What distance would you recommend like 50ms
Whenever I go jogging, I tie a tractor to my waste and drag that round the roads
Aside from that, I'd suggest you mix it up to the max.... 50m, 200m, 400m, 1600m reps... don't push it when the tank is empty, go for it when you're feeling good, focus mostly on high intensity short duration bouts. Don't get bored and most importantly... are the rest days
Then once you've improved, take it easy for a long while, so you're ready to go again when required
Not a HGV?

There's one in the resources page, and it gives some nice exercises to do, that you can rotate.
Some people thought they were a bit too easy, but you can always mix and match to do two, i.e. a sprint and an endurance running session combined.
Perhaps have a look at that.
I meant to say tractor tyre TBH... Obvs I couldn't pull a whole tractor

I grew up in a small farming community in the Midwest US. We called this “old man strength” where farmers would have uncanny strength from their farm work.
I feel like a few I knew could pull a tractor if they wanted to do so.

I find it difficult to get motivated for training and tend to get bored. I took advantage of my employers cycle to work scheme and cycle to and from work each day, bout 30 mins each way. I have to push myself to not just drift along but it does it for me
They're fine to pull around provided you remember to take the handbrake off. I regularly pull one around when I go to the shops.I meant to say tractor tyre TBH... Obvs I couldn't pull a whole tractor
I would recommend doing the fitness test in smaller increments and build yourself up. Also, critically, what is your strength training regime?
What do you mean by strength training regime? I've been pretty lazy recently.
Weights, calisthenics, that kind of thing.
Ahh I've been doing palates to help with another condition of mine buts that amount it. Don't judge.
Pilates are great, but they are mostly for mobility and flexibility. I would recommend hitting the gym and do some weight training. It is critical for injury prevention.
Yeah I was planning on hitting the gym this summer as I will have more free time. Any recommendations for weight training?
Stronglifts 5x5 is a good plan, and is a free app (with a paid option of £5 pm), very good to build up strength via compounds.
Sounds good
