The 1.
5 Mile Run Test
How Fit am I?
Cardiovascular fitness, simply put is the capability to sustain prolonged exercise. Here's one
simple test of ‘fitness’. Another test you can use is the 12-minute run test?
The 1.5 Mile Fitness Test
Make sure you’re warmed-up and of course clinically clear to exercise.
What to do?
• Find a running track or space that enables you to run for 1.5 miles without stopping and which
enables you have distance markers.
• If you’re struggling to find a track or space then the treadmill might be the next best alternative.
Make sure you set the machine to a 1% incline to better simulate outdoor running.
• Start the watch and off you go!
You can run, jog, walk or do all three, just make sure you get to the end
• Record how long it took you to complete the 1.5 mile distance.
