From what I have read it sounds like you have some grueling tasks to complete. I remember my Black Belt grading very well and despite being pushed to my absolute limits, it was all worth it! I read that you are intending on running to get your fitness up. This may or may not be a good thing as it will increase your fitness but may place further stress on your ankles and knees. You may wish to explore using the Tabata Protocol: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1608/is_5_20/ai_n6011850 The Tabata Protocol will increase your aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Plus the protocol can be used on most types of exercise (running, cycling, punching bag etc) and only lasts 20 mins. You may also wish to explore some of Matt Furey's exercises in his self published Combat Conditioning http://www.mattfurey.com/. Matt is a Martial Artist as well and although I don't agree with all his philosophies or aproaches some of his recommended exercises like Hindu Squats, Hindu Push Ups and Bear crawls strenghten and condition the muscles that martial artists rely on. I hope this info helps you on your path to your Black Belt. Best Regards, Paul. Hi Marc,
