If you like this challenge but it's private, for people of a much higher or lower ability/fitness level, or you think lots of people are lying about their scores, don't forget you can easily create a similar challenge for a different set of competitors, or keep it private for friends who you trust to post honest scores. If you create your own challenge you'll be able to moderate all entries as well.

The Renegade Bootneck: Hmmm... I agree with bear, need to see the technique... and have a look at the pull ups?

There are a few similar challenges to this at http://bootneckblueprint.com

GedMustoNumber1: 145 Press Ups and 186 Sit-Ups after doing those 1.5 miles back to back...no way Jose, plain and simple!!!...you must've only been coming up a couple an inch or two and that's it...do what guys like me, Bear, AndyWeaver, Worthster etc...does and put u

Bear: In order for me to believe this...I would need to just see the video of you doing the press ups and sit-ups. I bet they aren't even close to a "real" one.

Dinosaur: Extraordinay claims require extraordinary proof. We've got to see a video of this sort of performance, azza, because it's way, way ahead of what some very serious athletes have scored in this challenge!

About this challenge

Challenge created by:
SgtHardman

Challenge for: all

Challenge goal: improve general fitness

Challenge targets: whole body

Level: suitable for all competitors

Age: any age

What does this challenge involve?

Ever dreamed of night-time boat assaults on an enemy beach? See if you could pass the Royal Marines entrance fitness test.

The basic test is:
- do a 1.5 mile run in under 12.5mins
- 1 minute rest
- do a second 1.5 mile run in under 10.5mins

Then a gym test:
- press-ups in 2 mins (min target: 60)
- 2 mins rest
- sit-ups in 2 mins (min target: 80)
- 2 mins rest
- as many pull-ups as you can do without letting go (min target: 6)

There's also a bleep test and assault course, but we'll let you feeble civilians off for now.

Any score greater than 0 - congratulations, expect a call from the Marines any moment now.

Less than 0 - well, your score says it all! Work hard, work fast, work-out!

Go to leaderboard

Entry scores

E1: First 1.5 mile run

E2: Second 1.5 mile run

E3: No. of press-ups in 2 minutes

Challenge wall

So far going great, really enjoying it every Monday and improved a lot since my first attempt. Also just managed to pass all of them today, main sticking point was the press ups.
by simonp83 on 3/25/2013 5:07:00 PM

Good idea simonp83 - doing any challenge regularly is going to drive you up the leaderboard, but I think that's particularly true of this challenge
by TeamKonkura on 1/9/2013 10:34:00 PM

First try scored a -43, think I was a bit apprehensive and nervous about the second run that I caused problems with my heart racing too much in the first run lol. Going to make it my Monday night training session and just do it as a bit of fun and see how I improve.
