Join the paras and you won't need it to fly neither

Nice one Lance Jack Jack/4pararec/el prez. Have been looking all over the internet for something like this but the only one that comes close is the US navy seals workout which seems to involve longer slower runs and billions of sets of pressups. I'm also training for a 10km race at the end of July f...

ahhh nice one, gettin along like brothers already

I'm in the TA and our unit was drug tested a few weeks back. One lad was collared for it and thrown out - he told me he hadn't touched the stuff in months. Also, have you thought about where your money is goin when you smoke cannabis. The south american drug cartels (where most of the uk's weed come...

Cheers for that. I'm now running twice a day, with a couple of runs per week replaced by tabs and speed sessions. My endurance is fairly good, but I need to work on sprints etc. By the end of last week, I was aching all over but today i'm recovered and ready to go again, so I think i've got the bala...

Oh yeah.. one more q - what did you do for the 6 weeks before you started? Did you train all day? (is that even possible without injuring yourself?)

Cheers;

Gotta love militaryforums. Where else do you get straight information like that... Not at the recruitin' office for sure. I'll carry on with what i'm doing but i'm gonna start running twice daily - just wanna spend the next 3 months or so beasting myself up the hills and doin longer and longer runs....

Everyone's seen the official para reg. training schedule which basically says run once a day and do circuit training once a day, but I know for a lot of people that's not enough. Also, I know this has been covered a lot in the RM Joining forum, but I thought it would be good to have one specifically...

Forgot to say.. I don't have a definate date for training yet. I'm not unfit (Walking with weight isn't a problem and I could hammer out pressups all day) but I'm trying to get my mile and a half run time down as it's p.ss poor at the moment :-? El Prez - i mentioned having met a couple of 1 para la...

I'm gearing up to join the regular parachute regiment. I'm currently in the ta but it's almost a joke. I've noticed the sever lack of ex paras on here, but I'm sure word will get around. As for 1 para i don't know any names - all I know is the lads that were instructing us were the same ones who'd t...

Sorry to use the forum like this but just asking if any potential paras (or marines or anything elses) live around here and would be interested in training together.

Send me a pm or reply.

Later;

almost forgot - they also did a bft (1.5 mile run) although they didn't record the times - and they filled out recruit preference cards ( ain't sure what they were, I think it's so the lads who ran the course got money if we went through with it - but maybe someone else can shed more light ).

I did one age 15 with the lads from 1 para who did the attack on the west side boys. They showed us pictures they had from sierra leone of... dead people to put it nicely. They messed us about a lot n had us in stress positions half the night. It's certainly a wake up call for a 15 year old :D It's ...
