V02 max easily measured by Beep test

[wilkes2011]

Anyone at Ranger Regiment or most serious athletes have heard of this test. The Beep Test. I forget who it was developed by. You have a set course of two cones 20 meters apart. You have to make the next cone before the beep. Beeps progressively get faster til its absolutelty ludicrous. You score is based on the level you acheive and then can be compared to a chart for V02 max.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_fitness_test

I did it earlier this year when I was down at Samurai69`s gym in Watford. Reached 11.2 or a "percieved" VO2 max of 50.8.

Thats very good. Was that your first time doing it?The highest I have ever got was a 12.4. It was miserable and I still had alot of events left after that

Thought I best add that I did my bleep test after eating a large English breakfast & could taste the black pudding wanting to make a return call
