Thank you
So roughly more than half of the existing pool will be cut with tomorrows results. That's good to know. Does the PCA really have that big of a fail rate?? Is it very difficult?0 -

Oh hi there iamtalkingthroughmyarse
Is that really all they ask you to do?? That seems reasonable and straight forward; can't imagine why so many would fail that :rolleyes:0 -

lol. alright buddy.
video of pca is on the psni website.
in terms of fitness standards, considering the 3 laps need to be completed in just under 4 minutes or so, I would focus on hitting cardio hard but short.
i.e. hill sprints, or setting yourself a mile distance and trying to run it as hard as possible. if you can make up a similar circuit in your gym then even better.
All I did was several laps around my block of hard running after each gym work out. when it came to pca, I took the course at a steady pace (purely for fear of getting any penalties) and passed with a decent bit to spare.0 -

iamnowveryhelpful...thanks fella
I've watched the video to be fair but didn't consider it that difficult. I suppose when you're under pressure and cautious of making mistakes it's a whole different story. I'm fairly fit so it would be a matter of going a wee bit harder at the cardio than usual. Anyway, completely irrelevant to me at the moment. Will think more about it should I be luck enough to pass the AC tomorrow.
I thought they had done away with the push/pull though?0 -

its not actually part of the pca anymore. but you still have to do it immediately after the 3 laps.
guess they just want a reference score really.
it was mistakes and clipping cones etc. had me worried. I could have went harder from the get go than I did but reigned it in so I was actually concentrating on each obstacle.
if you are fit enough to play 5-a-side football and be running about the entire time you'll be just fine mate

Let's hope we find out early(ish) in the morning.
I checked the last AC result emails; last year was 3:45 and before that was 1:30 :eek:0 -

I remember the feeling in C1 when we got that delay email, I really hope it doesn't happen again.
It's looking like tomorrow then. I'm off so it will be a day of constant email refreshing lol.
I'm must try and not go on here before results come through. Nothing worse than others getting their pass emails and your sitting with no news
