    Idk what the world record is but I’ve got 140 myself on a gym floor, watched my school record of 156 (Hayfield HS). Highest I’ve heard and believed was around 170 Brandon McGorty from Chantilly HS/Standford.
    What I’ve been told about the rules is you need at least 1 foot over the line which saves a ton

      Spencer's score would convert to ~180 on the test most people are familiar with.
      Pretty sure most tests run in school gyms are the 15m test since the standard HS basketball court width is 50 ft (15.24m). Each one-minute level has the same speed in both tests, so the 15m test has more shuttles per level. So if you take Spencer's total distance (20*135=2700) and divide by 15 this converts to 180 on that test (not a perfect conversion bc there are more turns on the shorter test but pretty close).

  • @brendangarske553
    @brendangarske553 Год назад +25

    I’m lead to believe you only need one foot over the line each rep so going completely past the line and making big turns is extremely inefficient. Face the side and reach into the line with an extended leg and then use that to push off as you swivel to run back. Alternate legs on each rep.
    I’d love to see another video with this method, I think you’d crack 140.

    The Fitnessgram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20-meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line at at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound. Your test is over. Test will begin on the word start. On your mark. Get ready, start.

    All those comments of kids or people saying they did way better in a gym but yet probably none of them can come close to Spencer’s 8:07 3k. Guys, your pacer test in PE were not legit. Try measuring a real 20m and do it like Spencer and I doubt most of you even break 100.
