Ah, progressl
By
I must say, today I was pleasantly surprised when I put myself through the Marine PFT again I actually found it all easier and managed to improve on last week’s score of 141.
After getting some pain in my knee after last weekend’s runs, I took a few days off to heal up. I actually saw a physio during the week who said I have weak glutes and a tight IT band which pulls my kneecap off track. A few stretches and some proper rest days later and today’s run was almost completely pain free, well in the joints anyway.
So on to the meat of the matter, how did I do today? I saw improvements in all three activities and put together a final score of 167, putting me in the second class for a male of my age. I’m pleased to have seen some progress despite only getting in two workouts since the last PFT, but I do wonder if that had to do with having a target to aim for. Either way, I’m pleased and aiming to raise my score even higher.
I want to get to 200 before Christmas and there’s an obvious area for improvement: the pull ups. If I can move that up from a mere five to double figures, I can achieve that goal.
