The Cooper test is a test of physical fitness. It was designed by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968 for US military use.^[1][2] In the original form, the point of the test is to run as far as possible within 12 minutes. The test is meant to measure the condition of the person taking it and therefore it is supposed to be run at a steady pace instead of sprints and fast running.

Our intrepid coach, Stephan Teeling Lynch, wanted this posted for those interested in testing their run times.
