That's an excellent goal! I quit smoking over 3 months ago - perhaps I could see if I could pass my old South African Defense Force fitness test

And so it begins.....

I've been using an app called "Ease Into 5K" to work into the 3 mile run and it's working well! Once I'm at the point that I can go 3 miles in relative comfort, I'll start interval training to better my times.

I've got another app that I use for situps that break down your workouts into sets to be performed everyday with short breaks between sets (It's by Runtastic if anyone is interested).

My first goal is to pass the PFT with a third class score: 65 out of 300

Minimums for my age group are:
Pull-ups--3
Crunches--40 in two minutes
3 mile run--33:00

Come on AndyC........Join me!
