Just started swimming regularly, helps having the girlfriend involved too as im more motivated. But wondering if anyone has some pointers/advice regarding gettin fit enough. My run is around 13mins for 1.5miler so I know i need to improve. My upper body strength needs work too.

Any PTI's/fitness crazies out there? Just wanna pass ADSC and get set up well for basic.

**I know theres a Fitness forum but thought some of the potentials/applicants here might have suggestions too as this is a more used forum**

At the moment im doing 3mile runs 3 or 4 times a week, then usually time my 1.5 a day through the week. Try cycling aswell, i find that gives me a different form of excercise, also even a long walk at a fast pace is good too. Skipping is also fun lol

To get good at running = run
To get stronger = Lift weights in the gym.

Simple really isn't it?
