Just did the PFT a few months ago. Ran a 17:14 worst time ever. I guess age is catching up with me and not training as hard , 20 dead hang pull ups and knocked out 100 crunches. Easy day. Now I am getting ready for the CFT. If I am not mistaken the PFT measures muscular endurance (crunches) and muscular strength (pull ups) and cardio endurance (3mile run).

There’s a lot of confusion going on here. Being a Sergeant and having been in the Marine Corps for 5 and a half years now, I’ll illuminate. While technically which way your palms face will change the exercise, we allow either or, a pull up or chin up, I personally do them with my palms outward. The CFT is a more accurate test on your overall physical condition. With the right training anyone can do well on a PFT, but being fit is something else, which is why the Marine Corps developed the CFT. Here’s a tip for your 3 mile run… To run well at three miles…run 6 miles.

“I would do it palms facing towards you. It’s easier that way.” Taking the easy way out is never manly.

Brad in the above post, is correct and pull up is with palms away, chin up is with palms towards you. Pull up is harder and therefore USMC standard for many decades. Since when did any Marine Corps physical test go for the easiest exercise? NEVER! DI’s of any era would deride anyone who was doing “chin ups” as a sissy…it’s easier and not the Marine Corps way. BTW, performing the USMC fitness test, which I still pass at 60, is in no way an indication of your ability to be a Marine. You have to earn it maggot!
And to Daetan Bayar Huck the above Marine Corps “officer candidate”, you are only and officer candidate and NOT A MARINE and I find it offensive that you attach this “Marine Corps Officer Candidate” to your posts all over the internet…so kindly request you stow the hubris and not let the sacred words “Semper Fidelis” pass your lips again until earn the right to utter them. Do not appropriate that which you do not own. We’ll be watching you. Count on it.

@AB01:

On gmap-pedometer, if you can see your trail from google map’s satellite view, you’re in luck. Just switch to that view, then change the “Draw Route” option on the left to “Manual.” Then just follow the trail. If your trail has lots of little twists and turns, it will be more tedious and take a little longer, but the good news is that you can always save the route to refer to later.

Thanks, trigeek3. I was looking for something just like that since I started jogging this Summer. 1.2828 miles for an easy run and 2.1827 miles for more serious nights. I can’t seem to get the program to work for trails. Just roads.
