In theory yes mate, I'm assuming that you can do your press ups etc within a reasonable time! Most people can do 47 press ups if you give them long enough!

Don't worry too much about it though, The Depot will get you fit. As I say to all the wannabe Paras on here, you're not meant to be the finished article when you start so don't flap too much about it. Also fitness is NOT everything, any f*cker can get fit, it's your mental strength that will get you through.

By the way mate, keep a grip on your spelling and grammar on this forum. We're not really fans of text speak, you'll just get moaned at

Troop ???? that should be Platoon.

And too give a rough guide too the sort of times joe are running here. I took one of the platoons out this morning for a 5 mile run in 36 mins which included a a bit stretching so looking at 33 - 34, mins plus the first 2 miles was into a hideous wind.

thanks that will give me a time to aspire to in my last couple of runs.
