When I was a bit younger and in my prime, it wasn't unknown to go to bed at 3 in the morning - and then get up at 6 in the morning for PT.!!

*drops knitting*

*faints*

Am currently trying to adjust my bodyclock by means of setting my alarm for 6.25, and staying awake from then on. It's giving me ...

You will find that doing PT at that unearthly hour, actually sets you up for the day.

With all due respect, not so far it bl**dy hasn't. :evil:

I have a theory that some people find this, and some people don't (used to see it at Cambridge when people tried early morning rowing seesions - some ...

Why have PT first thing 6-7?

Just wondering...

I mean, if someone wanted to see me at my absolute worst, then I'd suggest they got me up two hours earlier than normal, (ideally after a broken night's sleep) and then made me run around for an hour or so in heavy footwear and clothing, carrying stuff, and all before breakfast ...

And when on the 1st run with less than 300 metres to go don't get on your hands and knees crying saying "i can't go any further"
But, but... I thought PTIs enjoyed seeing people suffering?!

Um, anything in particular inspire those words of wisdom? :wink:

spider: "need", I don't know...

PFT scores on assessment weekend (end March/beg April) as follows (bearing in mind I'm female, OK?)

press-ups - 46
sit-ups - 60
run - 11:05

Not that the PFT is everything, but I was told my fitness at that point was 'good'. And the press-up and sit-up scores got me ...

Plenty of places I like, but Colchester (as you will have realised) isn't one of them :lol:

Truly, I've been around the world twice and visited every continent except Antarctica - my usual reaction to every new place is to fall in love and wonder why anyone would want to live anywhere else...

okay but the weather is nice this time of year...kind of.
Alright, you've got me. North Essex does have the lowest precipitation rate in the country (less rain than anyone else).

:roll:

What a wonderful selling point.

Wholley: What's wrong with it? What's right with it is the real question.

Someone find me something to like about Colchester I'd be quite pleased really...

Awkward, badly planned and managed (in terms of both car and pedestrian access), no interesting shopping, very little in the way of anything ...

And now you know why I thought it was funny you were looking forward to getting to Colchester!

Sorry, I'm no help - never go there if I can help it, except to do BMF twice a week.

Hello! How's all your stuff going?

Luckily the guy I tend to get paired up with for sleeping purposes (there must be a better way of wording that...) is fairly quiet - it's just a case of me lying down and then starting to worry about things. Deeply unproductive of course, but a hard habit to break ...

"Correct, you will find a few staff who are miserable a-holes and will try to fail people, most will be OK!"

Yeah. As long as the recruits are all on-side I figure it'll be OK. :D
