Well that was a crap introduction XD, Lads my names Mack I've passed my medical I've failed the PJFT once attended a RMAD not sure how I did yet but I feel like it's going to be a bad result, Its seems as though I've got no problem with the press ups, pull ups and the sit-ups. its literally the VO2 and the BFT that is letting me down and I have no idea how to dramatically improve them other than just doing them over and over again.

Hi! As for the BFT mix it up, no point just running 3 miles every day and expecting it to go down, this will improve it a bit but certainly not the most effective way. If I were you I'd do:
1/2x Pjft practice- first run then 4x800m at 1.0kph quicker than the minimum pace (14.8 depending on the treadmill, all on 2% of course)
1x 6 mile, as quick as you can, up to 8 mile once PJFT passed
1x hill sprints
and maybe 1 more run, up to you.
I'm not far of 9 minutes outside but scrape 10 minutes on the Nuffield treadmills so you're not the only one struggling! Good luck, do you have another attempt booked yet>

Hi guys and welcome,

I did
2.4km on 12kph 2% 4x a week

Followed by 3x 800m sprints
Best effort 2.4km
Hill running 20 mins 2-6% incline change it up throughout work up to 6% gradually over 10 mins stick on it for 5 then work down slowly for a cool down keep the pace at 12kph if you can as that's the pace for the first run on pjft.

5 mile outdoor run with hills best effort completed in 35-45mins depending on the size of the hills you're incorporating

The first 3 all on treadmill
That's what worked for me - whenever you're on a treadmill make sure it on incline and do a mock every week and record your results I knocked 1 min off of mine in 2 months

I passed pjft with a. Time of 9:30.

Hope this helps.

No, not yet. Once I failed my PJFT I phoned the afco and they said if I get a good BFT on the RMAD I would count as a pass and they would put me up for a PRMC but I got a crap time well disappointed, I was running a 9:46 return before I went there, I have no clue what happened the be honest.
