Please share your suggestions/advice for the best way to prep for Army APFT (primarily the 2 mile run):
order of test-
2 min of push-ups: do as many as possible
2 min of sit-ps: again do as many as possible
2 mil run for time
10 min of rest between each event
last one I did-last week:
69 push ups/85 sit-ups/13:16 2 mile--I know I can do a lot better; I want to shave about 60 seconds from my run time _________________ "I can only be beaten 2 ways, if I die or if I quit"

Let's see, you posted duplicate topics to two forums and emailed me the identical question. You've sufficiently annoyed me to the point I won't be answering it... :t-: Let's hope someone else is in a more forgiving mood than I.

As a former Air Force officer I will be more forgiving with a soldier than our esteemed pontificator.
What is your level of training now? For endurance you should be doing a 4 miler every week and for the speed aspect some 400s at 90 seconds would give you some leg speed to improve your time. I would also suggest some runs that "bridge the gap" between the speed workouts and endurance workouts. (same kind of topic we have going with Jafar)
You want to improve on a 13:16 which is a 6:38 pace. Try a "mini" tempo run of a one mile warm up, a mile and a half at sub 6:45 and then a mile cool down. Good luck. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |
