I've read on www.fireservice.co.uk that the 12 min run then doing the equation is a way of working out my VO2 Max. How accurate is this method? Anyone help here?

Hi guys, This will sound really bone but what the heck is the step test?
I am going through the west mids recruitment and have a medical coming up.
When I looked on the website I assumed the test was some specialised piece of equipment that I shouldnt worry about.
But now it seems that it is something I could test myself on at home, is this right?
If so how do I do the test?
My fitness is generally good and Im not too worried but Id like to know for sure.
I have a month to go and Im still working on phys, lots of skipping, burpees, lunges, pullups, pressups and crunches.
I have let my running go a bit but have a fair base and can hit 12 ish on a beep test, and do 3miles in about 22mins quite comfortably.
Does anyone know if this sounds ok or should I hit the streets again?

I appreciate any advice.

I would not worry yourself with the step test and from what you stated, your current levels would appear to be fine, check out the covox test as i am fairly sure this is how you will be tested for West Mids mate

http://www.covox.com or for the step test http://www.topendsports.com/testing/tests/chester.htm

Cheers

Mark
