PJFT training.

What speed to we have to run on the treadmill to pass PJFT?

im currently running 13 in 5 mins. Im going to try to aim for 13-16 in 5 then work my way upto 10 mins.

To pass which is to get 2.4km in lower than 10:45, you would have to run it at no slower than 14.2 i think, although some people like to push it, and run it in 9minutes and so on. As far as i am concerned i do not know if you get extra beasting or have to achieve more at PRMC depending on your PJFT time, because in the end a pass is a pass right.
Remember they are not expecting superman to get off that train at CTCRM, they do want you to give it 100% and then some though.

Get that pass mate, and maybe i'll see you at CTCRM one day, thats if i pass PRMC

just set it at 14.2 and once you can do that for 2.4km then put it up to 13 so you push yourself to improve. I really wouldnt get to worried about PJFT though, if you get yourself a basic level of fitness you'll sail through it!

14.2 i take it that is km/h. my running machine only goes up to 10 which i persume is mph. what would i need to set that at for the equivalant?

Divide 14.2 by 1.6 should give you the speed in miles I think.

[Chris Deeside]

14.2 kilometers = 8.8 miles

set it to 9

[Brian-]

Speed = Distance / Time
           = 2.4 / (10.75/60)
           = 13.4 km/h

You still have to go a tad faster to allow for the treadmill getting up to speed though.

Cool, I was worried about the PJFT.

Im not the best runner. but I think I should be able to manage 15km hour + for 8-9 mins with hard training by the end of nov.
