Re: Tabbing
Hello Bees, That training will work your CV and leg/back strength, and endurance, but in preparation for CTC you really don't need to be doing much of that. Wouldn't hurt to do it once a week though. Don't carry heavy loads yet. Running is at least 90% of your life during training. Train for it wit...

Re: Tabbing

The weights we carried vary, Speedmarch's you carry Fighting order and wpn (about 30lb) Load carry used to be a 12 miler with your b...

Re: Tabbing
Thanks fella's,
Got a longback off ebay for £18, put a load of water in it and packed it out with a quilt.
I'll crack on with that.
What sort of distance? its going to be at least 6 months before i'm in so i thought it might pay to get used to carrying weight.
