Fabziy represents the British Army. A real role model that has attracted many to join the army and keeps it real every time. Keep up the AMAZING work mate, your a legend and pure inspiration 🙏🙏🙏🙏
17:35 (you didn’t have a look of disappointment on your face). Thanks for the views of my old stomping ground as you conduct your runs. From a Pirbright old boy instructor 1993-1995, when it was the ATR. Keep up the good work.
Mrboi90 VR who do u think pays for everything the training the equipment tax payers u idiot it may be free but it’s funded by government with tax payers money
Reckon your around 23mins.. nice & steady pace.. The OLD Guards depot has changed a bit since I left it in 86.. The range work in the background was nice to hear.. I remember many a run up & down the dreaded Sandhill.. & the sisters.. hated at the time, all character building at the end..Cracking video cheers
Happy New Year Fabzy. Love to be on this run with ya. In 216, I did my last run with 44Lbs, 3 miles in 28 minutes at the age of 40. Attack attack! Hardcore! I'd say, around 17, minute mark?
i was at pirbright in 1978 junior welshguardsmen them sandhills would make me cry today the young soldiers are lucky to have you as an instructer the way motivate and encourage the recruits well done fabziy
Certainly one of the more challenging tests we also had rifle and helmet. This test should be mandatory for all soldiers as it reflects moving quickly to battle carrying your kit. Not like most the fluffy tests in training shooes
When I train I think of the motivation you have and how inspiring you are when you do a blog, I also listen to on your way and beneath and it really helps so thank you and more of Fabziy please👊🏽☺️
Another banging vid looking forward to what you have coming in 2020 never know i might get to say hello during my training this year!!! These vids are on point keep it up fabzy always waiting for a new update ...
Your channel has helped me motivate myself to get fit and active and join up now got my start date for catterick in March for the royal welsh thanks bro this channel had helped me a lot 👍
Keep pushing every day is gameplay from this 2 para now retired old soldier, I enjoy all that you do Fabziy. by the by I served 22 years in the 2 parachute regiment Fabziy.
Wow! Well done. Huge respect to you all and thank you for everything you do! I’m doing a half marathon next week carrying a 20kg bergen. Will try and run some of it but will probably yomp the majority of it.
Huge respect for doing that, hard to do when the easier option is to stop and even harder when you're carrying kg upon kg. Had to thumbs up this vid and subscribe, should be proud of yourself and all the achievements you've worked hard to achieve.
Thanks @fabziy for your inspiration, motivation and for your honest words...with your strength and encouragement you make others strong again....many thanks 🙏🏼💪🏼 stay as you are! 💛💛
Joe blogs civvy here, dude I don't have aspirations for the military and am getting to the point where I would be too old any how. But love your vids man, only just stumbled upon them but they are a refreshing and relaxing insight into the training you do. Great stuff mate!
Fabziy love your vids mate, ex welsh guardsman, 2 years out suprised i didnt see you in Pirbright, put a bit of weight on since leaving so this year is diet and healthy eating! Thanks for your vids
@@nathanreeves1649 I bet I've been waiting since July when I passed selection to get a start date there was a massive mix up but finally got there haha
@@dandaze4345 you will love it mate u got to tac 3 then after that got discharged you wont regret it pal i passed selection on the 6th of December mate
Love love love your Channel.... A couple of years back I was searching for videos in regards to the being a recruit, trainings and fitness. I didn’t hesitate after watching just one video had to hit the subscribe button I can’t stop watching keep it up..... God Bless you and thank you...👏🏽
Decent bloke speaks sence currently doin runs myself preparing to join. Done 4 halk k without a bag on my back and it killed me. Hope I got what it takes all I can do is try max respect 💯.
@@nosamsemaj9150 Nice one bro. I'll definitely do that. Best advice I've heard is to get some boots asap and got for short runs in em to condition your feet. Also maybe start with a light ruck cause even 5 kg of extra weight can make a huge difference to your endurance and run times. God speed man.
I've just got back from prac today. Best advice I can give is maximum effort bro, you'll do more then what is stated because you will get shown the route as a squad for the 2km and the steeplechase before your timed run so get some long distance running in before you go And for the fam run attack the hills aggressively and catch your breath coming down good luck mate 👍
I see the sandhill being referred to in this, but does the sandhill itself actually still get used ? It was the source of a LOT of pain for us in basic when Pirbright was the Guards Depot 😱🥵
I remember being at ATR Pirbright in the 90s but the worst place ever to do CFT is Hohne in Germany. Its almost all on sand and saps the energy from you!!
Great vids - do like your style. Ex RCT myself and my moto was why run around when i can sit around - that why i was a driver. I remember when i was in Berlin, we would have if not out working, Wednesday half day of for sports, you could do what sports you liked, you had to tell your Sgt what you was doing, i decided to do Egyptian PT. I think my Sgt did not want to look stupid, so he never asked what it was. I got away with lying on my bed for around 2 months until he found out.
Hi there, just watched this video, appreciate it's a few months old now. Sorry! I'm not in the military but love outdoor activities and tough fitness challenges. I've done several 'Para's 10' and 'Fan Dance' events over the last few years and would love some professional advice to improve my 'tabbing' and beat my PBs. Is there a knack to moving faster cross country with a heavy loaded bergen??? I often feel I could push a little harder but worry about permanently damaging my knees etc.. If anyone has any hints and tips it'd be hugely appreciated 🙏👍
The best motivation is the training staff screaming at you to get a move on when you're just an 18 year old kid😂 Pack the weight at the top on your shoulders and lean into it. Hats off to you doing it for fun.
