Fitness test 2.4k in 10.45min
Hi
I am joining as a mine clearance diver so my PJFT time is 10.45min instaed of the usual 12.?? min
I am writing this to ask if any knows what kind of foods I should be eating prior to the PJFT.
I was running the 2.4k in about 13.30 min and I've done the test once and but got it down to less than 9min at the test until the last 200m when I went dizzy and the test was stopped
( then again proberbly better than flying off the end of the tread mill and landing in a big heap )
Any help would be appreciated

dont read into to much mate just get on the macine and run! the minimum speed is 14.2 km/h i think so just set it to 15 and you cant go wrong,
As for foods dont eat to near the test as youll be sick and not to long before, as like the last time you may go dizzy.
try a bannana about half 3/4 an hour before and some pasta in the morning and night before.

Is this something that happens regularly? (e.g. dizziness) If so talk to your Dr and take some medical advice.
As the other poster was saying, I don't know if you eat a lot of sweets, or choccie, but if you do cut down on these and go for some longer laster (complex) carbohydrate meals such as pasta, rice, banannas, because if you eat too much sugary things they can burn up very quickly - hence your sudden loss of strenght and light headedness.
What you can do is to take an isotonic type drink with you to top up your system before and after the test, as we have said before hyrdration is vital, and I don't mean with beer or cola!

To achieve a time of 10.20 you would need to be running at 14kph, given the treadmill starts off slow then reaches its selected speed,
which takes between 15-20 secs, this speed gives 25 seconds to play with.
Hope this helps...
