Well done Dalo mate knew you'd pass.
Sorry to be a drag mate but any chance of putting up what you were doing fitness wise in the weeks before PRMC?
Cheers.

LOL! Nice one!!
Also, it probably gives them a chance to see how confident you are too. I had the same thing in a job interview and that was the reason why apparently (to see how confident I was).

If hes one of the people who failed then he would say that, but i think dalo said already that about 15-20 failed the corse so around 30 passed.

Before PRMC i was going to atheltics 4 times a week, running another 2 days by myself, and doing circuits maybe 3-5 times a week but the circuits werent too intense. Yeh this PRMC was supposedly full, there were around 47 on the course and about 25 passed.

Cheers mate, I ain't too far off the mark.
Due to PJFT soon putting more emphasis on the runs now as opposed to circuits all the time, get the mileage up and sharpen with speedwork.

Yeh PRMC is really focused on CV fitness, apart from the excercises in gym test 1 which is mostly CV work anyway you only do press ups etc on bottom field and the warm ups before excercises.

Hey Dalo,
It felt good getting back into my own bed on friday. I bloody hated the beds in our dorm a loverly hard lumpy matrice and a sqeak every time you moved an inch
. I don't know about you but i was still nakered monday morning, had to laff about all the sore spots I had though especially the blisters
How was your flight back I'd bet you got back home quicker than me! took me around 5 and a half hours to get back! damm public transport!!

Yeh it was good to meet you to, it was a bit of a coincidence that we were in the same room opposite bunks from one another. I went to see the AFCO as soon as i got off the train, he already knew that I had passed CTC faxed down everyones results when we left. He's applied for a date around January for me so I've just got to play the waiting game. Have you sorted anything out at all? I'm quite looking forward to beginning training now (if a little anxious) just want to get stuck in & get foundation out of the way! Can't wait to try a cheeky wednesday

I think i am going to go for the 9th of January starting date. I guess that justs means more time to get prepared for CTC, but im not that bothered about the wait. What date in January are you thinking of taking?
Yeh cheeky wednesdays sounded fun
