Base Test
Each runner has a unique starting point. We put you through a curated battery of tests to understand your base state and then recommend areas you need to work on to achieve your goals. Your base state does not always show a linear improvement, but that's ok. The goal is to see where you're at today, not last month, and learn how to move forwards.
​
How the Base Test Works
The fitness test consists of seven at-home exercises (demo videos below) and one 12-minute run (preferably outdoor but indoor treadmill runs are ok).
​
-
The at-home exercises will test your core endurance, holding positions of stress for as long as possible (you'll need a timer or someone who can time you). You'll also be tested on your balance and co-ordination to understand the differences between your left and right sides. We have also added a press-up test in there as well for upper body muscular endurance.
​
-
The 12-minute run will test your fitness. Using a wearable, time a 5-10 minute, ramp warm-up (starts easy and then builds to around a 7 out of 10) have a 2-3 min recovery and then run as far as you can for 12 minutes.
​
-
Allow an hour and complete all tests with about 5-10 mins recovery in between.
