Hey Pug, check out the renewed FAQ section, it has really been re-organized for the better!Is there a time in the course were they load you up with a heavy pack and combat gear, and send you on a forced march?
The Army's standard fitness event is the Battle Fitness Test, or "BFT." The BFT is a "Weight-load march" with the requirement
for soldiers to complete 13 km in 2 hours and 26 minutes.
Now, I have a question about BMQ running (I checked but I hope it has not been answered yet or is not in FAQ :-[)
What kind of surface do you run on regularly during BMQ? I have been having trouble with shin splints if I run on a hard surface or road on a regular basis. I even have special shoes to prevent shin splints, but if i push my luck and run on a hard surface too much I pay the price! If I run on a field or track, then I never have problems. Anyone here have shin splint problems and can offer some advice?
