Hill sprints are so good to improve. I did a bunch nearly every day first thin in the morning about 5am or 6am for a week and did them to failure, even to the point of throwing up all my liquids I was drinking one time. wasn't doing any 2kms 1kms in between etc. then did a 2km the next week and it shaved a minute off my run time right off the bat (granted my initial runtime was around 11:30 so bare minimum!) but incorporating that into my training eventually lead to me getting a 9 min 2km runtime before I went to AC, nearly scraped an 8.0 on bleep test. Won't be turning any heads for the infantry or paras but for what I was going for I was better than some others who rocked up

The OC could run a BFT in 7.5 minutes and he would buy a 🍺 beer for whoever beat him to the line. Another notable BFT was on my PT leaders course (CCPR community sports leaders award) which took a minute longer as it was on grass with slippery wet corners in winter. I was certainly noticed by the staff in the swimming 🏊 pool by the method I used to pull in a lane rope ending with it already loosely coiled in my arms ready to hang it on its peg. Happy days.

I have never thrown up as much in my life from pure exhaustion 🤢 I got up and down 7 times. Para lad did it 11 times and sas lad got 15 or 16 times and was still in shape for battle after.

Unfortunately they've scrapped the 2km run for army reserves. I'm trying to join the Rifles as a rifleman. Their run time is 2km in 10.15 mins. I started off with a best time of 25 mins with lots of breaks but 2 years later I now have a run time of 2km in 9.15 which I still can't believe I did it!! Just shows if I can do it anyone can do it. Shame they've now replaced the 2km with a beep test why keep changing it. They changed it before with the water jug test which is now a medicine ball throw and bar pull of 70kg which I smashed with a PB of 200kg. Just waiting for the csm to get me on selection but apparently they're only taking on regs at the moment.

What diet/supplements would you recommend for improving endurance and stamina
@me59693 жыл бұрын
There’s nothing really in terms of supplements aside from making you have all your vitiamins and people Creatine. And diet, there’s nothing really that specifically helps with stamina but just the usual make sure you hit your needed intake for protein to enable protein synthesis. Also diets can vary on the individual. Broccoli and stuff bloat me to fuck so I have to stay clear of that and just smash the sweat patio chips in instead.

Hi guys don’t know if anyone knows but I have my assessment centre in October was wondering if anyone knows if it’s still bleep test and how hard it is I’ve got my run down to 9:05 but averaging around 9:15 not bad cos I started off 11 minutes. I found best is to run 2/3 times a week I ran everyday 2km for about two months but I’m prone to injury lol and also got slower due to tiredness etc

Started my application in late Feb and was worried about the run times... I'm 33 and worked as a chef all my life, my first run I clocked at 13.42 after a 3rd run got this down to 11.12 my personal best after 3 weeks was 9.17... Hadn't actually been for a run for a few weeks due to work schedule just got back from one today expecting a poor time yet was 10.12. Watching your videos have helped, but is it a bleep test now? Is this due to covid?

If you don’t train the correct way then it’s hard, but hard work pays off aswell as watching thins like this on how to improve certain lacking areas, the runs the hardest but it’s better at selection as you are running with other people which eggs yourself on to get a better time than them for bragging rights

The screen is touch screen, so that will save time rather than using the mouse. Also, you will be asked - River colder than lake, pond colder than river. Then underneath it will ask - Which ones is warmest? Read the question at the bottom first, then read the info above it, it makes it a lot easier.

What if I told you that when your at the point you feel you can’t go anymore, your body is only around 30-40% of its capacity and it’s just your mental state telling you that you can’t do anymore. Mind will give up before the body every time. This is how Paras, Marines and UKSF lads can get through there training, by overpowering your mind. Obviously stop if u get an injury though, you know the difference between u comfortable pain and an actual injury 👍
