Yeah it's not bad, still cramming in as much as i can before the big day! haha.
Want to get my run time down mainly, my last one was 23:10. Sit ups I'm getting over 60 and press ups my last effort was 46. I've been doing weights circuits for a while now too for my overall endurance. Just got to turn up and give it our best shot!

You've got plenty of time to shave those seconds off the run mate, just stick at it! Next time you go for a run just concentrate on running a bit quicker than usual, it doesn't have to be much, even 1 second quicker per 100 meters takes a lot off your total. Then next time try and run a bit quicker again. Just refuse to let yourself slow down. On the day we'll be in a squad anyway so it should be easier to keep pace.

I rang the AFCO the other week to be told that I am down for the intake starting 8th August, so dont hold your breath, although if you are available to start at short notice you might get a place sooner if someone decides to drop out. Anyway good luck lads, let us know how you get on :D

Short notice? I'll camp outside the guard room if they want! It's not like I have a job. haha
