As you arent sporty, you havent got an condition. I'd say, ask yourself if you really want this, put other things aside to achive it, and put everything in it you got. Mostly doing sports as a career, it means you have to stay fit untill your retire. If you arent that sporty, is this where you want to start ?

Im sure there are more people with allot more knowledge about building up muscles and getting a fit and nice condition to achieve what you want. All I would like to say to you is that it isn't the threadmill wich is going to make your way towards your goal. Working out on a threadmill is a handy solution if the weather isnt that great. I know threadmills nowadays can put up in hights and all other features. However, you need to train on actual grounds, difirent grounds, work on speed and strength to be able to endure and keep up the pace. The actual pace you have to have during the test will be 13.1 kmh average. You could keep up that pace, but maybe not the whole 2.4 km. In the test it will be having a few parts where you start great, have a great feeling because you have trained towards this, then you seem to keep up the pace, after this its gets harder and the end will be near, once you pulled everything you got you will be nearly there to achieve your goal, your motivation needs to be mentaly raised in order to stay on that pace.

Your body and diet.
This part of what I know is totally personal. Everyone is difirent, everyone has another type and pace of muscle/condition growth. Herefore you need professional help.

It sounds like im guiding you through a marathon. Im actually simply telling you the basics you need to perform a condition like that, and ofcourse, keep it like that. This will probally not be the only test you will get, there will be more for sure. Seek around for others who are willing to the same or have done the same in the past, see what the requirements are, keep it simple, share your thoughts with your parents or those who take care for you. This just to help out and have a good sight on what you are doing and with some other choises. You have probally allready thought through what you want with you life and why, keep in mind that how ever you plan your road, sometimes obsticals can ruin your route and you have to either turn around or chose another path.

Your now 15, nearly 16. You can start, but dont get suprised when they will tell you to wait untill your fully grown ( 18 ) Thats how it works in the netherlands atleast.

It's up to you what to do with this information. I'd be intrested as soon as you've done that test, what your results will be, how your progress was towards your goal and how you feel at that moment when youve reached what you wanted.


Personally, for my size and weight, I could run quite quickly and keep a nice pace (12 min running as far as I can, 2.3km) With a weekly once or twice in the week running condition. This test will be reacheble, the rest is mentioned for the rest of your career.
I'll see..
