What you will need to do is find a run that is 1 kilometre I would suggest an easy run something that is pretty flat. Some people suggest an oval or if you have access to a specific athletic track even better! Equipment needed will be a timer, either on your watch or a stopwatch, comfortable clothing, a good pair of runners and of course yourself!
Before the test you will need to do a little bit of a warm up maybe a 5 minute walk, or a light walk. You could even do a little house work such as vacuuming or making some beds!
Ok so once your warm set your clock and GO! Don't forget to record your result in a book with the date. I would also take the time to add weight, and measurement which I will talk more about later and why it is important to take them. I would also suggest to make other remarks such as what the weather was like how you felt and if you can possible add in what you had to eat. All these things can help when you do the test in a month as you can do similar preparation and see the differences as to how you did in comparison.
Good Luck!
Do you think I could do this on a treadmill?

DeleteThe treadmill would not give you a true indication of how fast you actually can go as it has a set speed. I know some treadmills do have a fitness test in them but I have found them to not be really that good as it doesn't push you. If you can really try to get out on the road or oval.
