how is the run evaluation constructed?

how is the run evaluation constructed, around a track or out in the open?

If you're referring to the PT test, neither.  It will either be the Step Test (for Res F) or the CF ExPres Test (Reg F) which involves the 20 m shuttle run, usually done in a gym.

Look in this sub-forum:  Physical Training & Standards

You run between 2 cones that are 20 meters appart, it stars pretty slow and gets faster. You have to touch the line on the beep sound played through stereo. Beeps get faster as you increase in stage. Stages go up every half point. Such as .5,1,1.5 etc.. Hope that helps! Some people loose a lot of time on the pivot at the cone where they do a 180 degree turn and run back. That is somethig to practice for sure... Make sure you pivot correctly without slowig down too much...

20 mins apart?

That has to be the worst explanation of the 20 MSR I've ever seen.

Try this link, look for page 21, "20 MSR Protocol".

I meant meters, it is now corrected...

You run between cones 20m apart, trying to beat the "beep" which increases in speed ever 30 sec.

You run between cones 20m apart, trying to beat the "beep" which increases in speed ever 30 sec.

The "beep" does not increase in speed every 30 sec.  The "beep" sounds in an ever decreasing amount of time.  That means that the only change in speed is that of the runner.

Correct.

I think that's the problem - he read MasterInstructor's post, hence his confusion.  ;D

ArmedITSupport, if you looked at the link I posted for the Expres Operations Manual, you'd have found this:

Groups of members will perform the test together, shuttling (running) back and forth across the course. A 20 MSR compact disc and a CD player are used to provide the proper cadence. The evaluation starts at a walk-jog pace of 8.5 km/hr and increases 0.5 km/hr for each one-minute stage. The maximum length of the test is 20 minutes. However, on average, most male members will complete 8-10 minutes of shuttling while most female members will complete 6-8 minutes of shuttling.
