I know the incline is set at level 2.

 

But anyone knows what is the speed to pass on the threadmill for Cat X, Y, Y1, Z etc...?

bro, if u are planning to take threadmill for your IPPT, i suggest you go practice on it a few times. Its very different from running on road.

 

your legs and muscles need to be used to threadmill first.

 

u can set the threadmill to run by certain duration of time, then u can see the distance that you have covered after completing it. Run a few times on it.

Thanks!

 

I am Cat Y1 but i can't find the speed.

 

But my colleague who is Cat Y just told me the speed on threadmill is set at 11.7.

 

Is this 11.7 km/hr?

Passing speed (2 points) for Cat Y is 13.00 min.

 

So if you take speed x time = 2.535 km ???

 

Am i missing something?

I think around there. The PTI there will guide u on how to run on the treadmill. During my first step on the treadmill, i found it quite difficult to adapt. PTI came along and ask me to "Land on your heels, Land on your heels!!!"... haha..

But we should run only 2.4km! and not over 2.5km

 

Unless 11.7 is not km/hr..

but i have run in other threadmills and the speed level is always km/hr

Thanks bro.

 

But passing mark for 2.4 is <13.00 min (this is for the normal IPPT).

 

Hmm... Using 11.4kph and 12:45min, you only cover 2.3655 km instead of 2.4km. Think the level 2 slope compensate for the 0.0345km.

 

(11.4/60) * 12.45min = 2.3655km.

to be safe, during your training, run on 11 or lesser.

 

dun run on exact 11.4. Be fitter, just in case, on the actual IPPT day, u may not be on top form.

it is easy, provided you are used to it.

 

i tried last year and it is easier to pass on the treadmill. aircon plus tv to keep your mind occupied helps...

 

but one need to get used to the treadmill first.. need a few round of practice cos it is diff from jogging on the track..
