    I just completed my army assessment yesterday, it was my first time and I was so worried about the bleep test as I'm sure a lot of you are. During my practices I was getting a 5, but all I kept thinking was that I will have to wait another three months to retake it if I fail! I ended up with a 7.5 and passed my assessment with an A. Please don't worry about this, just practice your running and take the advice from this video and you will be fine! Best of luck to everyone!

    Did my assessment up at Lichfield last Friday, I went for regular infantry and needed 8.7.
    Ended up getting 10.2.
    My advice would be: don’t go out the gates flying, you get a lot of time so use it. It will get more difficult at around 8.5 I’d say, dig deep and push as much as you can. YOU GET 3 WARNINGS and if you you get a warning but then regain and make the next run the warnings reset.

    From someone who's made 3 attempts to join the army so far, I wouldn't stress out over the fitness tests... I made my first 2 attempts to join the Grenadier Guards back in 2014. From what I remember, my run time was around 11:30, but the interviewer was unhappy it wasn't 10:30, even though the cut off point was 12:45. So I just guessed they had to be more picky, due to the cuts. I then took an interest in the reserves last year, after getting fed up with my job at the time. I eventually went to the selection centre for the third time, of course this time, going for the reserves and trying to pass their new fitness tests. I can't remember what I got for the medball or thigh pull, but my run time was around 9 30. But this time they said I need to improve my confidence in the team tasks. Lucky I'm going for the reserves, so they can help me during the drill nights. Or I probably would be fucked if I was going for regulars!

  • @johnburns90

    For anyone worrying about the mile and a half regardless of it happening or not, don’t be. They can be just as hard as each other. I preferred the 1.5 as your on your own, no pressure with who’s around you as much. It’s all in your mind at the end of the day as long as you have the physical fitness/stamina to power through. Just mind and hit that line before the beep 😉You’ll all do well. Good luck!!

    My tip would be to focus breathing through your nose.
    Dont sprint at all make sure you hold back a bit on first few levels i'd say till 5
    From 5 it should be your normal running pace
    And my strategy was to sprint 2 steps and rest was to run my normal pace from stage 6
    Sprint 3 steps and run pace on stage 7
    Sprint 4 steps and run pace on stage 8
    Sprint 5 steps and run pace for 9
    I ended up getting level 10 so it defo worked for me.

    Completed this on 1st July, bleep test was done outside in the car park, found it easier to do the bleep test than the run itself. Also the assessment it’s extremely quick. I arrived at 19:00 and passed and was at the train station at 12:00 following day. Bleep test score is 8.7 for armoured corp and infantry. Royal Artillery is 7.9 can’t remember the rest. Good encouragement from the staff when doing the run and as Craig said just pace yourself and you’ll get through it. Would recommend Fartlek training to prepare.

He did bleep just after they let them eat food so he said he felt like throwing up at the end of run. He breezed assessment, got his cert and is off to Catterick 20 Sept for Ph1.

      @@kanedavies8856 I just spoke to my lad, he said out of the guys that were there with him only 2 took suits, or at least suit pants, shirt and tie (my lad was one of them but not full suit). An Army guy walked passed them and said "its good to see some of you in suits". Get from that what you will but seems they may like the effort made. Im guessing he got chance to change after medical and bleep. Lots of boring sitting around, too.
      The "interview", my lad just said it was basically what he got right, what he got wrong, keep training before Ph1, to 'bulk out', how he did in the tests, the marks he got; general stuff really.
      Last day was up at 6am, bags packed, bed done, stuff taken to safe room etc. Problem was, they got woken up at 5am coz one of the lads banged his head on the bunks, haha!
      My lad went from Manchester to Edinburgh. The journey itself is a fairly long one but he just chilled to music.
      Hope this helps. Good luck 👍🏻
      Oh, one last thing, they all finished early on last day and could make own way home if they wanted or wait for coach to take them back to train station. My lads tickets were any time travel but on the dates stipulated on ticket. There is a bus stop which accepts contactless payments and goes to train station. Think it was the number 47 but dont quote me on that. So if u finish early you may get back home early, just check for earlier train times.

      Same. I think its more mental, i just hate running and the discomfort i feel in my legs, i can go hard for about 5-6mins then tank, where as the bleep teat only lasts like 7-8 mins around level 7-8 and the first few levels are basically a warm up.

    get your squats in, its a key part of the turning and pushing off with one leg repeatedly. i'm getting level-8 at maybe 90% effort at the moment and I can feel its my thighs on the turn letting me down around level-7. sure its all in your head but your body can only go so far, get that body in shape! you'll be reet.

      Glad I won’t have to do pull ups again, I was always shit at them and the wooden beam was always too slippy.
      I’ve been looking into the changes made since then and I think it’s great. There are Some really well thought out exercises for the role fitness tests, supposedly with the help of sports scientist at some Uni.
