Training; bore (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drill

This clue is a double definition.

'training' is the first definition.
(I know that drill is a type of training)

'bore' is the second definition.
(bore can mean to drill into something)

(Other definitions for drill that I've seen before include "Boring machine" , "Put a hole in" , "it could get boring" , "Square-bashing" , "strong twilled cotton" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
