A few days to go till the dreaded run, i have refrained from doing one for the last couple of weeks and just hope that passion and determination get me through the longest 9.18 seconds of my life hehe. How is everyone else feeling whos on ADSC Wednesday?

thanks for that mate

Great stuff mate, shame we are not on the same ADSC but hopfully we will both pass (if my 1.5miler is a good one) and be on the same in-take

Hello

I recieved my phone call to let me know when my ADSC was on Tuesday and still havent recieved my details through the post yet but im sure it wont be much longer.

After you pass ADSC it really depends when the next in-take is but i think some people have had as little as 10 days notice, i ...

My 1.5 is terrible at the moment but its straight after a day at work, ive got wednesday off this week so i am going to workout with heaves ect the tuesday night then get up and do the 1.5 miler after some brekfast like i will be doing at ADSC and post the time for you then.
What are you guys ...

sorry to hear that Mike

Ive got my ADSC in 2 weeks and my run time is up and down at the moment so although i will put 100% in i am pretty nervous.

Keep us posted bud

Hey guys

I have my ADSC on the 17th of September, is anyone else on this? Im not 100% with my 1.5mile run time but hopfully if i put my all into it then i can hit below the magic 9.18.

Was i shafted?

I have been doing reasearch all day on the Geographical technicians and have found that although i will get my wings and do P-Coy i will not ever be part of the paras, i will just be part of the para trained engineers which is completely the opposite of what i was told at the ...

Hello

Just wondering if the paras use Geographic Technicians and if they do, do they get to join the battalion or will they just be bought in when needed?
Looking at the arrse forums it seems "Geo boys" are seen as geeks but the job seems intresting to me but i wouldnt consider it if i couldnt join ...

Good luck mate, 4 days to go, let us know how it goes.

Hey mate

I am having my interview next Thursday and they have said to bring my run times ect with me and they will decide when to send me for ADSC but i am hoping i will be on the early October intakes if there are any.

Cheers for the advice everyone.
I have my interview on the 28th August and depending what my run time is, they will decide if its time to send me to ADSC yet or not so fingers crossed. 2 weeks of solid cardio work to do now.

Thank you for all the advice people

I have started trying all these techniques and they seem to work awsome for cardio, specially the swimming (which i am not too strong at so best to practice anyway)

I will keep you posted on which techniques work the best

Thanks again
Scott

Hello people

Just sorting out a training programme for the next month and wanted some advice. Im pretty much there with my upper body strength so its just the 1.5 mile run that i need to improve before i get sent for selection. Is it best to keep running that 1.5 miles over and over or should i be ...

It would be best to get your application rolling as there could be hold ups with your medical ect. If you do have doubts when ADSC time comes round you can do a practice where they do the jerry can walk, heaves, 1.5 miler and ice breaker to make sure your ready.
