PGAC TAB

[PaulSyorks]

Allright. Just a quick question really. I have my pgac on Tuesday as mentioned in previous post and was just wondering what the weight you carry is on the TAB. I've been running with about 25kg at the moment. Thanks alot.

hi mate good luck for next week, in answer to your question it is 10k for 3km. According to the info I was given from the AFCO last week anyway

[PaulSyorks]

Are you down there next week as well like? Thanks for the good luck mate.

no afraid not, haven't got a date for PGAC yet. How long did your application take? mine seems to be dragging!

I got date about 2 or 3 weeks after my medical which i was quite surprised about but obviously the sooner the better. Hope you hear something soon mate.

paul mate, i wouldnt be running around with 25kg on my back for very long

at pgac from what I've read the weight on the tab wont be that great, managable for a fit/strong lad

they build up load carrying in basic training, you'll do serious damage to your back if you run with 25kg of weight without building up sufficiently first

just keep a good cardio fitness level without weight and you'll be fine I am sure

Thanks for that Stu mate. Just wanna make sure i'm properly prepared. Looking forward to it and i'm definately going to make the most of the 3 days down there. Thanks again.
