Invited along by Paul Telling to take part in the Team Evolution Fitness & Assessment Weekend @ RAF Brize Norton.  What an amazing weekend.

Day 1 included welcome and aims of the weekend and plans and aims for the programme. Assault courses (I did take it easy with my knee) lead by RAF PT Instructor Greg (amazingly fit instructor), chance to take off, fly and land in a £15m Hercules Flight Simulator, and team building and development skills with Greg.  Day completed with a BBQ at the Officers Mess.

Tug of War between Evolution Staff and Athletes – best of 3, we did it in two pulls ! Ed Drake in full combats. Private U12 coaching from Greg.

Hercules Flight Simulator – wonder what happens when you crash land – found out very quickly on trying to land – screen goes red !

Take off from Las Vegas Airport.

Team building activities and games. 10 minute static push up position for talking when Greg was talking ! Must learn.

Day 2 fitness and agility testing, decremental runs, video’d posture and stretches and Greg teaching us how to climb properly. I was having to run the decremental run on my own, so Dad ran (and BEAT ME ! – edited by Dad) Run 1 and Run 3, with Paul T running the other Runs!

Amazing weekend, great set of Athletes and Evolution Staff, and big thanks to Jack’s Dad Martin who organised all the weekend at RAF Brize Norton.

Big thanks to the Lloyds for letting Zac and I stay over and feeding us !
