RAF Bleep Test

Hi

When doing the the RAF bleep test does all your body have to pass the marker each time or do you just need to reach it with your foot??

Thanks.

Only one foot needs to touch the line!

Bloody hell fire.

I've been jumping my whole body over the line, plus an extra 5 meters to be extra sure.

I'm glad you asked, burney. I'm glad you answered neildo.

What score are you reaching, out of curiosity? Last time I tried the bleep test I dropped after 12.6. Might of been able to push it a little further but throwing up isn't my idea of fun, especially when nothing is riding on it.

This is what I was doing in training also mate, thought it was both feet over...made the real test seem a bit easier!

And Nico....i got 12.8 at OASC, was aiming for 13 but I think that a combination of fasting from 8pm the night before and then wolfing down two bits of toast and choccie spread with a can of Red Bull before getting on the bus to the hall didn't help my performance much. The pressure from the cpl taking our test/encouragement from the lads did help though.

If your getting 12.6 i'd be happy; i was running alone for a good level or two.
