    What makes you say that?

    An email from police recruitment saying "We anticipate that all candidates on the 1810 merit list will be contacted no later than Friday afternoon."
    Did you receive the email? Or who got it!

    Was it not previously listed that remaining 1710 would be put through alongside 1810 higher merit candidates. More of a wait ahead now then... last year a person same AC grade got the call in November. Guess il not hold my breath for the same this year
    What grade did you get. I got High B just trying to compare.

    I do 4x a week alternating circuits and bootcamp. My husband keeps banging on at me to do the bleep test as that’s what he does to prepare for his PCAs and in the old days they had to attain a level 7 to pass etc and he passes if that’s any help

    PCAs are issued in merit order.

    Therefore PCA dayes will be issued to those who scored just below FT threshold

    I attend a bootcamp three mornings a week (they alternate 2 days are alot of HIIT, circuits alot of bodyweight exercises etc. and one day, like today, is all weight exercises lunges squats push presses etc. Its just generally getting me fitter and a bit stronger and at least if I fail fitness my ass still looks good from the effort lol! I also walked up Binnian on Sunday past and plan to start the couch to 5k (again) next week so will do that hopefully twice a week permitting childcare (solo momma). Recognise its alot less effort than most but its the best I can do with my time for now anyway

    Trust me im the same lol I tried the couch to 5k before my bootcamp and didnt last two weeks and it was horrendous lol wasnt getting any easier and that was me going at it 3/4 times a week I was buggered.. hoping I can stick at it a bit better this time round now Iv got used to any form of exercise other than hiking in the last 8 years! lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 31 Kbe173


    I cant run any sort of distance at all.....i can sprint and do weights but anything over a mile and I wouldnt even bother. I passed comfortably enough so dont worry if your not gonna be the next Mo Farrah, the entire circuit 3 times isnt even a mile!!! You've all got great motivation to be keeping the fitness going so early, well done!
