I'm leaving for basic in 3 weeks and my workout has been slacking slightly for the past few weeks cause we've been trying to move out of our house. The biggest thing I need to improve on is my running. I've been gradually improving but it's my weakest point that needs to be improved.
Here's where I'm at:
Dead hang pull ups - Did 23 last week.
Sit ups for 2min - Did 103 about a month ago. My best is 120 so I'm up and down a little and might be under 100 now, but not worried about getting back over that.
2 mile run time - 15:30. My first mile is decent (under 7min) but after that I hit a brick wall and can pretty much only jog for most the rest. So my endurance is really lacking.
I'm just looking for some tips that will speed that up and prepare me for anything else I'm gonna come up against that I might not be prepared for. My friend that just got out of the Marines told me since I don't have a lot of time to run probably twice a day and to just go in and bust out two miles on a treadmill at 8mph every day.
Appreciate any help.:beer:
