Ah right, well id say get down ASAP so good luck when you go . Keep us updated on how it goes.

Will do mate, will do, hopefully have some news over the next 24 to 48 hrs, if theres still no answer then im gonna have to tactfully and respectfully shove a f***in rocket up the AFCO's ring............if you know what i mean.
Will keep everyone posted on my app process.

Just to let those who are interested know, mile n half time reduced from 14m 20s to 11m 59s in 3 days, now i know that time still aint nowhere near good enough but im getting somewhere, hoping to be sub 10 mins by next weekend !!!!
Quietly pleased with my progress so far, still no dates as yet but hopefully my AFCO will find time to answer the phone over the next few days !!!!!!!!
Will keep the info coming as and when i get it lads.

Some of you are gonna think im a bit on the nutty side but my other half was at work today and i needed to do my mile n half training again so i took my 12 month old daughter with me !!!!!! in her pram !!!!!! f****n hell fire, i was a minute and a half slower than yesterday, did it in 13 mins with the pram!!!! but i dont think thats to bad considering my obvious disadvantage !!!!!, people were looking at me like i was a right t**t but training done and now i can have a beer !!!!!
On the serious side though.........i got so much work to do to get my time sub 10mins...........bloody hell fire i'll do it though !!!!!!
I find that i am posting far to much but my family and friends are getting tired of me talking about the Royal Marines, so heres where i share my thoughts................without boring the crap out of people (hopefully!!!!!).

You sound like you're off your feckin head !

My best advice for improving your 1.5 mile is to run longer distances eg. 3 mile plus. Will make your 1.5 feel a lot easier.

Good luck, they probably thought you had abducted that kid !

I may be wrong sniffpipes but I think I went through the same thing as you with your progress. Once I did 9 minutes per mile, next day I did about 8 minutes per mile. You think to your self if I am progressing this quick, imagine how fast I will be in a month. But don't be suprised if you start to average out soon and you only manage to knock off a few seconds from your last run. I just don't want it to hit you if you didn't already know.

Now your talking, being crazy is so stress-releaving. I once went out running with my friend in just boxers and trainers. What was the responce when you told her your 12 month daughter had gone out running with you.

With regards to my progress, my times are improving fairly fast and i appreciate that sooner or later my times will average out but im just trying to get my times down as fast as possible at the moment by pushin myself as hard as i can, once theyre down i will push even harder to keep em down !!!!!!
As far as running 3 milers to make the 1.5 easier is concerned........i will take that advice as its advice ive had 2 or 3 times now and as soon as i feel ready to do a 3 miler i will, and once ive done it i will continue to do it daily until my mile and a half becomes sub 10mins.
And then i will concentrate on getting my 3 mile time down too !!!!
Thats my plan anyway...........if anyone has a better idea then please come forward as im open to all advice(its more than welcome and much appreciated).
Erm........yeah.........the thought that people may think id nicked someones baby did cross my mind and most likely resulted in me putting on my shifty face, and looking even more of a t**t.
Oh yeah.......when my missus got home from work tonight and i told her about the run..........she very nearly p****d her pants (i shouldve taken a video, i really did look ridiculous)
Anyway.....alls well that ends well, i got my training in and my little un got 13 minutes in the sun and alot of flies in her face( arms and legs all over the place during the run...........but i think she enjoyed it !!!!!)
Something to tell her when she gets older !!!!

Lets hope you are in the marines when you tell her .

Don't feed the trolls lads.

Surely you jest. Don't quite see these numbers and distances adding up.
