I think there's a potential royal marines forums, you might get better information from that. What times are you getting for your split 3 mile run? I take it you've passed your pjft? If I was you I'd be more concerned about getting my return 1.5m run down to below 10 mins. Just put down the miles (preferably off road) and strengthen your legs with squats, split squats, heel lifts etc. It's not to say it can't be done but don't go from doing little to doing loads straight away. The fitness requirements for these tests aren’t incredibly high, but if you’re not doing any form of regular exercise, this will still be a challenge.
By all means do intervals (or better still hill reps) and throw one longer run in a week but if you jump in to three interval sessions and a long run you will greatly increase your chance of injury. If your fitness levels are low (if not, skip to the next section): Many people need to do the beep test for the police, fire or army recruitment purposes. Buy this book - Royal Marines Fitness: Physical Training Manual.įocus your training around avoiding injury and increasing your running base. In reply to as646: as646: If you're looking to train for the Royal Marines and you don't do much running now then forget about the bleep test and put it to the back of your mind.
