Are there many hills?
Are there many hills?
Are there many hills on the three miler.
Thanks

Nope, the lanes around woodbury are quite flat and the 3 miler is basically just one road that is flat with a slight incline at one point.
Can I take a massive guess and say that maybe because you posted this question you're worried about running up hills? If so start training for it now mate as hills are a PTI's best friend
You will dramatically increase your overall CV and running fitness by adding some incline work and hill sprints into your runs. Train hard, fight easy apparently
Nothing like hill sprints to make you want to throw up a lung

I'm right about the herd of cows mind. During my 9 miler I managed to run into about 50 odd coming the otherway. Cow pats all over the road and all over me boots and puttees.

Re: Are there many hills?
I always remember Killer Hill on Woodbury. During our nine mile speedmarch there was a civvy coming down the hill on a bike, just as we were running up it. He unfortunately lost control of his contraption and ran clean into one of my oppos. My oppo bent forward to protect himself and the cyclist more or less pole vaulted into a field off the back of my oppos slung weapon.TomClarke wrote:Are there many hills on the three miler.

Thankfully my oppo still completed the test within time and with the rest of the troop.
Cheers

Re: Are there many hills?
Some of these posts are slightly misleading. Almost half the course is uphill, unfortunaltey its the part you start. Don't make the mistake i always used to do on BFT's and blast off on the first section trying to catch up with the fastest lads cos you will suffer on the much easier downhill half back to camp. The gradient isn't particularly steep, it does however go on enough to hurt.TomClarke wrote:Are there many hills on the three miler.
