Cheers guys for the support! I just can't wait to get it over and done with now!

Hi C-man,
I'll be there, im going down on the sunday aswell to get settled in, its a long journey down from Yorkshire! Hows the training going? Nervouse yet?

Thanks for the advice, i suppose il just have to go away and think about it.

My fitness is not too poor. I can run the mile and half in 9.07 minutes, and overall long distance i can keep up the pace of 7.5 min/miles for around 6-7 miles. However i can only achieve around 35 press-ups, full sit-ups and about 3 pull-ups. If i was to ring up and tell them i will not be ready ...

Hi all,

Cheers i'll kepp that in mind, im trying to make it so i go straight from a run to press-ups and to the pull-ups. Im just concerned that my running pace will not be quick enough and the length of time i run over. I've never really run that much, but i ran 5 miles the other day and hit a time just ...

Hi all, im new to posting on the site but i've been scanning over the topics relating to the POC for quite a while now. I've had my initial interview with the careers liason officer and should hopefully be booked on to a POC in either February or April. Im fairly fit strength wise, but really need ...
