Excellent time for your 1.5 mile start sit ups and press ups next mate.
I work in a careers office and was an Instructor at Phase One (Basic) so any questions just drop me a line.
Oh cheers mate! Im breezing the 1.5 mile now! I have a couple questions if you don't mind.

Do you get to wear your own trainers during the run?

I can't find how many pull ups, sit ups and press ups are required to pass selection, I am fairly confident I meet the requirements but I want to be sure. And with the sit ups and press ups, do you have to do both in 2 minutes or is it 2 minutes for each exercise?

And are all recruiting officers as scary and intimidating as the short blonde ex-para at Aldershot?

Cheers!

Recruiting Officers SCARY????? Yes we are all built that way
You will be issued Trainers in Phase One buddy they are actually quite good, you cant wear your own because if you break an ankle or something then the Army isnt insured and you wont get Compensation.

Secondly press ups and sit ups at selection, just do as many as you can in two minutes. Remember think of selection as part of your Job interview. You should be out to impress ok hope it helps
Good lck
