Before we headed over to the in-laws for dinner, I thought I would quickly do my 1km time trial for my first fitness test. I did all of the other parts of the test last night and this was the only one I had left to do.
Unlike last round's fitness tests, I now have a 'legitimate' track - one that is already marked out at 500m - meaning no more calculations with google maps! All of my runs from now on will be the same length.
Now, you are probably confused by the title of this post, but I need to just say again:
Are You Serious!?!
I can't believe I am about to tell you all this, but I ran (mostly) 1km in 7 minutes 26 seconds!!!! That means that I am in the intermediate category!!!
I am so surprised as I thought that I would have lost all of my fitness during my "mopey off season"!
The results of the other portions of my test are as follows:
- Push ups: 35 on knees
- Sit and reach: +3cm
- Ab test: 0 (totally as expected)
- Wall sit: 17 seconds
These are all worse than my last fitness test results, however other than the ab test, they are all better than my first fitness test last round - which I count as a positive!!
So, I'm off now to check out the intermediate exercise section on the 12wbt site!!
