  1. Anyone on here do the Bleep test often, or at all?

    My brother gave me a download of it and went out earlier tonight, and I did it twice - First time I score 10.7 and second time was 10.1.

    What's a good score to be getting on this?

    Is it a good break away from HIIT?

    Level 10 Shuttle 1 should be about 47 VO2 max (the volume of oxygen you can consume while exercising at your maximum capacity) which is what it's actually measuring in relation to your fitness. Go to http://phoenixmartialarts.tripod.com/id19.html to check the level you want to be at for your age, fitness level, etc. Might give you something to work towards. However, just make sure you're actually running the correct distance measured out or you will be getting inaccurate results.

    I wouldn't necessarily use the bleep test as part of your programme, it's great for fitness obviously, but it's probably more effective used as an every-so-often measurement of your progress. If you use it too often you might become disengaged and lose your performance. It's hella boring.
