Okay guys, just took the test this morning, which was my last
time to pass. I did 12:15. not impressive by any means but 2 months
off NS is 2 months off NS. thanks for all the advice given in this
thread, much appreciated.
Just for the benefit of those who may in the same situation
as me in future and happen to read this thread , i'd like to
share my running times building up to the test today.
First time: 14:05 (with anke weights)
then i did interval training for
the rest of the first week. 2x1.2km, 10 mins break, my own
style.

Week-_____________________________
Second time: 12:37 (ankle weights removed)
Third time: 12:23 (this was on wednesday)
Actual Test today: 12:15
I thought my strategy was pretty risky, leaving it to the last
minute to pass. But it probably work because i already pass 2.4
last year, so it was a matter of getting my cardio ready before the
deadline (this time no typo) is over.
cheers.
in interval training, the rest time recommended by mindef
website is the time u practised for the training per round eg. go
for 1.5mins one round rest 1.5 mins.
But our TS here took 10 mins of rest, does it affect the
quality/outcome of training?
