I believe it is 2.4km on the treadmill with a specific time limit. The object us to meet that limit so I would expect the machine is set to a speed that will avoid the candidate from over achieving and exhausting themselves on the run.
Weather is not a factor and the test is truly identical for all.
I understand that the test is now contracted out and would guess that not all testing centres could conduct a bleep test.
