I hear ya...we have an officer that is training for a 50 miler and she runs like a gazelle!
I just got released to run again today finally. I am maxed a 1.5 miles for the next 2 weeks but thats all I need for the final lawfit so I can live with that.

how does the lawfit work? Is it like the popat?
Lawfit is a test based on a seies of events. You must score a minimum score of 200 to graduate.
The events are:
Pull ups
Sit ups
Bench Press
Sit and reach
1.5 Mile run.
When I started I was a 174. Prior to tweaking my knee I was up to a 235. I havent been able to run for 6 weeks and I only have until July 1st. Not sure where I'll end up.

cool. I wish we could do that one instead of the popat.
Nope, Roanoke City. Trooper School would be a cake walk!
They wish they could hang with us!

NC must be different tha AL. We have to pass the PT standards on the first day or we get kicked. We only have about 4 weeks left on the MPD 2009-A side, the state class(minimum standards) graduates in a week
its crazy the BLET instructor said as long as we show improvement we will pass the pt part but we have to pass the popat in under 7 min 20 sec. whats funny the ex trooper teaching the PT class said a good run isnt good unless someone is throuing the hell up
We had to do that on the first day. Then we have to do it at the end and once in the middle to see how we are doing. a lot of peopel sandbag it at first so it shows more gain.
<---Not much of a sandbagger.
Too dumb I guess

yea same here. But you could tell somethign was up when they walked most of the run. But then again most of them were way outta shape
WALK????
Here...Walk=I QUIT=I RESIGN=CLEAN OUT YOUR LOCKER AND FIND A NEW JOB=TODAY
Here...Walk=I QUIT=I RESIGN=CLEAN OUT YOUR LOCKER AND FIND A NEW JOB=TODAY
pretty much the same way here at MPD
i dont think im going to sandbag. even though i thought about it im not. whats some of yalls times and how many push ups and sit ups? Ill post up mine when we finish
I was in terrible shape until I decided to pursue this career. I worked for Citi-Bank making more than double what I make now and just plain had it easy.
Minimum passing score is 200.
I started with 0 pullups 40 situps, 12:58 1.5 mile run, 155lb bench and i cant remember the sit and reach...total score...174
Prior to my knee injury I was down to 10:13 on the 1.5 mile, 9 pull ups, 53 sit ups, 205lb bench and whatever on the sit n reach...total score 235.
I have 2 weeks before final lawfit and dont know where I will fall with my 6 weeks of light duty I just came off of. Gotta push hard to the finish and just hoping the knee holds out. I've come too far to fail now. Oh yeah, I weighed 260 when I started running prior to the academy, now I am down to 206 and shooting for 200 by July 1st.

You are a tool!
Just kidding! Good starting point. If you PT like we do it will be heavey pt for the 1st 1/2, drop off some in the 3rd 1/4 and then really drop off in the last 1/4.
We finished Radar school today. We have regular classes next week then its pretty much all PBT's from there on.
4 weeks and 1 day remaining!
Then the real abuse begins!
