    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    26 years TF here. Currently CQ for a rifle Company in Auckland. Did NZBatt 6 in 2002 and loved my time there. Just dida RFL today, my slowest time ever, even worse than 3 weeks ago but then I am 48 and have a bad back limiting my training. 11.46 for the run, 27 press-ups and 130 curl ups. My pressups are still by the book though from start to finish. My attitude to the run is that it will alays hurt but the faster you go the less time it wll hurt for.

    Always got a G1 until a couple of years ago.

    I have a 10 year extension that I will be using for a bit... However I am looking at doing more outside the force.
    You guys and girls may very well see more of me, if you know what I mean.

    I was there as a Truckie. If you were at the APOD in Suai I probably delivered water to you many a time. This is my 26th year TF, still enjoying it.

    ANZAC Lines actually.....
    Water... Yup, never drunk so much.

    Seriously we went through more in a day than I would drink in a week at home.

    Its coming to that time.... almost finished my AEF course, so I've got recruit coming up, starting Tuesday the 14th

    Really can't wait, it certainly has been a long time coming!

    "proper" army sit ups are a pathetic excuse.. the recruiter even knows that, he didn't even watch most of us and took our word for it...
    but just to finish my rant keep the 130 situps going....

    all of this to be achieved within 3 weeks (my next orientation day) and then its back to focusing on enduro
    Just thought I'd drag this topic up again for a quick question to anyone else who has been in the same boat (and of course specter if he's not in his AARC atm: Whats the best way for the average guy to go from a very average 2.4km time (12 mins in my case) to an acceptable one (10min) as fast as possible? Been doing more 2.4s than I can count, and it brought my time down almost a minute, but now I can't seem to move off this mark, but I'm trying to get there as soon as possible hoping to _____ that I might be able to get into the January or February AARC. It's a little frustrating considering that I've fixed the problem that had me failed when I took the written tests earlier this year (maths), my push ups are fine, and so are my crunches (or "situps", which aren't), but this is still holding me back...

    Yep interval training and jog sprints alternate power poles on your long runs

    This a good enough one?
    http://www.intervaltraining.net/HiitTraining-60.html
    Seems strange, I kind of always figured you had to run like a kenyan to run faster any distance. Does that HIIT thing every second day, with a 2.4 in between sound good, or should I still be running longer, with maybe one or two 2.4's a week to gauge progress?
