I think I've done it in college for PE or some similar agonising test

These days at Boxing we sometimes have to run back and forth x-number of times and try to finish first. I always try to geth the first two positions in the team coz that way you will not be the last one to run, even if your team loses on a whole.



I hate running!

oooooh, i used to love doing that at school cos i always used to come first (back in the days that i used to exercise).

i havent really exercised since i was 15ish, so can safely say that bleep test would be my worst nightmare now....

never had a bleep test

though to pass grade 9 gym, you have to be able to run 12 min non-stop. you stop 4 times and khallas, youve failed. i can run upto about 9 min before i start panting like a dog. its damn hard. the teach says i gotta pace myself more. thats about it.

and we have this "game" called octopus. where you run bak & forth from wall to wall in the gym and theres someone in the middle that has to catch you. they call it a game, but its an excercise. its worse than running, becaus this doesnt stop until everyone is out.

yea thats the sme as the cooper test/12 min run. were always made 2 do that and the bleep test 2 make sure were fit. i can do 3000m in the time, which is quite gd for me seeing as i HATE running.
