Sounds like your PD has a good PT test. Bad guys don't run for miles on a nice level track, and doing push up's and situps has never been part of the arrest procedure. Everything you had to do seems much more like an actual foot pursuit.
As posted above, the academy is just the begining. You learn just enough to get by. The real education is your first two years on the street with the old timers. Ears open and mouth shut will do wonders for your carrer. If you get the oportunity, attend Caliber Press' "Street Survival" course. I highly recomend it to veteran and rookie alike!
Remember, your primary goal is not to catch the bad guy, it is to STAY ALIVE for your family. Don't get yourself killed tring to be a hero.
A dead hero is just that, DEAD. NO arrest if worth your life.
So good luck! The pay sucks, the hours suck, the bag guys suck, but still, I love my job and the guys I work with. I would not want to do ANYTHING else! (well, maybe porn star or millionare, but nothing else) [(:)]
The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed on the street.
