I run to cadence everyday, I guess I know it now. Not sure if it will help in OCS, but it sure does motivate you when running, I know it is making me a better runner. And I can use all the help in that I can get. The officer that swore me in said I need to be able to 100 pushups 100 situps and run the 1.5 in 10:00 to be ready for OCS. So I just run, run and run some more....
