VAMEVAL level 9
At level 9 of the VAMEVAL, the required speed is 12 km/h: 10 cones of 6 s each. The level lasts 1 min; when it ends you have covered 1 520 m in 9 min 08 s. Completing it in full credits you with a MAS of 12 km/h, roughly 36 ml/min/kg of VO₂max.
This is where entry tests are decided. At 12 km/h breathing becomes clearly audible and the turn starts to cost. The next levels are earned in training, not on the day.
The previous level, 8, was run at 11.5 km/h. The next one, 10, moves to 12.5 km/h. On this test the gap between two levels is small in speed and large in feel, because fatigue carries over from one level to the next.

Frequently asked questions
What MAS does level 9 of the VAMEVAL give?
A MAS of 12 km/h, provided you complete the level. If you stop midway, the scoring rule credits the last full level, so 11.5 km/h (level 8).
How long does level 9 last?
1 min, i.e. 10 cones of 6 s. From the start of the test that makes 9 min 08 s of running.
What pace per kilometre is this level?
12 km/h is 5:00 /km. That is the pace you would hold on a track, without the turns: in a shuttle the same figure costs more.
