I think I got something like 3, back in '06. I couldn't be fucked, and was terribly unfit.

Apparently some marathon runner can go to the end of the tape...


... two times in a row. Not sure if it's true though.
Not true, as you start pushing 17-18 it turns into a lactic situation where middle distance runners shine through. I'd like to see Kenenisa Bekele do it.

The best I've seen was 16.3 by a 15 year old, he was nationally second in cross country and 800m at the time though.

My best is 14.11, I'm a 200-400 runner.

9, but i'm flat out sprinting, like, 9's my hundred metre pace and i get that far, i just run forever, on the 12 minute bike test, my vO2 is like 15 points higher.
I'm a cyclist though so i make up for my lack of pure speed with sheer strength making me quite quick up hills

i last did it back in 98, and cant remember what i got. But i know that they stupidly made us do it a few hours before the cross country. So most of us were like meh lol. Someone got up to ah 7 and then stopped as she was a good runner and didnt want to waste energy.

I'm wondering what can improve your beep test results?

The last time i did it, in year 10 i got 9.6 but i feel i could have pushed a 9.8 that day.

+1. But I didn't want to quit till at least a good 3-4 people had, so I pushed myself up to 5, maybe 5.5. Some of you guys have insane numbers.
