Format:
- A 10 Week Programme consisting of multiple tests measuring key elements of physical fitness – Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Endurance, Strength, Power, Flexibility, Balance, Speed and Agility.
- Instruction for each test will be sent to you on email the week prior to Test start.
- You have from 00:00 Monday to 23:59 Sunday to complete each week’s Test/Tests.
- Your data must be entered into the Results Sheet with associated evidence emailed to dunc@eliteoutdoorfitness.com by 23:59 Sunday each week.
- The Programme is split into 3 phases. You must complete Phase 1 before being able to move onto Phase 2 and you must complete Phase 2 before moving onto Phase 3. Any missed tests from Phase 1 must be completed during the first spare week (Week 4), Any missed tests from Phase 2 must be completed during the second spare week (Week 8), failure to do so will result in an automatic fail and removal from the programme.
- Each Tier each test has an associated pass time for each category set by EOF. Pass times are withheld from participants.
- Participants must undertake all 10 tests, only 2 tests can be failed within each tier in order to pass. You will not be told whether you have passed your Tier until the end of programme. On completion of the programme each successful participant will be awarded a coloured EOF patch associated with that tier.
- The results table will work on a points basis, points are awarded for your placing on each test. For example, if you come 1st then you receive one point for that Test, if you come 20th then you receive 20 points. The lowest number of points accumulated over the programme will be champion within each Tier.
