Instructions

  • 1km Negative Splits

    The test is inspired by Norway's highest level of special forces test. You must run 1km and finish it in 9 minutes or less. After that, you have to run another km but this time it must be done in 30 seconds less than the first one. Each time you do a km, the time limit gets shorter. The challenge ends when you either reach 10 splits or failure. 

    Points are awarded for the number of successful splits completed. Bonus points are awarded for load-carried and elevation gain achieved.
