Training etc . . .

[CrouchmasterT]

When i went for my PJFT the instructor told me I had to do it at 14.4 km/h to pass which was 10.45 mins, i said i would do it at 16 km/h to get 9 mins, but he said i should start at 14.4 and see how it goes because i hadn't touched a treadmill in years, after a couple of mins i whacked it up to 16 and got 9.20 mins, the treadmill i did it on only went up to 16 km/h.

cheers for the replys again dudes ! anywayz iv bin for my medical / eye examination today and passed all as well as a navy chick wantin my number . . . and discussed stuff that will be asked me on my interview day which is on the 24/02/05. Back to the tred mill info, yet again i forgott to ask what time i have to do the 1.5 mile run on the tred mill under? u ppl say on the forum its under 10 mins but its always changing i hear, anyone know the exact time ? i can run at 14/16 km no probs on the tredmill lol ! i guess its time i started timing my runs been puttin it off as im unsure that ill meet the requirments needed and just keep running to no clock!

10.45 - Pass

10.00 or under - Preferred Time

I second the above, as I'm looking at the piece of paper explaining the PJFT right now and it states that you have to achieve 10:45! But they like to see something under 10 minutes, or so I was told be the recuiter. I ended up getting 9:18, which seemed to please him enough!

[beardo]

haha I got 10.14 lol

I had been practising and pissing 10 min....but the gym I had to do it in was absolutely boiling I was sweating before I even started the run lol

[Kane]

Same here, but the hot chick running in front of me kept it interesting, lots of laugh!

[Daveb]

I got 8.24 when I did it, but I reckon the person finished it early by accident!

[beardo]

Yup exactly the same with me, I was getting around just under 10 min, On the day of the test the gym was so so hot and ended up getting 10:10 or something like that. Anyway as the AFCO said afterwards who cares ? Its under 10:45 so they didn't really give a shit lol.

In all honesty you want to be looking at a time of sub 9.30 if you want to pass the PRMC. But yeah, the gym I did it in was underground, really stuffy and hot and hard to breath in

[sandaz]

anyone know when i will be doing it ? how long after interview ? will they call me back after just for the 1.5 run ?

EDIT: oops, read beardos responce, thought you was on about prmc after pjft

[beardo]

when you pass your medical you need to book it within 7 days and do it within a month

HEY GUYS I FIND BEST WAY AS WITH A RUN OUTDOORS IS TO GO AS FAST AS POSSIBLE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE,I TRY AND RUN AT 16KPH FOR 1.2KM THEN SLOW DOWN TO 14KPH FOR 400M THEN 16KPH TILL I FINISH ALSO AS A LITTLE BONUS I USED TO WHACK THE INCLINE UP AS HIGH AS IT WOULD GO FOR THE LAST 100M WHEN I DID MY PJFT IT WAS THE FIRST TIME ID DONE A MILE AND HALF ON TREADMILL,BUT DID IT IN 9.37 THE PASS MARK IS BELOW 10.30 I WAS TOLD ON THE DAY, BUT AT PRMC I WAS SUPPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAD SCORED OVER 10MINS AND THESE WERE ALL YOUNG WIPPERSNAPPERS,AND IM 27 SO IF I CAN DO IT ANYONE CAN.

i Just went to the gym tonight after I spoken with the AFCO officer yesterday but I didn’t sign up we where just talking about it. I got 9.44 which I thought was good but I was going at level 13 for about 4 minutes then shit myself so I cranked it up when I saw I wasn’t going to meet the target, anyway I ended up running at level 18.5 to make good time. I wasn’t nacked at the end I should have done better. I’m Signing up this Tuesday.

cant wait