Even tho I'm not in the army anymore I still enjoy your videos Fabz. Great work. I really wish videos like these were around when before I joined on 2009. But I suppose no video will prepare you going from civvi to squady and the constant shouting and beastings from Corporals and PTs 😂😂😂 Your run time, 15:45 ?
Mick my youngest grandson currently training was called a C**T by a Corporal for his bootlace coming undone and unlike his grandad he didn't react in a negative way . I think he passed the attitude test then. He still won't accept that he is a bigger man than me for reacting that way. He is loving the Army
Had to do this continuously every morning as a platoon around FOB Price in Afghan until someone admitted to a slight f*ck up... I don’t miss that - at all.
we had to do what was called a march and shoot . 3 mile run , over the assault course ( about a mile long )and then drop onto the range and do a shoot test . 1973 at pirbright . welsh guards .

@Fabziy started the yr with an amazing video bro . Let's have a great 2020 keep doing wot ur doing 👊
I will fam thanks 👊
Nice one.
Good start to the year with a 2 miler.
Adds
Mate Aussie Infantry here the 3.2km run in kit is our most hated event too I think you did it in 19:13...
I see the sandhill being referred to in this, but does the sandhill itself actually still get used ? It was the source of a LOT of pain for us in basic when Pirbright was the Guards Depot 😱🥵
Yep used to be constantly bounced up and down that bugger when it was the Guards Depot!
Concentrate on yourself, best words of advice ✊✊
I remember being at ATR Pirbright in the 90s but the worst place ever to do CFT is Hohne in Germany. Its almost all on sand and saps the energy from you!!
Back when the CFT was 8 miles, mit helmut und veapon! ;) Best bit was a few beers in the mess in the evening.
Keep pushing my bro you got this !!!!
🔥🔥👊💪
Talking and doing a 2 miler at the same time! good effort. I will guess your time was around 16 minutes 15 seconds
Thanks mate never again tho 😂
No dude he wasn’t going that pace I think 19:13 see who’s closer
BEST (military) RUclipsR!!!
Indeed!
😎 Thanks G
I actually just did a run today. Will post vid soon. Good job as usual fam. Can’t imagine running with that weight 🥵
You would have been going backwards 😂😂😂😂😂
Fabziy could you do a video on what type stuff a recruit should take with them to phase one training?
David Erlstoke lmfao hahahahaah
Great vids - do like your style. Ex RCT myself and my moto was why run around when i can sit around - that why i was a driver.

Fabziy I'm hooked on your videos. Joining this summer and can't wait
Go on fabz you the man bud PTI's all the way bro
Head down and dig in Fabziy, happy new year...15 minutes 40ish seconds.
2:44 2020 oh my days. And that was 8 months ago. 😂🤣😂🤣
Got my assessment in March can’t wait!
Good effort there mate. You'd have definitely smoked me!
Awesome video! You always manage to make ppl smile and also give some inspirational sense! I’d say 18:30 as you were vlogging at the same time
Decent vid Fabziy, decent channel. I like what you have wrote in the description.
Keep up the good work... Pirbright is not so scary once u've passed out of there like i did in 2018
🔥😎 Thanks pal
CFT (8MILER) was the gruiler in my day(completed in under 1hr 40mins) 3LI 84-88
I used to hate PTIs but i think Fabziy is awesome.
16 minutes 12 seconds. Another great video keep it up!
another great video , keep it up Fabizy .
Does my boy fabziy i really like his videos a lot
So proud of you Sir, it sound so interesting keep it up.
Happy new year fabziy to you an all your family all the best to you brother. And your time I’ll say 17m 46 seconds
Loved Staff Paddy! What a legend!
tabbing was for me the worst part of training, always dreaded the day when they came about
How often?
14:40 im gonna say!
Good effort
Damm that would be fast..vlogging at the same time 🤔
Happy New Year matey 👍
I am thinking PTi, bound to have it timed to perfection minus 30 seconds, therefore 17mins 30s.
Happy New Year G' . "time to perfection" DWL Not bad................ but close 😂🔥
14.28 great inspiration mate cant wait to join now
RAMC and 16 med regt here i come
No way off....But good luck 👍
I was a adult instructor within the ACF the cadet training team from the regular army. They was always out running 🏃♀️ every morning.
Army: Hates 2 miles with 20kg
Me: Laughs in Royal Marine
Seumas MacAlastair: Laughs in Royal Marine
obese 500kg man: dies of cardiac arrest
It doesn't count for RMs. Their balls alone weigh over 20kg.
The All Numb Crow that door knocker from the scary movie with the massive bollocks😂😂 should be an award I reckon
You have to remember that a RM has to do the 2 miles without getting lost and end up doing 30 miles
You: laughs in red arse.....crow
Happy New Year 🥳 Fabziy! Start the year with a blast!
Great job your doing well all the best
If I wasn’t visually impaired I’d have loved to be a royal marine watching this stuff makes me proud of our boys but really fucking sad also lmao
Your thoughts are accurate to what was running through my mind, 2 miles with 20kgs, I chose the wrong service!
Haha, we gon pray for yah mate...good stuff
Starting now🔥😂😂
Basic was the hardest thing I've ever done ; that was when the D.S. would get pissed up and beat you while you slept...Ahh happy days .
Haha remember it well ....the good old days 🤣
2 mile hard max effort. I always found if I kept running no walking you do it.
I done a 2mile with 20kg in 20 mins this evening after watching your video, you would of well smashed my time been ages senth I've done one
