Errr not sure if I agree with the Docs prognosis there, Heart mumurs are common under stress and not to worry??

Get a second opinion there mate.

[podder]

in my raf medical i got diagonesed with a heart murmur n was told by the doc to go back to my GP and get a EchoCardioScan. They said i cannot pass untill i have shown them the scan either....

[harry]

blimey, hope the scan comes up clean.

medicals can reveal things wrong with you that you don't/wouldn't think about, that is what i'm mostly nervous about


just a quick question on training, is it advisable to rest before a couple of days before the fitness test, or should i train like a bitch right up untill that day?

thanks,

Harry

[Doc]

use it as a training session and fit it in with your weekly plans

red bull is actually illegal in France due to the high levels of caffeine in it!

I drink at least 8 cans a day, sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode. I think I`m addicted, I read in a red top, Gazza drinks a case a day! hehehehe Anyone else and Id say dont believe the papers, but with Gazza....you never know...

PS. I work upto 60 hours a week, I need them!

[Doc]

Bloody hell!

[Mince]

You'd need to work 60hrs a week just to afford that many cans of it, you lunatic.

[harry]

wow, thats almost as bad as a mate of mine who downed a bottle of trucker 'pep' pills for a dare

[Powder monkey]

Try lucozade.

Didn't a bunch of kids in Sweden die from drinking heaps of Red Bull? Although I think that was in conjuction with ecstacy....

[harry]

probably a scare story, or urban myth.
too much of anything will kill you.


(too much sunny d turns you orange, apparantly)

[Chappy]

All the caffine messes with your pancreas supposedly. Yeah some kids in Sweden had it with vodka and dehydrated and got adult shock syndrome.

I get them free because of where I work, maybe thats half the problem.

Today is my first day clean from them!! hehe I`m on Purdeys multivitamin fruit drinks now.

[Mince]

wow, thats almost as bad as a mate of mine who downed a bottle of trucker 'pep' pills for a dare

Was his name Homer Simpson?

[Jagger]

Was his name Homer Simpson?

At least Homer had the initiative to down a bottle of sleeping pills right after to negate the effect!!

i've been training for the PLFT for a couple of weeks now, and I can feel some improvement.(far more comfortable, less out of breath at te end etc.), the funny thing is though, my times aren't really getting better. They are all within the limits for the PJFT, but i would have to gun it hard to get within the training times. Maybe just some more traing over time will help this

i'm a bit confused at Raleigh, I have not been given any gumf on it (although I doubt the stuff the careers lot give is of much help.
Are you there 24/7 for the whole 8/10 weeks, or do you get the weekends off to go home?
