Re: ADSC Discussions

congrats on your new run time.....

When you go to basic training, one of the first things you do is 2min max sit-ups nd press-ups followed by a 1.5mile run, think it is basically to give the insrtuctors an idea of what level of fitness you are at....

the more training you do the better
