Default Help Bells Get in Shape for a Job

So... finally i have a shot at a decent job.

I'm looking at a position as an Safety Assistant on a very nice company that mostly focus on Training and coordinating Private Fire Brigades for shoppings, malls and larger companies.

If i manage to pass the current stage of the process i still have a individual interview ahead of me and then a 2 week training course that ends with a Physical test (basically a watered down version of a Fireman's Physical test)

So, even though i'm oveweight my health is great and i have not a single issue to worry about besides my actual weight. regarding the course, i'm already studding to prepare for it.

...the physical test worries me.

I can do about 10 simple push ups, 50 sit ups, i can walk for 4 hours without burning out, and i'm way faster than people would think i would be due to my height and weight (i can lift up to 180Kg with my legs and i have 180cm).

My problem is this... i'm not very good at running. I can dash real fast for a good 100m, but i'm not very good on doing many laps on constant speed or longer distances.

And there is the Push up bar.... i don't think i have the shoulders for it. I've never done it before and i'm supposed to be able to do at least 10 push ups...

So, considering that i get trough all the stages up to the physical test, i'll have until the end of February to prepare myself the best i can. I plan on changing my diet and doing less Wii and more weight work, but i don't think that covers it.

So, any tips? I'm mostly worried about the Push up bar... and i'm not looking to ace the test (i know i really can't in such short time). But i would like to get the best result possible.
