Thats solid info right there dogcop....this job is as much physical as well as mental. You have alot of so called genuises that are applying. But it will take more than higher education. If you cant do a bench of atleast your body weight ONCE, that how can you protect yourself or others in the time of need? Also what the hell have these people been doin the past year.

Now some of the chubby or obese women that have problems I understand if they can't put up 120 lbs. but there should be no man that can't easily do 200 lbs+. The run is also mental in my opinion if you haven't trained up to it. I'm almost 40 years old, HATE running with a passion, have had 2 knee surgeries and have back issue, my main focus is weight lifting and weigh 240 lbs. (muscular, not fat) and make the run in 12.5 minutes. If any 25 year old in good health can't pass this they should be publicly caned in the street. Ha

Well I'm glad for your sakes they failed. There is simply no excuse. No I never have been and never will be a great runner. You throw my 30 pounds of gear on and my composite toe boots on and I'm lucky I can keep up with a stray poodle. I'm just not fast, but I keep my cardio up for my endurance and when the fight is on. God help them when I do catch them, damn how I miss having a dog! Haha

PT is not a joke wen it comes on runing. I did 1 1/2 in 11:15 minutes. Which on the end I felt like throwing up,fainting, everything. But afterwords it feels good passing it.
I never ran outside in my practice routing. I always run in the gym in the threadmil.

You were already good. I'll never forget practicing for a charity 5k at my old job. I had a PT test coming up (I'm a Reservist). I figured man we do group runs 1-2 times a week after work and I'm hitting the treadmill after work when we're not doing group runs so I'm good. That was the worst run performance I ever had after I actually "prepared" and it was because I was preparing for a timed and tested run without the same time and terrain stressors as the actual test. I did just fine at the 5k with no problems. I passed my PT test but score poorly and was gassed. Some people know how to train well with a treadmill like yourself. Others you should avoid them unless they know what they're doing. A track won't steer you wrong.
