Im off down to CTCRM on Monday I pretty much have everything I need to take down with me. I have chosen not to buy many 'extra' (not on the list) items and see what the training team says regarding things like boxers/pants/swimming shorts/speedos etc.

A couple questions for lads that are down there ...

Nope but I will be there the day before to start RT

I have just watched all 3 parts and would lie to say thank you. Its strange watching it as you obviously recognise the accomadation, gym, bottom field etc.

In my opinion, that PRMC looked harder than the one I participated in. The presenter had a very good attitude and was trying his heart out!

I had something that sounds similar.

Once the pain starts, does it hurt when running up hill?

Mine didnt and the problem was extremely tight rectus femus (one of the muscles that makes up the hip flexor). In my case, probably caused from sitting at a desk all day and loads of situps - as both ...

Not long till I meet my new Mammy Wonder if they'll do my washing and ironing if I ask politely

Congratulations!

I was on the same PRMC and passed too so have been on the sauce since getting on the train home. I think this is actually the longest Ive been out of the pub

All part of my planned training though...

Anyway, back out for pre-Christmas drinks!

This is my last week before my PRMC. Pushups, situps, pullups are fine and I am hoping to get good scores there.

Went for a 3miler before breakfast this morning and got 21min 20secs. This was hard but I managed it.

Thing is I have a bit of pain in my knee so was going to leave all running until i ...

Congratulations!

Just out of interest, how did the gum passout you watched look?
