Nomak-54 12/05/17 5:58:45 PM #1:	What are some good exercises or practices that could help me be able to run a mile? ' I tried running as far as I could just to see how far I could get I got .24 miles in 1:52 (according to an app on my phone) Took a brief rest and it was hard as hell to run back, only reached .19 mi in 1:42 before my legs clocked out and I was walking I'm looking at the Naval Academy fitness requirements right now https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Candidate-Fitness-Assessment.php I had a much more in detailed pdf on my computer but it's really spazzing out and I can't find it >______> but anyway, I need some serious help if I hope to even stand a chance. First and foremost I don't even know what a shuttle run is. And what is a b-ball throw, do you actually have to make the basket? I guess that would help assess precision I have no access to a pull-up bar anywhere, but could I make a good copy using my closet? it's certainly wide enough but what would make a good support towards it? As of now, it's been awhile since I seen how many I can do in one go but I'm comfortable with doing 50 push ups and 50 crunches (if that's the same as sit ups) The thing I'm worried about the most is running, however, that's the one thing I haven't been focusing on at all too much since I started working out Please give me advice, Nothing would make me happier than getting into this school! --- "Is it a good time, or is it highly inappropriate?" - Alvvays http://i.imgur.com/rNCkhGc.gif http://i.imgur.com/BRGmYpZ.gif <cite>Nomak-54 posted [p:891653845] in Need fitne...

LinkPizza 12/06/17 3:58:56 PM #30:	Hmmm... before I take an air Firce PT test, I usually run close to everyday for like 2 months to get ready. We have to run 1.5 miles in a certain time. Usually, i practice by running at least 2 miles, but usually more. Also, always time yourself to see if you are getting faster. I'm not sure if this works, but some people like to do the thing where they sprint a portion of the track, then run/jog a short part before sprinting again. For food, they say that the morning before a run(we usually test in the morning), eat a banana. Also, pasta(certain type & I don't think it should have certain sauces) was good the night before a run. In the end, AFAIK, running is the only thing that will help you run any better. --- 3DS Friend Code: 4742 6214 5315 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
