Navy SEAL training begins at Naval Special Warfare Preparatory School. Here, recruits are given a crash course in the physical standards required to even attempt to become a SEAL, being required to pass a number of Physical Screening Tests (PST), including a timed 4-mile run and as many push-ups as possible in 2 minutes
4 mile run for time
As many push-ups in 2-minutes
Run 4 miles in as quick as time as possible. Walking is allowed, though the participants must be encouraged to push themselves as hard as they can.
Start and finish in the same location
To ensure that participants don't just run down a big hill to get a good time/distance, you are required to finish the run in roughly the same spot in which you started. You can achieve this by either running a looped route or by running out halfway, turning around, and returning to your starting position.
Set treadmill gradient to 2.5%
It is preferred that you tackle this challenge outside. However, if you are unable to do so, you may use a treadmill to complete the challenge. If you do decide to use a treadmill, you must set the treadmill gradient to 2.5%.
If you have purchased a Challenge Pack, you are eligible to submit your challenge evidence for review, verification and scoring. You may only submit your evidence once. All evidence is final.
Evidence Format:
e.g. Strava, Garmin, Map My Run, etc...
Before submitting, please make sure you have ready:
