My strategy for IPPT gold

The new NS IPPT scheme comprising of push-up, sit-up and 2.4 km is in effect from April 2015.

I have been waiting for the new scheme to be launch since last Oct14 and I require at least 80-85 point to achieve gold. Push-up is going to be my weakest station.

2.4km running and sit-up standard are very clear,
for push-up check out this link: Standard-pushup example 

Push-up standards

1)Arms fully extended

2) Back straight

3)Arm parallel as you lower to the ground

One possible strategy is as follows:

25 push-up/minute – 13pts,  

44 Sit-up/minute – 22pts,

2.4km in 9.10 minutes – 50pts.

Sum: 85 pts

At present:

18-20 push-up/minute – 11 pts,  

35 Sit-up/minute – 19 pts,

2.4km in 10:10 minutes – 43 pts.

Sum: 73 pts which amount to a silver

I require at least 12 points more.

Hopefully in one month’s time I can improve to gold.
