30:60s...missed out 1 due to ATT B status What exactly is AGR and 30:60? -
dont tell uOriginally posted by LazerLordz:C'mon..spill the beans What exactly is AGR and 30:60?
ok lah, dont cry
agr stands for ability grp run
based on the 2.4km running times, recruits are grouped into 4 categories and made to run 4 laps of 400m(i think, either that or 4 x300m) within a given amt of time.
how much time each grp is given is based on how many points they get for 2.4km
eg
those who can attain 2+ points and abv are led by a PTI and given only 9mins ( not sure abt the times)
those who fail by 10-20secs are given slightly more time
those who fail by 2-3mins( clocking ~13mins) are given up to 11-12mins to run.
30:60 is a stamina training run(havent taken part in it as i was on att b status)
either u run for 30s then slow jog for 60s then repeat for 20-30mins... -
