at the same time going upto ~25 miles in 2 days although better, seems a bit of a jump ... then doing the ACFT as part of the weekend exercises/PDT buildup in house ..

Jesus fucking wept on his cross! Do you people actually bother to read what I take the time to painstakingly elaborate?
Firstly, the ACFT 1 & 2 are not replacing the AFT/CFT, they are a different set of tests altogether and not a part of your MATTs. The only reason that I spelled out what they were, was because a couple posters have previously misidentified the AFT by calling it an ACFT.

Secondly, if you reckon that the old Brecon two-miler is "a bit poor", then crack on kid!

Ark at her, somebodies tired :D

BCFT/AFT/CFT whatever you call it is a pretty basic test and not really one to get excited about.

RP578Stroppyb'stards (a possible new title for you?) post shows the whole range of phys avaialable out there, though RP all you have probably done is scare off most of your contemparies :D who think a 1.5 mile run in daps isn't really a fair thing to be thrust on the TA who don't get all the time to train like us ARAB's.

Yep !!! i did

I wasn't aware of the ACFT, i am now, thanks

I now know the AFT was the CFT, thanks

And i can do a 1.5 in 10-21

Still editing :D

I hope you are a split arrse or really really old, i am 41 and do it in under 9.30, so if you are younger than me go stand in a corner and hang your head in shame.......... :P

To be fair, I think certainly in the TA unless you're deploying ACFT 1+2 is something you'll only see in the Infantry.

We do ACFT 2 once a year, and ACFT 1 as and when - usually to break up the tedium of Sunday morning CFTs with something more 'interesting'.

Hanging head now :(

Good lad, expect you to work on it by the next one. Under 10 for the next one.

At the end of the day, 10.21 is still a pass(though a weak one ) , so hats off, i saw people patting each other on the back just for coming in in under 14 minutes!!!!!!

Wrong, mate, that was CPR.

It is a shorter and slower version of the P Coy 2 miler in 18 minutes - a proper lick out, if ever there was one!

Apart from location, is there any major difference between the P-Coy 2 Miler, and the well known Brecon 2 Miler?

Probably not. 2 miles, 18 minutes, 35lb (IIRC) and a jack waggon following along behind to pick up bits of lung that you have coughed up along the way! :D
