The link abouve is to a recent fitness post, good tips for cardio, it's not about runing its about how long and how fast you are.. so get the cardio right the feet will follow.

There are a fiew girls in here i think.

Lol beat me to it Josh, i was about to post the same link. Best thing to do is not think about it but just go out and do it, only way you can pass. Theres a good book by Adrian Weale called fighting fit the sas training fitness guide, good book full of tips. Eating healthy has its part in running also, keep hydrated and get some protein down you. Try a tin of tuna a day, full of protein.

It all depends when the Vets intake is, im going to ITC training Catterick in january, i think you should push hard for january incase you go, if you don't that means you will be more than fit for the VC
