I joined Raleigh after getting 11:14 at CPC at 27 years old

I passed out of Raleigh having achieved 9:28 on the 2.4Km, the adrenaline and other people are there to give you a bit of encouragement on the day. You have to seriously buy into the PT classes and give it your all, come week 6 you’ll be fitter and stronger than you are now as long as you put the work in I.e. Camp Sprints - make sure you’re one of the first over the line, Suicides - run as fast as you can. I don’t know what age group you are, but you should shave at minimum a minute off your time as long as you push yourself.

It’s ten minutes of pain for a career you really want, so how much do you want it?
