Well each run is 25m so work out how many runs are in each level. I how ever do not know the answer to how many runs there are in each level. How ever I have created the path to your answer.

The lines are 20meters apart, each level i believe consists of 10 straights.
Your looking at a total distance for level 13 of 2600 meters

I thought it was 20m also. I suppose it depends on what bleep test you're using. If it's designed for a 20m track, use a 20m long track, and vise versa for 25m.

I'm pretty sure that the Bleep Test is the same for everyone. It does not matter if your joining the Navy, Army, RAF, Police, Fire Brigade or your a professional athlete the Bleep Test is the Bleep Test.

No there not the same one is 20m and the other is 25m. The police one is 20m and i am deffinatly sure that the RM bleep test is 25m. Because i have done both of them. On the first level of the 20m test your able to walk it very easily unlike the 25m one where it is a slightly quicker walk.

I also thought it was 20 meters.

Though I could be wrong as i have not been to CTC yet, but the Green Bible does say "After a thorough warm-up, you will be tested on your aerobic fitness by undertaking the VO2 Max bleep test (20 meter shuttle run)."

Now i've just done some research and i admitt i was completely wrong. The RM bleep test seemed alot longer than the Police one because the Police one is 15m. So i apologise, i was wrong.

I can remember afew months ago at work we all lined up in the gym to do the Bleep Test just to see how we were.
We were all standing there looking at the two turn points thinking that looks abit bloody far, but hey the PTI knows what he's doing.
Well the first lad must of dropped out at about level 7 and the fit lads did'nt get passed level 10 when they normally get to at least 14.
Alot of people were disapointed with there score intill the PTI held up his hands and admitted he had made a mistake and the distance was actally 25m.

I think you'll find a lot of the stuff you're asked to do ain't particularly nice. Quit moaning and get on with it.

Well if you dont like the sounds of that. Wait till your all showering next to you. If you ask me, it sounds like you aint the type cut out to be a RM if your complaining about anouther blokes sweat.
