Just echoing TPA and Seags asking what the reason for the change is?
I may be mischief making (bored in the office on a post-leave Monday afternoon) and am considering signing out a set of Osprey as I feel some incoming but just a thought...
Many on this thread talk about having to train specifically to pass the PJFT which has little to do with the PT undertaken on either PRMC or POC. This being the case, will a reduction in this hurdle enable prospective candidates to focus more on getting themselves fit for selection at CTC rather than passing an arbitrary test? As long as CTC do not lower their standards, it COULD be argued that this is a good thing.
What was the original PJFT time exactly? I’ve only known it to be the current one.The original PJFT was a single mile and a half run. Which was changed to the 2 runs, one at a base speed and another best effort due to lads failing in aspects of PRMC/RT.
As far as I was aware and told the 2 runs was introduced to make it harder but also to ensure correct training and preparation was made to continue onto PRMC/RT.
Running on a flat treadmill is not beneficial nor replicates real running. And it may just be 30 seconds now but the creep will slowly break it down over time.
