How hard is the Popat test?
(No, I don’t want to be a cop, but I did want to pass the test.) The POPAT is unforgiving. It has to be successfully completed in under 4:15, with my time being… exactly 4:15. But that’s okay, stick with the plan, re-group, rest 10-15 minutes, get a little sustenance in me, and do it again.
What is a good Popat time?
Aim to average 18-22 seconds per lap. An 18 sec lap will get you a 1:48 for the course; 22 sec laps will get you 2:12. You may be able to get away with 25 sec laps, but you better be confident with your strength when you reach the push/pull machine.
