It really depends on your current ability mate! I couldnt prescribe without measuring first! With my training programmes I firstly measure and then prescribe. I understands your current ability, your climate, your equipment and then only do i make a plan.
I’m sure somebody will touch on this but from my research I’ve read shin-splints are quite common. Other than the physical I suppose your mind plays a big part in flopping it. Get yourself fit and strong for basic and the PTIs will get you fit and strong for PCOY. If you get yourself ready for PCOY then go into training you MIGHT catch an injury that sets you back a bit. Trainings progressive so it’s fitter and stronger bit by bit as time goes on, by the time you do PCOY you would have done most of the events before on separate occasions so you’re going to be familiar. Mind over matter dude
Same question from me but also want to add on - what advice would you give on how best to impress the training team?
Depends on the climate, but ideally its every 4 weeks/8 weeks
You'd be surprised to hear that the most common failure in depo is NOT P Company. People fail prior as they can't withstand the rigours of everyday training. If you make it to P company then the instructors have given the green light that they think you can pass. They then hand you over to the 'gate keepers' (P Coy staff, external to your platoon staff) who decide whether your fit enough or not. If you are, you pass and you get handed back to your platoon staff, to continue your training/selection.
