hey again

[fevernova]

Been away from the forum for a while cause i failed my prmc last march and been taking it easy. Started training a few weeks ago and trying to turn it back on and aiming for a prmc in feb. i stoped training totally but i was playing a fair bit of football.

got a farly intence plan set up building up to training 10 times in 5 days then 2 matchs for my team on a sunday and sat as well as training on the wed for my team. not jumping staight into it but am sure the human body will be capiable. and this will increase my vo2 max where i lacked last time.

any feedback will be appicated no negitive unless its really important cause i know what this board is like

[ashley]

Wouldn't it be easier for people to give some feedback if they could see your plans?

I failed my PRMC in May. Having another attempt next May I am. Can't wait, but I'm pretty nervous already.

In my opinion I would bin the footy matches, to be honest I dont think the Phys benifit from it is that great and you are quite likely to injure your self, also after doing all that Phys during the week you will need some time off to let your body repair other wise you will end up run down, I tried doing two hard sessions of PT a day and after a couple of weeks I was wrecked, I changed to doing one hard session of PT a day most days and a couple of times training twice a day with swimming being my second PT session and I would have Sat and Sun of to recover, when I went back down for my second attempt at PRMC I passed with some good scores.
Remember over doing it is just as bad as not doing enough, you just have to find a happy medium.

I would keep playing footie if i was you mate. Its a excuse to train and you get some enjoyment out of playing it. Any sport makes a difference and if you try your hardest you'l be fuked after each match. I read that david beckham runs on average 8 miles a footie game.. I would stick at it and just keep training all the time. If you know what you failed on at PRMC then just train hard on that aspect of the test. Then just give it your best shot..

[W.Mitty]

I also heard David Beckham has completed the Bleep Test! Yea right. As to him running 8 miles in one game I dought it, when he spends to much time walking around worrying about his hair( when he has some) the poof.

[Gunn]

Fevernova what did you fail on?

[fevernova]

yeah, am not gonna stop playing football its great it, because i enjoy it i can just waste hours playing. football isnt that bad for you. really good for a high vo2 max cause ur always sprinting about, fittness people i know are footballers. and its a change. to be honist who really loves trashing them selfs runing, on the other hand your nackered and your one on one with a defender and its 2-2 you could be the hero. pain is the last thing on ur mind.

erm am not 100% on why i really failed i got 11.6 the week before i went down. i got there and in the gym i was deydrated and something was hurting in my back and i couldnt keep up got 9.9. they told me that i failed but i could go on. and i wanted to go in the marines for ages so i didnt wanna give in that easy but on the bottem field i just couldnt take my back any more. after the cpl was telling me to quit i got to the front for a while but then it just went and i had to quit i didnt wanna be the first to drop out, as c/sgt said once 1 goes loads go. anyway i had to get out there. as soon as i stoped i was full on energy again and it didnt feel like i was sprinting all over the place but i was psychological beaten before i did the bleep test. probs cause i started dishing my own fitness. but probs saved my self from making my back worse

I dont think i was fit enought alot of crap going thought my head. sure someone will say i cant be a marine cause when it got difficult i quit but gonna get me fittness up and try no matter what.


the plan is monday to friday: morning 3 miles, afternoon 3 miles and straight after press ups, sit ups and pullups. sat play for my football team up front and i get the chance to sprint alot and i am a starter. sunday i ussually get about 30 mins on the right wing and am constally running box to box ussally sprinting, and afternoon normally a few hrs of knockouts which i alway get to the final. also a hr of 5 a side on a wed night

at the mo that is my training scheme - the afternoon runs, which i will be adding as my fittness incresses

[fevernova]

oh and about the football i hear that D beckham can max the bleep test and goes alot higher than lvl 13

[Gunn]

Yeah with 9.9 on the bleep test you would have found bottom field hard, you would have found the run really difficult to, the military bleep test is faster than the normal ones you do at school and ones in civi street. Shame you dropped on bottom field, did you go on the warm up or the assualt course?

[fevernova]

very end of the warm up i think, yeah am sure i was better than 9.9 it didnt seem that much diffrent to usual, well i wanna be 4x fitter aleast when i go down again

[Gunn]

Nasty! a dude on my PRMC dropped out at the end of the warm up, the cpl asked if anyone wanted to drop out now and a dude put his hand up and said that he thaught he was keeping the rest of the group behind, then the corporal said right lads get your water bottles, so the guy thaught he could sneak back into the group now it was over but the cpl wasnt having any of it! I went on the run, picked up an injury on the assualt course, made the run 1000 times harder than it should have been for me, lifes a bitch eh.

Good luck on that, i give you a week before you injure yourself. There are no rest days and you are training way to much. To be honest you said you want to get fitter, then you will only be making your fitness worse. By causing yourself an injury you won't be able to train thus having no benefit. Fitness takes time not days so i would suggest running 3 times a week aerobic and a anaerobic session a week, maybe one of them runs can be a session on the old push bike or a swim so you are not over training your legs. So thats 4 sessions and 2 football matches which sounds too much as well, maybe drop a run or a football match. You will see more improvement if you alow you muscles time to recover, because after all its the recovery that makes your muscles heal and get bigger.

Good luck

[W.Mitty]

I agree that training programme will not give you the porper bennifit, you will end up injured.
Try and vary your training by doing swimming or cycling, also do some hill sprints to make the assult course easier, also do a proper upper body session a couple of times a week.
If you dont vary your programme and do the same thing everyday you are making it harder for yourself in the long run.

[toffee]

the above way is probably the best way to get your fitness back up to scratch, i did something along those lines and went up to the prmc and passed on my first try with some good scores.
just remember to have at least two days rest a week (mine was on a wednesday and sunday) so your body can recover.
cheers toffee

Roll on 29th november (starting basic)

[fevernova]

thanks for the tips, aleast someones tryed it and thinks its ok. think i might miss wed and take it easy , just stand next to the goal and wack them in. and drop the proper match on sunday but still have a kick about on the afternoon, sometimes it does go on for a few hrs but its not intence.

so gonna keep it like that and add an a 2nd session one by one in a week weeks
