Uhhh what's wrong with 10:25? It has to be in under 13:15 for artillery. Not only are you mathematically inept mate you claim to even know my physical 'condition'? If you used your amazing literary and observational skills you may have picked up on the fact that I have broken my toe and do not want to cause any further injury. I also do not want to fall backwards. If anything I should surely gain some kudos for thinking ahead and using my brain... I mean surely the fact I want to put in the effort and get the best time I can is commendable. Everyone starts from somewhere.... I'm always up for a craic but come the fuck on!!!!

13:15, are we talking about BPFA's/BFT/PFT/PFA (or whatever the fashion is these days), a pass for a PFT (1.5 miles) is under 10.30 if you are under 30 years old! Or are you running some new fan dango 2 mile run?

Oh I am sorry, I will give my self a stern talking to!

Its been 25 years since I attended Sutton Coldfield, so forgive me for asking what run!

However it still remains 10:30 for the 1.5 miler and you PB is what 10:25, which had you been running a 2 miler this would have been a respectable time, not so for the 1.5 miles.

Thanks for enlightening me!

Enjoy your 13 minutes and 15 seconds, when you grow up you can do a PFT like the rest of us and have 10 minutes 30 seconds for the pleasure.

Good Day

Wow that hurt. I think I might cry. I'll enjoy my 10 minutes 25 seconds thanks. And by the time I 'grow up' and take PFT i'll easily shave a minute from that. If I didn't i'd worry about what the fuck i'd been doing in basic. But what the fuck would I know hey? Wow, gotta love the team spirit the army has to offer.

It was not meant to hurt, but you are coming across as a bit of a cock.

Apologies I was just trying to fit in ;) ... Now let me dry my eyes.... Can I just make the valid point though that you have no idea who I am, and whether i'm male or female!
