Cardiff Marines Experience of Fitness Testing

On the day of my 3 ile run - The weather was foul with the rain coming down side ways. We got changed and formed up into the squad and double timed to the entrance of camp. We crossed the road and were given out instructions. We then formed up again and did the 2.4km in 12:30. This run possibly takes longer because you double time then walk for a bit and then double time, as the PTI tries to keep pace. The route is a T-shape and is the route for the return leg ie. the 2.4km in 10:30. We got to the transition point and formed up. 40+ lads trying to cram into a single lane and fit for a place near the front. I started off well, but slowly starting falling back and finally became the last man. My legs were aching and just couldn't find anything in them. I was running with a PTI at bit until he said he wasn't pacing us. At this point I dug in and tried catching the lads in front of me. I managed to get close to them and when I saw the finish line I dug deeper, focused on getting in I mis-heard my time and either came in 11:05 or 11:25, whichever it was I had missed the time.

I did'nt put the preparaqtion in to get fit for the run, so as soon as I came back to Cardiff, I looked for ways to get fit and rang several Cardiff Personal Trainers and personal trainers in Newport.

I also went to several gyms in Cardiff, tried the  Hybrid Bootcamp Cardiff, British Millitary Fitness training in Cardiff local parks and used Kettlebells in Cardiff Gyms. The Cardiff Kettlebell Bootcamp was by far the most challenging and the most fun. I got stronger, more muscular and leaner and my body fat reduced drastically.
