Briggfoot - well I'm no podiatrist so can't really advise. But the Podiatrist I saw was based in a running store, and they offered the trainer fitting for free. They pop you on a tredmil and watch your foot strike (barefoot) in slow motion. Then they advise what sort of shoe would be good for you. I...

Alright, Just to reiterate, with any sort of running problem go see a Podiatrist and get a running analysis done. Then get a shoe sorted out for you. Try not to reply on just a physio, see a dedicated running person if possible. And also cross train. I can't say enough how valuable this is. You can'...

Insoles will help with your foot stike but also most problems like this are caused by muscle inbalnces in your lower limbs. I have an ankle problem which is apparently linked to muscles in my entire leg including the hip! Anyway, by all means use the insoles but also work into your training some com...

Pendo, Check out this link for a police forum http://www.police-recruitment.com/one2/forum/index.php Also, I have a mate who's in the Police and he's going for Firearms at the moment. He told me that the Firearms people don't tend to like forces backgroud applicants. This of course doesn't mean you'...

For everyone going on the weekend good luck lads! Just keeping thinking, it's less than 48 hours, and above all enjoy it

Spetz, I thought I'd post my reply here as I did the weekend a couple of years ago and the format may have changed a bit since then, so the others can chip in if something is different. Well, we rocked up at London about 7:30pm ish on the Friday. Make sure you have plenty of phys kits, multiple chan...

Ha ha, that's a bit soon! Any word on when the next one after that is?

Good luck with the weekend. It's a lot of fun

Alright guys,

Does anyone have any word when the next London intake is likely to be?

Thanks,
Chemist

Alright lads,

Any word on London Selection weekend? I heard something about it now being in March, can anyone confirm this?

Cheers

Cheers buddy, time to ramp up the training

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but yes you can join, however you need 6/36 unaided vision. Which I think is the second or third line down on the eye test chart. With your glasses I think you need to read the second from bottom line. Not sure about that bit though. I passed the medical and I wo...

Any word on when the next selection will be? Are they only doing one intake a year now??

Cheers

Alright guys,

Does anyone have an idea when the next intake for London will be?

Cheers for any info.

Chemist

6th July? Right cheers.

Does anybody have a heads up when the intake after that will be? Is it now roughly every 12 months for sure?

Thanks in advance.

Chemist

When I did the Selection weekend at London you could get away with pausing for a second or two in the pressups while you try and pump out a few more reps, but we couldn't have gotten away with longer rests. I guess it might depend on the mood of the PTI's on the day?
