Are you fit enough to join the Royal Marines?

Are you fit enough to join the Royal Marines?
Ever dreamed of night-time boat assaults on an enemy beach? See if you could pass the Royal Marines entrance fitness test.

The basic test is:
- do a 1.5 mile run in under 12.5mins
- 1 minute rest
- do a second 1.5 mile run in under 10.5mins

Then a gym test:
- press-ups in 2 mins (min target: 60)
- 2 mins rest
- sit-ups in 2 mins (min target: 80)
- 2 mins rest
- as many pull-ups as you can do without letting go (min target: 6)

There's also a bleep test and assault course, but we'll let you feeble civilians off for now.

Any score greater than 0 - congratulations, expect a call from the Marines any moment now.

Less than 0 - well, your score says it all! Work hard, work fast, work-out!

Take the challenge now at konkura

Prove it

The Royal Marines have lower PT standards than the American Marines from what you posted.
I used to workout with the American Marines for years.

several years ago when i was endurance running yes. I was doing 5K's in under 18 minutes. 1 milers under 5 min, and 400 meters in the 40's... pullups me and a former marine would do pullups after our 6 mile runs.. he would rip off 50 pullups in one shot.. i would get close to 30 in a row.. also i could dunk on a 9 foot rim at only 5 6..

today with the amount of mass I have no way. I weigh 40-50 pounds more as a bodybuilder. totally different lifestyle... my miles are more in the 8-9 min range and i couldn't dunk on a 7 foot rim probably lol

thats not a marine entry test, its the seal qualification test. However, thats just the test to get a pair of boondockers on the island. Once there you quickly learn that the initial physical fitness test was nothing. lol. Hard for me to believe how distant I am from the conditioning I was in back then. I plan on doing this test this summer, with one of my shooters I have kept close with.
