Testing in 2 months. Fastest way to master the 1.5 mile run?

Maybe you should test yourself then report back here with your time.

>>41679759
Sure. I came in at 15:15 this Wednesday.

>>41679943
What's the minimum time?

Answer his question you total retard. He's trying to be polite and you're being downright disrespectful. Spastic idiot. Get a life loser.

>>41679978
the minimum is 15 minutes of course. You run a lot more and a lot harder once you're in the academy. I know I can beat the entry tests, I need to get in actual shape for the academy though.

I have access to a gym and I can also run outside. I just feel like just doing it is not the best tactic, as I'd rather be moving forward than just spinning my wheels in place.

Run outside. Running gets easier the more you do it. You can look into some programs like C25K; just make sure you have proper form (pic related) since running is pretty dangerous if you run improperly. Start slow and run slow - most of your training runs should be easy runs.

Maybe get a friend or something to run with you, makes it a lot more fun.

Not op but i found that running with the "quick strides, not extending leg" thing caused me to have back pain when running.

Also you're slow as fuck that way.

Why is that a matter of course? 15 minutes is hilariously slow, you can walk that shit.
I clocked 8:58 on my infantry reserves selection and I was worried about failing.
Run three miles at least every other day and you'll transform that fat ass of yours in two months.

Yea I don't really agree with the cadence thing but everything else is good

Marathoner here. You can make great progress in a 1.5 mile run in 2 months. No need for a couch to 5k routine. If you can already run that far without stopping, you are gonna be fine. I'd run a program of 6 days a week if I were you. Run your 1.5 every other day, time yourself as you run and make sure you beat your last runs time every run. Days in between do sprint work and some form of HIIT. You'll make great progress in 2 months just doing that. You could also mix in a few longer runs but if all you care about is the 1.5 mile time, there's really no need for it.

cool bro, my last 15 mile run in the infantry was 8 years ago. I ain't running those old run-times anymore.
Also I'm 235 lb @ 6 ft. 17% bodyfat currently.
>>41680176
thanks bud, will do what you said.
>>41680084
just my gf, but she's 110 lb and cannot run for chit. Then I have my old Army Ranger bud, and I don't feel like being put to shame over and over again lol.

Do the 1,5 miles. Run at decent speed as long as you can and then rest by walking slow or running slow . do this every day and try to get the periods of rest down while maintaining the speed.

>>41680265
I'd run with your army ranger bud. He'll push you to go further and he'll give you a much clearer goal to reach. Also don't worry about being embarrassed, we all gotta start somewhere.

>>41679983
He wasn't being rude at all Paco.

>>41679943
Fucking kidding me bro? I run 2.0 in 17:21
Keep up the pace don't slow down to a comfortable place.

>>41679740
Always remeber to carry a pack of tisues. Believe me, you do not want to be reduced to wiping your ass with leaves or drag your butt on the grass like a dog.

If you are not used to runing, expct some new bowel movement, thus you want to be prepared when the urge to fond a nearest bush comes

You slow non cardio fags I run two miles out of shape in 13:20

Not that it's too hard, but practice that fuckin step test
