Hey guys. I have a PT test tomorrow and I have to run 2 miles in under 16:36. I ran the other day at my own leisure through my neighborhood (some hills, lots of turns, crappy pavement) and came in at about 17:30.

I'm a bit worried about it tomorrow, what are some "hacks" I can do to prepare and increase the odds of my success?

Any breakfast recommendations? Stretches?

Always make sure your knees are up, when running.

Most people when they run, just kind of rapidly shuffle their feet around. Kick your fucking knees up, just keep your mind on doing that.

Former military guy here, that little tip usually cuts at least a minute off bad runners score. You'll also be less tired.

I think what this anon means is just actually fucking stretch your legs out and move forward.

Get a stride.

Knees up just makes you bob up and down and doesn't necessarily make you faster.

Breakfast - don't eat anything that you don't want to puke up. Banana is a good idea.

Don't stretch, just jog around or in place for about five minutes before you actually run to warm up. Static stretches are for afterward.

And train next time.

I always took aspirin before a PT test as I heard it thins the blood making it easier to run.

Unless you are afraid of having a heart attack during your run (and even then) this is a bad idea.

Aspirin will not make it easier to run. It will do absolutely nothing to reduce inflammation if you take it beforehand. Maybe after, sure.

If you get dehydrated during the run, anything that your kidneys work on will also not help you.

This is pretty spot on. I could get into details but a good running store or a track buddy could help you out just as much.
