New York State Police Physical Ability Test 1.5 Mile run

[@Chill_Deen]

I just passed my pt/written test!!! Some of the officers were getting annoyed due to so many of the recruits puking all over the track.

[@Chill_Deen]

@mage4086 I’m late af but yeah I stepped in it. The worst part is the fact it was an indoor track and it smelled terrible. I couldn’t focus on it though I just had to keep running.

[@infiniteCK]

@@Chill_Deenwhat time did you need to pass and how many laps around the track?

[@Chill_Deen]

@@infiniteCK we had to run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes so 18 laps for our track I did it in 12:13

[@infiniteCK]

@@Chill_Deen 18 laps around a whole track field Jesus

[@Chill_Deen]

@@infiniteCK nahhhh it’s not what you think it was a smaller track so the 18 laps still equal 1.5 miles. Honestly a shorter track really helped me mentally

[@jasonpatel6562]

Bro was not running along side, he was lapping that other person.

[@jeffreystorer4966]

I'm not very fit but I'd just bolt at the start , with 25 police behind me running ,new track record coming right up , LoL

[@Chill_Deen]

I definitely wouldn’t bolt. You got 6 laps and if you gas yourself out at the first lap you’re done for.

[@stopit9280]

Mine is coming up. This is what I'm most afraid of since I'm young and thus have the lower time requirement. Especially not being on a treadmill or having a way to gauge the time or distance well, I'm afraid my pacing will fall off.

How did you do? I am taking the entrance exam

[@stopit9280]

@@AiiMX I didn't hear anything back yet. I don't think written test results were sent back yet.

@@stopit9280 after how long of taking the entrance exam they call you to physical?

@@AiiMX I'm not sure. I did not hear anything back as of yet. A police officer told me last week that results should be sent out soon probably.

It doesn't say anything about 11:58 ... this is crazy

[@J-tu2pb]

11:58 for a mile and a half isn’t that crazy. Basically a 7:20 minute mile pace to get to 11:00 for the mile and a half which isn’t that crazy. Even if you are out of shape and can’t do it just start jogging 4-5 times a week and keep at it.

[@pizzaparty-r1c]

@@J-tu2pb No. 11:58 is crazy. You literally have to run every day to maintain such a pace. This is a full out fuking sprint, not a run.

[@J-tu2pb]

@@pizzaparty-r1c well there is really no other way to put it other than that is the requirement that they have and we must pass it if we want to become troopers. If you don’t run every day I would start running every day because in the academy they run every day and at the end they want you to be at 70% of the cooper standards which is a mile and a half in 10:58 for males ages 20-29.

[@pizzaparty-r1c]

@@J-tu2pb You don't get it. After the academy, cops gain 50lbs and can barely run 1000ft. Why even have a PT requirement just for training.

[@J-tu2pb]

@@pizzaparty-r1c I get what you mean. All I’m saying is that it is what it is. Us complaining about it isn’t going to change anything. I’m with you I find it ridiculous that they don’t have some sort of fitness standards for their current employees.

[@bluegrey3082]

Is quarter mile able to be passed in 2 mins????? Serious question

[@ballplaya96x67]

Why the hell does it have to be completed so fast?

[@M4khi]

Because they are training idk

[@Htxracing97]

A lot of the requirements are dumb cause they don’t even keep this physical fitness shit up after the academy. Atleast when I was In the army we worked out everyday most cops are out of shape.

[@ballplaya96x67]

@@Htxracing97 seems a bit extreme to me. They have 11:58 to complete a mile and a half. I mean they aren’t training to become Olympic runners, they signed up to be police officers. I get that you should be in shape, but give me a break with that run time. Has to be completed way too fast.

[@jonahh4075]

@@ballplaya96x67 that’s not too bad

[@ballplaya96x67]

@@jonahh4075 seems like it a little too much especially it being a pre-academy requirement.

In what time do I need to finish the 1.5 mile run ?

[@bjaek]

11:58

[@angeljoel10able]

What under 12 minutes 😳

[@bjaek]

@@angeljoel10able that was my time for NY state trooper my local departments were 12:34

[@WilhelmMuller88]

@@bjaekDamn man, we get 15 minutes down here in Alabama. We got it easy 22 push-ups in 90 seconds, 22 sit-ups in 90 seconds, 1.5 mile run in 15 minutes or less, push a crown vic 15 feet, pull a 165Lb dummy 15 feet, hop over a fence, go through a window, and last but not least walk across a 12 foot long beam. We got it stupid easy down here.

[@Chill_Deen]

@@WilhelmMuller88that’s because your area is in higher demand for police officers. I live in Springfield and the 1.5 mile run is 15 minutes here as well. Due to the bad stigma on officers nowadays and they desperately need more. They even upped the pay. So I’m training for the exam as of rn.

[@Bailey-k2j]

Such an unfair test. Someone with low body weight will run faster. Someone that is tall (long legs = long strides) will run faster. I got lapped by a skinny guy that could barely do 10 pushups. I did 50 pushups and 45 situps. I could man handle most cops. The run test is moot. Fights don't last more than 60 seconds.

[@Officialprodbytreybeats]

I have my test, August 15th. I cant get my 1.5 mile time down to 15min Closest I got was 17 min. I train every day on the treadmil push myself. F*ck man!

[@2deboss]

How did it go?

[@Officialprodbytreybeats]

@@2deboss Failed. I knew I wasn't going to pass two of the tests. I wanted to see where I was in relation to the assessments and the other people trying out. Learned a lot.

[@2deboss]

@@Officialprodbytreybeats shit I think ima fail mine too. Got mine on the 19th for 1.5 in 14 min. I got everything else down but this. We’ll see how it goes

[@Officialprodbytreybeats]

@2deboss Either way, I believe you will feel accomplished no matter the result. What truly wrecked my cardio was the drag and carry, a sled pull activity with variants in there. I won't lie. On the 2nd lap of the mile, I almost self selected and quit. I wouldn't have ever forgiven myself, so I pushed on. You learn a lot, see the competition, and realize that the markers that are set for us are the MINIMUM standard. Long slow jogs like 3miles plus, strategic HIIT, solid core elements of strength training, and some good hiking and stretching will get you ready for it all.

[@MaskOfCinder]

I just passed my test under 15 minutes for 1.5 miles. You have to practice outside on some type of trail or path outside, preferably one with a slight hill at some point. I practiced on a circular walking trail that had a hill. Measure the distance with a smart watch and keep running that track until you can do 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. Train for speed one day and train for endurance the other day. Speed training you should be doing laps as fast as you can without stopping. For endurance you should run at a slower pace but longer than 1.5 miles. Both of those exercises will increase your speed when doing the actual test.

[@joeybelanger2471]

Passed it all but then I puked and was disqualified 💀. I suppose I need more training

[@olegandrushchenko1082]

Is that really a thing? Disqualifying for puking?

this was one of the most sloppiest run i have ever seen 😂 im 37 and i passed my chip with my run being 13.12 and my age group is 1538 for 40 % i surpassed that
