British Army Training Preparation

🇬🇧 United Kingdom — RFT(E) preparation

Preparation for the British Army Role Fitness Test (Entry). Three events: Mid-Thigh Pull, Seated Medicine Ball Throw (4kg), and 2km Run.

Who this track is for

This track is for candidates preparing for British Army (United Kingdom) who want a structured, progressive plan instead of guesswork. Whether you are starting from a low base or already train regularly, the plan begins from a baseline test so the starting volume and intensity match your current level.

What British Army preparation involves

RFT(E) minimum standards: 2km run 11:15, medicine ball throw 2.9m, mid-thigh pull 46 units. Standards vary by role — Infantry/GCC require higher thresholds.

Use this as preparation guidance and always verify current official requirements with the relevant official recruitment or defence website — selection standards can change and differ per intake.

Training focus

Your British Army plan is built around the demands that matter most for this route: strength, power, 2km run. Each is progressed gradually and adjusted to your baseline result and readiness, so the work scales with you rather than overloading you early.
