Make your goal 30mins, as like I said that's over 700 Calories right there, keep at it each week and you will get there

I'm trying to join the Grenadier Guards, currently at the medical stage. What sort of run time should I be looking to achieve for any of the guards regiments? I know they say 12:45 for all infantry except Paras, but we all know that is b*llocks really. I always get between 10:15-10:30 each time I attempt the 1.5 miler. I haven't been able to knock it down for quite some time now.
I'm sure I would be able to get sub 10 minutes at ADSC with all the adrenalin and competition, but I'm still a bit concerned. Also, I know this is unrelated, but I scored 70 on the BARB test, is that taken into account at ADSC when they weigh you up for the job. You only need 26 for The Grenadiers.
Cheers,
James
