D'OH!

You divvy. You've left it pretty late then haven't you. Have a look around the Marines part of the forum which has loads of usefull training programs for you to work to

The only sensible idea would be to get off your arse and do lots of running on and off road. Sets of press-ups everyday...

What is your standard at the moment? (How many Press-ups, how many Sit-ups, what time on 1.5 mile?)
