do you know how much running per day is done in phase 1?
ive been running 2kms and 3kms but have no idea what length i should train for

[@KyleSmithFIT]

I wouldn’t really go about 8km unless your gong para/marine, you won’t run every day in training maybe once or twice a week. You might do 3-4 PT sessions a week max

@@westay4924 awe some mate, good luck,
Sounds like your in a pretty good spot. I wouldn’t be too worried about running if you can do that time. What about strength, press ups etc…it’s good to have a half decent ability in them as well.

I have a question, I had cataract surgery, now afco says I would get assessed by the medical team but RM medical guidelines says I'd be permanently unsuitable, is it really just a guideline and I would get assessed properly at the medical stage? Don't want to apply and waste everyone's time

[@dannyr6040]

alright mate, is it alright if i pick your brains sometime. just got a few reserve questions

[@Ryan-mk6it]

do your bags get checked through on arrival to Catterick or pirbright?

[@KyleSmithFIT]

No mate, not as far as I can remember. What you planning on smuggling in like ? 🤣

[@kobeking175]

[@KyleSmithFIT]

Nope sorry mate.
