MPREP CO. (Military Preparation Conditioning) was created to bridge the gap between civilian and infantry fitness, ensuring every recruit is prepared for the demands ahead. We set every potential soldier up for success.

Veteran soldiers and Physical Training Instructors of the British Army, with UKSCA Accreditation (ASCC). The instructors have delivered the fitness test that all recruits will undertake.

To build strength, endurance, and mindset to excel in all military fitness tests through knowledge and experience. Leaving nothing to chance.

Plyometrics Matters for Army Fitness Test

The British Army fitness test measures more than endurance, it tests your ability to move quickly, powerfully, and efficiently under pressure. Whether you’re tackling the 2km run, navigating obstacle courses, or carrying heavy kit in basic training, explosive power is critical to success.

This article explains why plyometric training, high-velocity, power-based exercises, is a game-changer for recruits. From improving load carriage efficiency to reducing injury risk, plyometrics prepare you for the real-world demands of soldiering.

At MPREPCO, we design British Army pre-training programmes that integrate plyometric conditioning with strength and endurance work. The result? Faster runs, stronger performance in kit, and greater resilience to meet and exceed the British Army entry fitness requirements.

The All-Round Soldier: Strength and Endurance

Success in the British Army fitness test requires more than running fast or lifting heavy—it demands all-round ability. Modern soldiers must endure long marches, sprint under load, carry casualties, and recover quickly for the next mission. Overemphasising either endurance or strength leaves you underprepared and at risk of injury.

This article explains why balanced strength and endurance training is the foundation of success in British Army basic training. Endurance provides stamina for the 2km run and long days in the field. Strength delivers power for casualty drags, obstacle courses, and load carriage. Together, they build a durable, versatile soldier ready for anything.

At MPREPCO, our British Army pre-training programmes combine proven strength, endurance, and tactical conditioning methods to prepare you for entry, basic training, and beyond. Get started today at mprepco.co.uk and build the all-round fitness the Army demands.

Improving Efficiency and Speed Under Load

Preparing for the British Army fitness test means more than building endurance—it’s about mastering biomechanics. Carrying 25–40 kg fundamentally changes how you move: stride shortens, cadence rises, trunk mechanics shift, and injury risk increases. Efficient movement keeps you inside a safe mechanical envelope, letting you move faster and with less fatigue.

This article explores five pillars of efficient load carriage: posture and alignment, stride and cadence, pelvis–trunk coordination, force direction, and pack fit. It provides actionable strategies for flat ground, climbs, descents, and transitions, alongside strength and mobility drills that reinforce economy under load.

Whether you’re tackling the British Army 2km run, preparing for basic training fitness standards, or following a structured pre-training programme, biomechanics is the foundation of performance. Learn how to pass the British Army fitness test with proven methods backed by research and field practice.
