Nice one jcap, another box ticked!!!

[Paulc83]

well done mate.
ive been told i need to reach 11 on the bleep test. im quite good at running over distance, but havent done a bleep test since school, so i dont know what to expect, Is 11 really hard to reach?

[euro_andrew]

nah mate, 11 is average. upto 12+ is hard

[Pvt Doughnut]

Did a Pti keep pace so that you knew you were on target ?

All-out 110% effort for the 1.5 miles back but the PTI ran with us for the first 1.5 mile.

They havn't changed it i don't think, it just depends on the PTI i think.

Big congrats to you JCAP3!! Nice one!
Regarding the 3 miler, a couple of lads and I actually over heard the training team on my PRMC last week discussing trialling a "new way" of doing the run....it kinda freaked us out at the time LOL because we didnt know if they wanted us to hear! But it kinda messed with us a tad Looks like you guys were the start of the trial LOL

Again, well done chap!

[GGHT]

Good effort mate, I did mine this time last year, and they did the same with us in regards to keeping us waiting in the cold.

I used to hate the 3 miler in RT as the 1.5 best effort starts on a bloody long hill.

[chak]

bloody good effort mate!

soon it'll be me!

[gjd1986]

Good job mate, get into RT soon as

[JCAP3]

Paul83: You need to make sure you get to atleast 11 or its an immediate fail. There were some lads who didn't reach it but did well on all the other exercises - still failed though

your pushups are through the roof.

I wish I could do those sorta pushup scores.

how did u train to get that many?

- Andy

[JCAP3]

Just practise, thats all - a training partner helps alot too - get him to put his hand under your chest and watch your technique for any faults.

What i have been doing is pyramids (recently, but seems to have helped):

for example you do 60 press-ups - perfect technique
2 minutes rest
50 press-ups
2 minute rest
40 press-ups

Build on that by about 3 each week.

I had 10 knocked off my sit-ups, you must touch the top of your knees with your elbows, not the sides!

Congrats mate, bet your well chuffed. You just have to wait now to start RT which is the worst bit, ive only got 3 weeks after my PRMC but its still too long!!
