No Wheels

Hey Fellas,
I could do sit ups no problem and push ups all day, but when it comes to running i am slower than pond water. I am just barely squeeking under the 12 min. Any Pointers?

Intervials, many many of them. Start at 200m x 10 and work up from there

Running Tips

I highly recommend you do the Navy's running program on the ocs web site. It fricking works. It sucks, its repetative, but I beat my Gunney the first day of OCS.

If you are having run issues check out runnersworld.com's 5K workouts and if you really want to work on your times do intervals as Neo states. Check out this website as it is awesome for finding the perfect interval workout:

Find someone who runs faster than you, and go running with them. The summer before OCS, the fastest I ever did the 1.5 in was 12:25, not so good. At the In-PRT, I thought I was going to roll because alot of people were kicking my @ss, and I ended up at 11:27. Running with other people does wonders.

Find a hot girl that runs faster than you, and it gives you incentive to keep up.

Come to think of it I've tried that last one. It does work, not to mention the view improves significantly as you catch up.

how fast is good for the PRT. I can do it now in around 10:15 or 10:30, but I know I can improve since I am not running a ton besides workouts playing basketball, football, and running occasionally. What do I need to get to?

That's pretty good. Try running after doing situps and pushups, because that's what the real PRT will be like. I wouldn't sweat it, because 10:30 is excellent low, which is the min. passing. You'll improve at OCS.

Some people are naturally more "gifted" in running, you either have the type of muscle strands or you don't.

I thought 12 was min passing for the 20 yr old age group.

 

[lotsoquestions]

i think he meant the min. for the exit prt

 

[VetteMuscle427]

I thought 12min was the min passing for the exit prt too?

I think that the exit PRT at OCS is "Excellent-Low," which is 10:30. I haven't been yet, but I'm pretty sure that's right.

One of our mids barely ran for 6 months, then maxed the run on his last PRT. And me pulling in a 11:55 after PTing 3-4 days a week for 6 months.
