Getting ready for CIC(PARA)
Posted: Mon 26 May, 2003 4:08 pm
I've passed intial selection at RSC Pirbright (april 1st, anyone from that group here?) for Para, having done my mile and a half run in 8:52 (I'm sure somebody's going to tell me it's crap, but I think its not too bad considering I couldnt run a mile and a half in less than 13min 7 weeks before 
)
Trouble is, I had to cut down a bit on training for various reasons beyond my control and now am recovering from a slight knee injury (which stopped me training for a bit) and basically don't know if I can repeat that time when I head up to Catterick. I've concentrated more on 3 milers (22-23min) and strength training since then.
Will we be doing that mile and a half best effort as soon as we arrive (as I've heard) or after a bit of training (which would be much better) and what if I don't quite shine in that run... will I be backsquadded/chucked out/something worse ?
Cheers
