after doing a few weeks of gettin 16 mins or there abouts for 2 miles, i went up the local track and tested my first timed 1.5 mile run and got 11.28 which im happy with so far just puching on harder towards a goal of reducing this by 1min!

just keep going, i'm nearly 30 now. 6 months ago when started training again (after 3 years) i first got 12:30, last week got my best ever at 9:30. Just keep on training and i will come down!

cheers for the encouragement speedybham, did my warm up and 10 mins of using a skipping rope and then went for a run around the block 3 times just now (approx 0.6 miles once around), calfs hurt a bit but still managed to shave 5sec off my best 2 mile time now 15.45! i can see the progression coming through slowly but surely.. so hopefully not long until i can get to ADSC!

**Asherz** · 18-02-2009, 23:33

keep it up beebs. when i started i was at 14-15 mins for 1.5 miles. on sunday i did 1.2-1.3 miles in 9.45 and forgot to check at the 1.5 mile stage but am hoping for 11-12 mins time and tomorrow i have pre-adsc so am hoping with everyone else around there will be the extra oomph for me to push on a bit harder and get a respectable time. keep knocking at it

i know i am nothing better than seeing weight fall off and knowing your getting fitter.

**beebs** · 18-02-2009, 23:41

its a good feeling actually! all this running is great. pleased i not touched a drop of booze in 4 weeks on saturday! got my pre adsc thing on 17th march, so plenty of time to get prepared, good luck tomorrow dude

**Asherz** · 18-02-2009, 23:59

i`m hoping if i get a mid 11mins - low 12min they`ll put me through for selection...considering it`ll be about a month till selection gives me time to get a good minute if not more off. have to see how it goes though

is anyone aware if you get told if you passed or failed the pre-selection ?

**Theralas** · 19-02-2009, 00:02

Well, big improvement all round for me. Last pre-selection it was 13.27 (shocking I know). Ran my mile and a half yesterday, after doing roughly 40 mins of running up and down hills and got a time of 11 minutes dead. Faltered towards the end, would like to think I could get 10:30 if i really applied myself.

Hopefully though, I am now fit enough to get a decent time at pre-selection and pass it. Gotta wait two weeks though. Oh well, another hill run tomorrow

**Asherz** · 19-02-2009, 00:07

make sure you take days off or you risk injury mate. hoping i`ll do well at pre-slection tomorrow...gettin nervous as i really want to go through to selection

**jay2o** · 19-02-2009, 00:09

at the risk of sounding completely stupid. whats pre selection?

**Asherz** · 19-02-2009, 00:14

basically leicester afco sends us down to a local sports center to be checked on if were are ready for selection jay

**LondonTankie** · 19-02-2009, 00:33

to avoid sending total mongers to selection which wastes money and time. however the odd one or two that slip through the net fail rather well. Hillbilly (forgot your real name you little tramp) if you are out there mate I am sorry for laughing but f*ck me it was funny when you got a nosebleed in the icebreaker. enjoy lads, run your hearts out and one day you can beat the infantry and laugh at the wannabe paras wearing your black beret.
