Yeah definitely gotta get the time down. I had another run the next week, same distance, but it sucked big time. Cramps n sh*t. I probably run a 3 or 4 miler every other day, and do some fartlek in between. Having a break over christmas due to the snow and ice here lol. Still need to get new running shoes tho! haha Hope you feel better soon buddy. Have a wicked chrimbo

Just came in from a 4miler bro. Did it in 34 minutes! Well chuffed. Was fookin freezing though mate. I dunno how you do it up in Scotland lol. Gonna add more distance on each time. What do you think of the time mate? not bad?

Nov 12, 2009 5:27am

Yeah mate, Ive been the same the past couple of months. Paused the app to give me more time. Will probably get in around the same time as you. Yeah, with the amount of applicants you'd think they'd take it easy on the advertising!! New standards are gonna be tough too. Thanks man, nah I havent lost any weight to be honest. Only weight train 2 hrs a week though so it doesnt make sense. Really dont wanna give up gym all together though

The standards have gone up recently and you need to achieve near perfect scores to get in. Pass is not acceptable! Good to hear from you mate. Whats your weekly routine like? You'll get your stomach sorted man, dont worry. When do you think you can get in?

Oct 29, 2009 5:14am

Alright mate. Yeah, its been a bit iffy last couple of weeks. Had some leg problems which I had to take time off to sort (shin splints/pulled calf etc), but im getting back into it. Apart from the running side my other stats are great at the moment. Ive paused the application for a little bit to get my cardio in order. Sucks but its no biggie. Rather get in ready than fail PRMC. Cont..

haha same here mate. Im just trying to be optimistic. Yeah, Im running 3 milers at a pretty good rate. Return run at around 10mins and getting lower. Needs work still. ah well. I know Im gonna come back stronger and faster. Nightmare running though. Ive been on a 2 year bulk and muscle doesnt help with running in the least lol. I aint gonna stop though man. Nothing is gonna make me quit

Sep 4, 2009 7:30pm

aahhhhh mate. I ****ed up on the 2nd run. Gutted. Id eaten a big meal too soon before, ran the first one fine, went about halfway through the 2nd and nearly hurled and stopped. Got 2 months before the re-run now so its not too bad. Gonna look on the bright side and take it as 2 months extra training time! Nevermind eh. Im not done yet

Aug 5, 2009 7:17pm

haha, unfortunately not. He just made me strip down to the boxers and do press ups and some leg movements. Shame, I shaved and talced up especially (no homo) haha. Yeah, Im well chuffed mate. Just smashed my times on a run tonight. Felt like a breeze after taking a couple of days off. My username on PRMC is ANABOLIC. Im probably gonna set it at 12.5km for the 1st run, then 14-16km for the second. Hope you manage to get the rmr stuff sorted soon buddy

Aug 5, 2009 6:45am

Alright mucka, hows things with you? Any news on the RMR? Just passed my medical today. Gonna have the PJFT this month. Still a bit worried though. Guess I gotta dig deap on the day. Take care bro

Jul 23, 2009 5:42am

Thats a relief! A mate said Id get the finger up the ass check. **** that! Im terrible with needles. Only the other week I refused to have anaesthetic at the dentist. Was in so much pain from the drilling I was literally pissing myself laughing all the way through! Dunno how that happened lol. ill have to suck it up with the injections. Yeah, really cant wait to get in. Just wanna make sure Im ready too. Let me know how you do with the RMRs too buddy. Good luck too. Hope it goes well for you

Jul 20, 2009 3:34pm

lmfao, mate that was hilarious! 5 comments lol. Annoying as hell innit. Yeah, I think I might slow it down a little to be honest. I wanna get in RT before christmas and an injury would not be nice. What exactly is involved in the medical anyway? Like what do they do? Cant find any info on it. I dont mind stripping down to the thong for a female doc. Wont be the first time pablo and juarez have been in the hands of one lol

Jul 20, 2009 12:28pm

The current volume is very high, and Im not sure whether to slow down a bit on it. My runs are definitely getting better though. Feeling easier every run. Im running with an ex army mate. Guys a machine at running. Should be tabbing up the mountains soon too. That'll be fun. Wanna get proper stuck into it and be more than fit enough when the training comes. Yeah, Im kinda worried about the medical. What sort of things do people fail on?

Jul 20, 2009 12:25pm

ahh **** man. Im sorry to hear that. My mate has ibs too - its supposed to be a right ****er. Hope it gets better soon mate. Can you move from the RMR to RM quickly then? I havent read up on that. Yeah, I started off using a TABATA style of training for the first runs cause to be honest, I sucked at running! cont...

Hows things mate? Any news on re-joining the Royals? I passed selection interview about 2 weeks ago. Got medical on the 5th August, then PJFT soon after. Training loads these days. Running about 2-3 miles a day, plus an 8 mile run on saturdays. Getting there! If all goes well Ill be in RT before christmas. Cant wait

Jun 7, 2009 4:57am

Ah sorry to hear that man. If you do decide to rejoin.. Good luck =D 1 week to go now for me, and dam I am nervous! Do you have any tips/advice for me before I go mate?

Jun 4, 2009 8:00am

Hi mate. Yeah I dont know which troop it'll be at this point as its very early stages. Only just got confirmation of the first of my tests. Im extremely determined though.Why did you decide to drop out? If you could give me some tips on the best way to train for it id really appreciate it. What was your training routine like? My cardio is the main thing I need to improve on I think. Good to see you're rejoining mate. Best of luck for it. I cant wait to get in!

Jun 4, 2009 3:58am

Hey mate! I got shinsplints when I was training for the Royal Marines, in the buildup to the fitness test, so I had to pause my application process. In that time, I found out about the RAF Reg, and decided I would go for that instead. Not really sure why tbh.. What week did you drop out of RM training and why? And what makes you want to go back in?
