So I enlisted in the Army and am in DEP, and I'm shaving down my run time to at least the required 8 minutes for the 1 mile so I can actually ship to Basic. I've got a bit more than a month at this point and seem to have plateaued at 10 minutes. Anyone have any suggestions as far as running form or anything? I try to run a mile a day at the very least but I haven't seen any improvement for a couple of weeks where previously it has been steady improvement.

I don't know if it's just a mental thing or not, but instead of pushing myself I tend to just pace myself, slow down when I start to run out of breath instead of just keeping on even if I feel like poo poo, stuff like that.

First of all, run more than a mile... The 1 mile time is just to ship and you will never only run a mile in the army. One mile is not enough running to really build your cardio. You also half answered your own question. Stop feeling sorry for yourself when you get tired. Man the gently caress up and drive on. If you aren't puking when you are done running, you could have ran harder.

e: also, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Cut the weight to harness your true power.

I'm trying to push through a SF Prep Plan to keep myself busy during the winter. The weights and runs are no problem, but I'm dying on the swims. Does anyone have advice on how to get through this? Should I pause until I build those swimming skills? How does an adult get better at swimming anyways?

The best way to get good at a thing, is to do the thing over and over.
