Well, I am 5'9 1/2" and weigh 140lbs (yeah, a lightweight...) and I hadn't run in nearly two years, then I had to do the self fitness test for my application earlier this year, I live in Ottawa and the first time I ran it, I did the 2.4kms down a gravel road on a night we were getting freezing rain, I was wearing my big work coat and boots and I managed 11 minutes 45 seconds. Four days later I had my stepdad drive me (we live in a rural area) down a more or less flat road, we used the odometer to measure 2.4kms and he just followed me back with his hazard lights flashing, this time it was being timed for the application so I wore running shoes and a lighter coat (it was -10 Celsius outside and my throat was killing me at the end...) and managed to do it in 10 minutes 10 seconds. I worked out regularly since (I do an 800 meter warm up run before I actually do any cardio, workout or sports) and the fitness test given here in Ottawa (at the YMCA near the recruitment center) was a step test. I found the step test MUCH easier than the actual run (temperature, experience, etc could have affected that) but if they pull you out because of your heart rate there's not much that you can do about it, I made it through all 4 stages and she told me I passed, but I was curious as to how they grade you for that, how do you manage a 6.0 and what is taken into account for that grading? Also, how did you guys do for the grip test? I pulled off a 109 total (left 55, right 54) which I hope is pretty good for someone my size...
