IIRC the 'measurement' is taken throughout the last 400 yards in the RAF test. I will find out soon enough
Why they cannot simply put a fiqure on a 1.5 mile flat surface run I will never know. That they expose themselves to (distance) objective achieved but test failed do to heart rate is bizarre, especially when apparently a single cup of coffee is known to put performance in jeapody.
I can recall a pre-CSRO course phys test. Several laps of a football pitch within 15 mins. Job done, happy days and who gives a sh** if I am hanging out of my ar*e afterwards. Surely the unfortunate death of Chris Moran is testimony to the fact that an active sportsman is not immune to a premature death.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Christopher Moran, 54, is believed to have suffered heart failure while completing the running stage of the event at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
