How Far Have You Got?

[druadan]

Bleep test you're doing at school will most likely be the 15m one.

[coulson42]

yeah it probably will be as we have quite a small sports hall

Hey all, I've got PRMC on the 15th September.

Pressups= 65
Situps= 70
Pullups= 12

3 miler= 20:15
5 miler= 33:30

Anyone else have these same dates by any chance?

[shifty_uk]

Press ups: 37
Sit ups: 64
pull ups: 5-6
1.5 mile: dont know
3 miles: dont know

[mr.zog]

I've got my RT on the 10th, but here is what I’m currently achieving:

1.5 Mile - 8.47
3 Mile - 19.52

Pushups - 60
Situps - 80
Pullups - 7

I do know that the 3 miler should be done in 22.5 mins but what time would anyone suggest for getting on the 3 miler prior to PRMC? just so I know what to aim for?

Many Thanks!
Chris

If you're doing it in under 20 minutes then you will be fine.

I'm not going for RM, I'm going for 29 commando RA so maybe I shouldn't be here but
1.5m Don't know. I can run at a high speed for almost an hour so i think I'll be okay. I haven't measured my running distance yet. Last time I tried on a treadmill i think i did it in about 9 min 50 but that was almost 3 months ago.
Sit-ups 80 in 2 mins easily. One of my strong points.
Press ups 35 max!! They are a sore point. I'm really dissapointingly sh*te at them.
Pull ups 12

[druadan]

My scores haven't improved at all:

1.5 mile - 9 min(ish - been a while)
3 mile - 19 min(ish again, been a while since I ran a timed 3 miler, this based on longer runs)

Press-ups - 60
Sit-ups - 60-70
Pull-ups - 8-9

That's pretty much where I peaked a month or two ago, but my sit-ups have dropped a fair bit (don't really know why?). Since then, my training has dropped a fair amount as well (explaining the lack of improvement), as I've been working far too many 12hr shifts to try and pay off as much debt as possible before entry! At least I'm pretty certain I'll beat my PRMC scores when I go down, which is the main thing.

Keep it coming then mate, great progress!

I had the same problem as you have for press ups, but with pull ups. I used two methods to overcome it:

1. Assisted exercises - for pull ups they have a machine which takes so much of your bodyweight off via a pulley system; for press-ups, I'm nor sure how effective it would be, but do them from your knees rather than toes (still keep a straight line with your body, only from knee to neck rather than heel to neck). This allows more reps as you're lifting less weight.

2. Independent working of the muscle groups: use weights to work the relevant muscle groups to improve strength and endurance.

3. A third exercise you could do is to ADD some weight to your body and do less reps.

All of that on top of your normal press up routine.

I have improved on my pull ups recently which im pleased with I need to go into Argos and get myself one of those pull up bars

[friendlyfireaintfriendly]

40 press ups in 2 mins (kinda hit a plateau at the moment
70 sit ups in 2 mins
Having trouble measuring out my running routes so 10.47 may or may not be a good time

[TomW]

I need to work on my sit ups, just need to get the technique right.
