@mage4086 I’m late af but yeah I stepped in it. The worst part is the fact it was an indoor track and it smelled terrible. I couldn’t focus on it though I just had to keep running.
@@infiniteCK nahhhh it’s not what you think it was a smaller track so the 18 laps still equal 1.5 miles. Honestly a shorter track really helped me mentally
11:58 for a mile and a half isn’t that crazy. Basically a 7:20 minute mile pace to get to 11:00 for the mile and a half which isn’t that crazy. Even if you are out of shape and can’t do it just start jogging 4-5 times a week and keep at it.
@@pizzaparty-r1c well there is really no other way to put it other than that is the requirement that they have and we must pass it if we want to become troopers. If you don’t run every day I would start running every day because in the academy they run every day and at the end they want you to be at 70% of the cooper standards which is a mile and a half in 10:58 for males ages 20-29.
@@pizzaparty-r1c I get what you mean. All I’m saying is that it is what it is. Us complaining about it isn’t going to change anything. I’m with you I find it ridiculous that they don’t have some sort of fitness standards for their current employees.
Mine is coming up. This is what I'm most afraid of since I'm young and thus have the lower time requirement. Especially not being on a treadmill or having a way to gauge the time or distance well, I'm afraid my pacing will fall off.
@@bjaekDamn man, we get 15 minutes down here in Alabama. We got it easy 22 push-ups in 90 seconds, 22 sit-ups in 90 seconds, 1.5 mile run in 15 minutes or less, push a crown vic 15 feet, pull a 165Lb dummy 15 feet, hop over a fence, go through a window, and last but not least walk across a 12 foot long beam. We got it stupid easy down here.
@@WilhelmMuller88that’s because your area is in higher demand for police officers. I live in Springfield and the 1.5 mile run is 15 minutes here as well. Due to the bad stigma on officers nowadays and they desperately need more. They even upped the pay. So I’m training for the exam as of rn.
Yes. If you are only doing a quarter mile, then its basically just a short sprint, and the olympians hit 45-50 secs for a quarter mile. If you are running further than that, 8 min miles are pretty decent compared to many people, if slower than people training often.
I have my test, August 15th. I cant get my 1.5 mile time down to 15min Closest I got was 17 min. I train every day on the treadmil push myself. F*ck man!
@@2deboss Failed. I knew I wasn't going to pass two of the tests. I wanted to see where I was in relation to the assessments and the other people trying out. Learned a lot.
@@Officialprodbytreybeats shit I think ima fail mine too. Got mine on the 19th for 1.5 in 14 min. I got everything else down but this. We’ll see how it goes
@2deboss Either way, I believe you will feel accomplished no matter the result. What truly wrecked my cardio was the drag and carry, a sled pull activity with variants in there. I won't lie. On the 2nd lap of the mile, I almost self selected and quit. I wouldn't have ever forgiven myself, so I pushed on. You learn a lot, see the competition, and realize that the markers that are set for us are the MINIMUM standard. Long slow jogs like 3miles plus, strategic HIIT, solid core elements of strength training, and some good hiking and stretching will get you ready for it all.
I just passed my test under 15 minutes for 1.5 miles. You have to practice outside on some type of trail or path outside, preferably one with a slight hill at some point. I practiced on a circular walking trail that had a hill. Measure the distance with a smart watch and keep running that track until you can do 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. Train for speed one day and train for endurance the other day. Speed training you should be doing laps as fast as you can without stopping. For endurance you should run at a slower pace but longer than 1.5 miles. Both of those exercises will increase your speed when doing the actual test.
this was one of the most sloppiest run i have ever seen 😂 im 37 and i passed my chip with my run being 13.12 and my age group is 1538 for 40 % i surpassed that
A lot of the requirements are dumb cause they don’t even keep this physical fitness shit up after the academy. Atleast when I was In the army we worked out everyday most cops are out of shape.
@@Htxracing97 seems a bit extreme to me. They have 11:58 to complete a mile and a half. I mean they aren’t training to become Olympic runners, they signed up to be police officers. I get that you should be in shape, but give me a break with that run time. Has to be completed way too fast.
Such an unfair test. Someone with low body weight will run faster. Someone that is tall (long legs = long strides) will run faster. I got lapped by a skinny guy that could barely do 10 pushups. I did 50 pushups and 45 situps. I could man handle most cops. The run test is moot. Fights don't last more than 60 seconds.
I just passed my pt/written test!!! Some of the officers were getting annoyed due to so many of the recruits puking all over the track.

@@Chill_Deenwhat time did you need to pass and how many laps around the track?
@@infiniteCK we had to run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes so 18 laps for our track I did it in 12:13

Bro was not running along side, he was lapping that other person.
I'm not very fit but I'd just bolt at the start , with 25 police behind me running ,new track record coming right up , LoL
I definitely wouldn’t bolt. You got 6 laps and if you gas yourself out at the first lap you’re done for.
It doesn't say anything about 11:58 ... this is crazy

I feel like doing it as a group is alot easier. Also is the run after the push ups and sit ups ?
