Test your condition with the Cooper Test
The aim of this test is to run as far as possible in exactly 12
minutes. The distance covered will then give a rough estimate
of your condition (see table below). Try to run in a constant speed.
If you get too tired, slow down or walk for a while.
The test is not very useful to compare yourself with others. Instead,
use it to measure your own progress.
The test is only recommended for trained persons because it demands
your maximum effort.
If you are not fit, don't run the test.
