Failed the USN Boot Camp?

Sounds like you really need to work more on "technique" for your feet.\. Generally, you "roll" your foot to keep from focusing too much of the impact on one spot. You know in all those jump school vids where Airborne guys roll when they hit the ground? It's the same idea but with your foot. I hope that helps. I wasn't too sure how to explain it.

Use any technique you feel comfortable with. Its going to be different for every runner. The only thing that will lead to sucess is miles ... not necessarily long runs, at first. You just need to break your body into something it has never done before. Focus on a good running form and racking up the miles. It will come, but its going to take work. Quit thinking about it so much, just get out there and do it. The human body is amazing and it will adapt. It will hurt, but that makes the sucess that much better. Good luck.

Just my own 2 cents here, my first PFA with my recruiter before I went to OCS, I ran the 1.5 in 14 minutes, 2 weeks later, I'd improved to 11:30, and by the end of OCS, I could do it in under 10. You'll get it, not to mention, since then I've continued my running training, and now routinely do longer runs (6 miles or so) on an 8 minute pace. For me, the whole thing was just forcing myself to train for running. If you're 18, you really probably just need to spend some time running and getting used to it. That was what I had to do, and now, while I still despise running, I can actually do it somewhat decently now. Anyway, just my 2 cents, good luck man.

Indeed, but also be careful at first. If you're someone who has never ran over a mile in your entire life, don't go out and run two miles a day, you'll literally break your legs. If you look at almost every USN preparation manual, it is a gradual start. Even the BUD/s warning page recommends not running the third week in your training to allow for your legs to catch up. Take four weeks and indoctrinate yourself to running, then, as devil_dog says, giv'r

Passing the run at least is a great place to start. You are a step ahead of guys who are in limbo at 13:00+ minutes. You made it sound like you were much worse off. And you are already road running no less. Like everyone said, it's all in your head; a man who's will has surpassed his understanding is a powerful man.
