Increase run endurance

[semicko82]

I go to basic training on Sept 4 and I'm still struggling with the running. Any tips to improve on stamina and speed. The requirement for the 1.5 mile run is 14 minutes in my age bracket.

Do it more often and eat healthy while drinking lots of water daily. After a month you should see a significant improvement since your lungs will have opened up by then

It seems like I start to lose breath when I hit 3/4 of a mile.

Bluf run but do various distances up to 2 miles and as low as 400 meter sprints do interval training just do variations...Also don’t forget your pushups/pullups/sit-ups/crunches and dips calisthenics.

The military will get you into shape just try your best and most importantly maintain and continue to improve on the level of fitness you gain in basic.

Train by running 1/4 mike intervals.

Run at your desired pace for a quarter mile, then slow down for the next quarter. When you slow down attempt to lengthen your stride. Do this for two miles twice a week.

You’ll be good.

Thanks. Is it normal for beginners to have pain in the chest. I get a sharp pain in the chest but it goes away after a couple of minutes.

If you can , get checked out by a doctor to be sure. The least you can do is get your blood pressure checked , you can do that at any CVS

I don't want to tell my recruiter I went to the doctor to get a check up a week before basic. I'll have to go through paperwork hell again.

You just gotta keep running but I doubt you're gonna improve much in 1 week.
