
Beep beep beep.
I always remembered this the Bleep test, not beep test. Anyone else?
There are a few names around for this one, but bleep test seems to be the most widely used.
15?? Wtffff
What an odd test.
Worst camera work ever. Instead of being able to see them run, the camera moves everywhere and is trying to show cheap effects to give viewers a migraine.
Their techniques when getting to the line (which it should be a line not cones) is terrible. Would like to see it again with proper technique used where you tap the line with your foot before pushing off the other way
I think my record in school was level four before tapping out 😅
There's a part of me that would love to try this again, as an adult who actually enjoys running, but it seems like one of those ideas that's a lot more fun in theory than in practice.
I was level 3.7... I did it immediately after a warm up so was still recovering from that! It was then used in to sort us into ability groups for PE for year 9... I was put in the bottom set and the ability groups resulted in the entire class hating PE even more than we did before as we were treated as the fat unfit kids by the teachers - It put me off exercise big time - until I was in my mid 20's! - Most of the girls that were in my PE class still don't do any form of exercise even now. I was fortunate to find the fun in exercising as I got older - cycling to wonderful places with wonderful views and running in beautiful places and in a social way not in a way that made sure those who were not sporty were pushed out and bullied. I exercise for myself now not to be graded by teachers
We’ll have a video coming soon on how to set this up and some easy hints so make sure you’ve subscribed.
@@DevonPixie1991 my school pe classes are such a similar experience. I'm 30 and love exercise. It's great for my mental health I love feeling strong and trying stuff. I HATED pe. The teachers, I'm pretty sure hated children. I'm actually really angry in hindsight that they took something that should be joyful and turned it into something I cried about regularly.
Same as you, I started walking just to get out of town, and wanted to go further and started cycling, and realising that it can be fun and social, and let you see new places. I found out the countryside existed. And parkrun. And group sports without passive aggressive school bullying.
@@runningchannel was the video made on how to set up the bleep test? Can I find the audio somewhere? Thanks
Love Rick's excitement with the commentary!
Olympic athlete won you say? Looks fun! Well done to all. Rick.. Best wishes for your recovery.
Andy nurturing Anna through, coaching as he runs - he's such a sweetheart! X
Great video - the beep test is a classic. Has Andy ever beaten all 21 levels?
