Unlikely combination at 3rd level Fighter, but possible at some point with too much multi-classing:
Mithril Full Plate, which gives movement as though it were Medium, even though it still needs Heavy proficiency.
So, with the Fighter Armor Training, would you get full movement in Mithril Full Plate at 3rd level, when they get it with Medium armor, or would he have to wait until he is 7th, when it would apply to Heavy armor?

I think this says it all:
Most mithral armors are one category lighter than normal for purposes of movement and other limitations. Heavy armors are treated as medium
It specifically says to treat it as medium for purposes of movement, and the fighter ability you're talking about is definitely a movement purpose.
Furthermore, the only reference to treating it as heavy armor is this:
A character wearing mithral full plate must be prof icient in wearing heavy armor to avoid adding the armor’s check penalty to all his attack rolls and skill checks that involve moving.
Note that this references attacking and using skills, but doesn't reference just moving around.
So, for purposes of moving around, you are wearing medium armor, and your fighter can do so at his normal movement rate at 3rd level.

I concur.
