Re: TA Application Update
Goddammit Got a stitch, ran through it, got a 2nd stitch which nearly crippled me, however since carrying on with everything else, I didnt get through this time, but have a 6 month deferral (which is slightly better than a f**k Off). SO 6 months of pushing myself more than I did before and figure out how NOT to get stiches now

Re: TA Application Update
I didnt get to finish the run with them, as the pain was excrutiating and managed to mess my breathing up, so in turn got a 'lift' round the rest of the course in teh meat wagon
before that though I had managed 20 mins with a minor stitch, and in the past managaed 14:59 (which I know still isnt good enough) and before that I have no idea as I hadnt timed or checked distance, just ran for (about)25-30 mins. I admit I probably didnt push myself as hard as i should have, but not I have a 6 month period to get myself into tip top A1 condition.

Re: TA Application Update
Thats it m8 work hard over the next 6 months, get on the treadmill less chance of shin splints so you can push your self harder. Then start added road runs when your fitter, you wouldn't have wanted to scape in anyway, would have made the weekend camps hell. I wanna get fit, trained and have a laugth with the ladz not come back on deaths door everytime.
Good luck with the training.

Re: TA Application Update
Exactly mate. I DID get a handy 'Mini Fitness guide' given to me as I was leaving. Though the spelling was terrible (E.g- Millitary and areobic) which should help me, as well as my 'Official British Army Training' book I bought.
