10 min 37 secs, pass time is 11 min 09 secs so not beating it by a huge margin and wanting to get it under 10.
If that's on the road, it's an impressive time!!
It was on the treadmill, reason being the fitness test is conducted on a treadmill and having never really used one up until a few weeks ago thought Id better bang at least some of the practice in on one given the difference in techniques ie keeping up with a belt as opposed to actual propulsion against the ground
Reason being I'm in the process of joining the navy, passed the written test and interview just medical and fitness tests to go plus security vetting. Although I am comfortably within the time limit for the pre joining fitness test, if I am to be successful in completing basic training (should I get that far), it will be much harder and more of a shock the less prepared I am as I'm sure it will not be easy at all both mentally and physically.
Good advice there dum-dum, I'll sign up to that site when I get on a proper PC. Will also train for much further distances, also near to me I have a field which would be decent with a few cones for knocking a 'track' up or shuttle runs, plus a 100m long steepish hill which is good for hill sprints.
