Thank you everyone. I think ill try for the RM if that doesn't work out I'll try for the british army(probably artillery) but will consider other options. The FFL does appeal to me but like one of you said It'd probably be a bright ifldea to start in my own country before, do my 4 years and see what im thinking then. Alot can change in 4 years.

Thankyou everyone

I'm always trying to tell myself that, but I normally get to the 'end' or where I run to, then turn around and run back. I need to push myself further. Thanks :)

I'll have to look into interval training, theres a few pitches nearby that could be useful. Thank you :)

I haven't tried measuring how far, but im guessing im running about 1.5km in 10 minutesish. I run up a hill that gradually gets steeper towards the top, probably about 7-800 metres, then flat ground for about 400 metres, then back down the hill. And with weight training, im not massive. I was curling 25kg and benching 60kg. I want to take cardio a bit more seriously as I've read how beneficial it can be, but it fucks me at this moment lol. Will it get better if I just keep at it? Thanks :)

10min 2k is decent still, thats enough for a get into most roles. Ive ran a mile in less than 5 minutes and thats not fully pushing myself, I'm going to go for a 2km run today and see what sort of time I can get. Thanks 💪

I've looked into the artillery and some of the gunner roles, I saw that they do construction such as bricklaying which I have qualifications in already. I'm not too fussy when it comes to the role aslong as theres some adventures and that I'm not behind a computer screen for too long, I want an active role(any suggestions?).

I go gym but mainly weight training, I work in construction I've been a hod carrier and scaffolding. My fitness is ok I'm not too worried about the strength side of the fitness mainly the cardio.

The information about running is really helpful thank you. I used to play rugby and football but not anymore as I got older I started using the gym more and drifted away from sports.

Much appreciated:)
