Alright AND1. Welcome to the site. over the past few months that I've been training my fitness has improved greatly. I've gone from 15 and a 1/2 stone couch potato down to 11 and a 1/4 stone . When I first started training my 1.5 mile was just under 13mins, haha. Now its 8.07, 3 miler 18 mins, pressups 63 from 20, pullups 12 from 2, situps 75 (cant remember how many when I started). Also bleep test score in school was around 8 (was a while ago), new PB is 13.4. I,ve kept my training regime simple, 2 days on one day off.

4x4milers/week
1x6.5miler/week
sets of 40 pressups throughout the day
sets of 60 situps throuout the day
few sets of max pullups
try to go swimming when I can aswell but unfortunately this is not often.

I'd like to thank MF&T and its members for all the help and inspiration over the past few months because without it I dont think I'd have gotten the results I have, and for all the invaluable info leading upto PRMC. Cheers guys and gal (Flo)

Anyway enough of my rambling on im off for a pint and a game of pool.

Strange, having done 5 x 1k recently with sandam, what were the times like for that mate? Not as good as we would have liked, eh?

Sorry foxtrot, I don't quite understand, are you saying you have been soing 5 x 1km?

If so, do you find this usefull?

I'm struggling with my 3 mile time and I don't know whether to do some half mile/1k splits or long runs, like 6mile+ ??
