Also they got a VERY detailed medical questionaire, which they go though i mean very detailed, so you would have to ...

i have been doing some 5 mile runs and though course hilly, with a fat hill at start and at end i been getting 40 mins, though i trying to get to 35mins.

wondering what the sort of running you do at start of training distance wise and what sort of times they expect, 3 miler in 21 mins?

cheers for information,

during your runs do the PTs time it all or can you wear a watch ?

just wondering sinse some times you run better when you time each section of a run.

Also are the runs mostly carried out on the PRMC route, or do they like to throw in some hills for good messure?:)

Just a quick sort of question, what sort of runs do you do during training exactly?

I know you have 3 milers ect and also have 4 mile runs in kit like baptist run, but what is the useally type of running you do and also how many times a week do you tend to run.

hi there, sorry to hear this.

Firstly i was wondering did they tell you what the name or cuase of your injury is or could be?

To be honest, the PRMC 99% running, press-ups ect are great if you can do, but it seems they looking mainly for runners.

I got shin splints which messed up my PRMC.

I find now that warm-up and warm down (the latter more important I think) and making sure they done well.

Warm-up is used too loosely I think, and you find this down at CTCRM, where you get properly warmed up :lol:

Try and warm up properly get blood ...

guys tips:

the 3 miler has a right beasting before you do it so train for this:
example: sprints, then 15 sec bust sprints static. then first half isnt realy done as 12:30 mins it more like 10:00-10:30 for you stop mid way then prepare to do last leg.

basicaly aim for 9 mins 1.5 mile both ways ...
