I’m going into the infantry. My current 2km run time is 13:24 mins… I’m obese right now so I’m losing the weight as I need to and this will help run faster times. Day1: 5km run paced for 4.5km, last 0.5km is best effort Day2: 2km run best effort Day3: mile 1- 13 min mile, mile 2- 12:30 min per mile, mile 3- 12 min per mile, mile 4- 11:30 min per mile, mile 5- 11 min per mile. Day4: day off. Repeat this on day 5 This will be my running routine for the next 2 months. I have my army brief on the 28th (8 days time) so I’ll let keep you posted with how much weight I lose and how much I improve. Current weight: 236.2lbs (lost 14lbs so far) Current 2km run time: 13:24
So I started running 2 days ago I decided to join the army about a month ago and I’ve been trying my hardest to run 2k but I keep on having to stop a few times because I use to smoke i recently quit but I just don’t know how to improve
this might be late, but i'm the same lol smoking has messed up my lungs but keep running everyday at a maintanable pace as long as u can and u should be able to improve to get to the 2k mark in a fast time
Yeah I don’t think it is anything to worry about mate, by the time you get to it you will have already completed BMT. Should be at a good fitness level by then.
how can i run 2km in 12 minutes? what kind of technology do I need during the run and what do I need to eat and drink before the test? the test is for the police academy
That's great. I've also gotten to the RG Medical Declaration but i don't know how and where to take and complete the test... Could you help me with some information about the medical center you did your tests and the process involved.
I’ve been told to do a 2k before my interview is just to see if I need to improve before the ac or have I got to hit the required time to get past the interview ?
@@KyleSmithFIT I think there’s a maths test for the technical trades, a maths and English test along side that and the cognitive test. But not everyone will have to do all of them test. You would only have to do all 3 if you haven’t got a grade A-C in maths and English and if your going for a technical role 🙂
Hi mate, just wondering if this run can be done on a treadmill? For the interview process they said I needed to do the run myself and time it myself, and the interviews tomorrow 💀 (it’s for an engineering apprenticeship in the army)
@@Charlie-_-s9 hey mate only just saw this, it went all good. Was pretty calming and more like a talk really, sadly didn't get through due to my medical records
@@Destiny15 Only having vision in one eye, but my friend also didn't get in due to having braces, so I'm guessing they're quite strict on these kind of things
Hello bud I phoned my recruitment centre to book myself on to the assessment day / days but they asked me for my bleep test score and my 2 Km run time don’t they check that at the assessment centre ?
Yeah they do, they are just asking to see where you are. If you say you are getting a score of level 3 on the bleep or 18 minutes on the 2km run they probably won’t send you.
I’m running struggling with the running side of the things like I know I got to do it but I just tried to go for a long run but I feel i over step the mark from the start get in about half hour then I’m blowing out
@@willsmith3202 yeah I used to be the same, just gotta learn to take it slow. If you have a watch where you can track heart rate that is an easy way to measure it. If not just run at a pace where you can hold a conversation whilst running.
@@willsmith3202 High intensity interval training (HIIT) is good. A mixer of strength and conditioning. Just RUclips it and give them a go, they can be tough but if you do them 1-2 times a week and 1-2 runs a week you will make some good progress.

good luck like mate, sounds like you have a solid plan in place.
how was it ?
thanks kyle ill definitely be using this🤙🏼
Cool mate! 👊
I start Basic in november! can’t wait , just regards to the fitness level , what are the expectations of your level of fitness when you start 👍🏻
As long as you can pass the fitness assessment you will be fine, don’t worry yourself to much 👊
My best 2km time is 8 minutes 29 seconds, I want to make it 8 minutes by the end of this year
That’s awesome man keep pushing.

Great video. Thank you. Do you know or have any thoughts on what the Role Fitness Test at the end of BMT is for reserves?
Yeah I don’t think it is anything to worry about mate, by the time you get to it you will have already completed BMT. Should be at a good fitness level by then.
Hi mate is this good for the RAF fitness test too? Thanks for this video, really hoping to pass my PJFT but I’m scared I won’t pass.
Of course it is raf and rn are just 400 metres more so this would still be good for training
how can i run 2km in 12 minutes? what kind of technology do I need during the run and what do I need to eat and drink before the test?
the test is for the police academy
Just need to keep running consistently, a good pair of running shoes and a decent diet. Don’t need anything crazy quite simple
Please, what is the next stage after RECRUITING GROUP MEDICAL DECLARATION ?
Hello
What stage have you gotten to in your recruitment process
My recruitment medical declaration has been submitted successfully so I’m waiting for their invitational letter for the visa application.
That's great.
I've also gotten to the RG Medical Declaration but i don't know how and where to take and complete the test...
Could you help me with some information about the medical center you did your tests and the process involved.
@@nerd1636 Bro
I would be very grateful if you could assist with the information please about the medical assessment.🙏
I'm stuck
Send me your ig account for dialogue.
I’ve been told to do a 2k before my interview is just to see if I need to improve before the ac or have I got to hit the required time to get past the interview ?
Yeah, just to see where you are at. 👍🏻
Sir...when was the last time they recruit from commonwealth citizens???
Hello mate, can you join as an officer if you're from the Commonwealth Countries.
The only question I have is on the English and maths test at the assessment centre. What sort of questions do you get asked? 🙂
You won’t do an English test, only a math one. It’s just GCSE questions.
@@KyleSmithFIT ah ok. The army website says you’ll have to do both English and maths test. 🙂👍🏻
@@Ceith_williams92 Oh ok, that just have changed I thought you it was just a math test for people who were going technical trades.
@@KyleSmithFIT I think there’s a maths test for the technical trades, a maths and English test along side that and the cognitive test. But not everyone will have to do all of them test. You would only have to do all 3 if you haven’t got a grade A-C in maths and English and if your going for a technical role 🙂
I had to do both a maths and English test but I wouldnt worry about them, there easy

How did the interview go?
@@Charlie-_-s9 hey mate only just saw this, it went all good. Was pretty calming and more like a talk really, sadly didn't get through due to my medical records
What’s up with your medical record if I may?
@@Destiny15 Only having vision in one eye, but my friend also didn't get in due to having braces, so I'm guessing they're quite strict on these kind of things
@@ImScrippy oh damn, I had a slipped disk about 4 years ago but I’m fine now and training. Worst case scenario I have to appeal it if I get rejected.
I am big guy , i try 2 times for army now i need your help .
How can I help mate?

Just making sure you are ready so you don’t go up and fail 😊
Ok how long does it take once I’ve told them to get me done the assessment centre ?
@@willsmith3202 shouldn’t take too long, probably get loaded on to the next possible one. Within the next couple of months.
Any tips you would like to give me
Anyone going Harrogate in March 2024?
Hello bud do you run every day ?
No mate, about 3 times a week. I prefer strength training to be honest.
I’m running struggling with the running side of the things like I know I got to do it but I just tried to go for a long run but I feel i over step the mark from the start get in about half hour then I’m blowing out

Is there anything else you can suggest that the army do to build cardio and not always running ?

Did you say ‘BLEEP’ test 😂??
Is it cheating if u rest after each mile
Yes mate 🤣 it would still be a great workout though 👍🏻
