Most people get this completely wrong

If you've never trained for a fitness test before, it's easy to waste weeks doing the wrong things.

I've been running 1.5 miles flat out every session and my time just isn't improving
I don't know how many times a week I should be running or how hard to push
My test is coming up and I have no idea if what I'm doing is working
I haven't run much before — I don't even know where to start

→ That's exactly what AceTheTest was built to fix.

Dominique de Rooij
Accredited Running Coach

Level 2 certified Coaching since 2006 best-running-tips.com

If you haven't come across my name on this website before — I'm Dom. I'm a Level 2 accredited running coach and I've been running and coaching runners since 2006.

Through best-running-tips.com I've helped thousands of runners achieve their goals — from complete beginners to military candidates to marathon runners.

I'm not an elite runner. Never have been. What I am is someone who understands what it takes for normal, everyday people — most of them non-runners — to get fit and hit a specific target. Without wasted effort. Without overtraining. Without generic programs that ignore your actual situation.

I know what works. And I've put everything I know into AceTheTest.

What runners say

Real results from real candidates

I did it!!! Even had time to spare at the end. Completed the 1.5 miles well in time and felt comfortable throughout. Thanks so much for your support over the last two months. It's been a journey. Could not have done it without you!!!

James, Ohio — military fitness test candidate

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Even with the worst weather conditions to date I was able to record my best time of the training period!
