I like your commitment mate . I’m doing the AEE FD in July my training is now mostly set in North Wales . I do 2 laps of Moel Famau which is about 12 k in 2:10. That’s two 555mts climbs . I’m 60 so carrying less than you though. I find my poles invaluable . Ive also now started to tab harder and run a bit so my hydration has become crucial .
That's brilliant , I go out same time 430 am love it best time to go out , bergan on with lots of lights , marching normally do 20km , proper buzzing when I get home , booked for June fan dance , good luck with everything you do ,

Hi, just wondered what your backpack is? I have recently signed up for a challenge in the UK and need a backpack like yours. But I seem to struggle to find those types of backpacks here in Norway🥴 Cheers
Hi m8 my son did selection in the summer he’s in marines and I went up the fan beforehand with him to do some routes, it brutal when the weather turns ain’t it but anyway he failed on final ex (endurance) the last tab on hill phase he was gutted cus he went through hell them previous days, what happened was he turned his ankle which he’s prone to 2 days before I think on an ex called day night day with one hours sleep in 3 days he said that was hardest part of hills for him but on the last tab he was 20 miles in strapped up and pain killers with ridiculous pain shooting up his thighs and fell and turned his ankle again had 5 mins got up knew it was slowing him down too much and got to next checkpoint and they pulled him off cus he was losing too much time and could see he was in shit state so game over he got offered a second shot in winter and said if he went through that again he would do permanent damage to his joints so didn’t bother, it was not fitness but preventing injuries, he said 2 of the fittest lads on the course came off early with injuries but he is a very fit lad and he said he’s never experienced nothing near even commando training, think he said he did the fan in 3h20 basically tabbed everything but uphill said it wasn’t too hard so u know their level of fitness aving done it yourself, sorry for going on a bit but I thought you might be interested in some of it, well done by the way for finishing I ve been up there I know how brutal it is on a bad day👍
@@bravogolfoscar no sas m8 he’s been in marines 9 years he’s in the anti terrorist squad it got handed down to the marines from the sas and a select few marines were picked for it because they had too much going on elsewhere and has spent a year in Poole Dorset being trained up by the sbs so he was given a lot of tips from sf guys beforehand also if he comes out he will get top jobs in close protection cus being fully qualified in CQB by the sbs
