anyway quick question should i were like a suit /shirt and tie to preselection?

i ask my recruiter yesterdy and he said turn up casual because its not formal assesment, they just wanna test u are as fit as u say u are, so i reckon to be safe turn up casual/smart

yea im doing mine with a reall easy wrm up as i have to get to the running track i do it on. do u know what pace the warm up is? 9 min mile?

Ive retaken Pre selection again today, last time i got run time of 11.16, and 5 heaves, today i got run time of 11.11 and 8 heaves, i knocked 5 seconds off my run time..my recruiters wanted me to knock the 16seconds of and get 10 or more heaves..so im dreading the worst at the moment, Better Do more running and Pressups..

at pre selection we Do the 800m Warm up as a Group, then 1.5 (2.4km) Run Best effort..

How did you fail with those results? What job are you going for?

When I went to adsc the warm up was 800 metres and we jogged some of it and walked some of it so I couldn't really tell you what the pace is to be honest.

You can run 1.5 miles - even if it takes you longer than everyone else!

Its better to finish the distance than drop out halfway round because you dont have the ability to push yourself
