Upper body and core strength is often the problem, and running is no real indicator -particularly of course for upper body.

I recall an officer I knew when the Fitness Test was introduced. He ran marathons but struggled to do a single press up. Built like a racing snake, but with arms and legs like pipe-cleaners.

Was he fit? Discuss.
