Here is the last in the Military Fit Back to Basics – the 1.5 mile run!

Don’t forget that this should be added to your 2 minutes of press ups and 2 minutes of sit ups!

Get the Measure

Start of by measuring the route before you run it. The easiest way is to drive it, then you will be sure you are doing the correct distance and not short changing yourself by not going far enough.

Safety First

Try to find a route without obstacles – these will just slow you down – and ideally without a cross road. This is mainly for safety reasons. The last thing you want is to get hit by a car, and not be able to train due to injury.

100% or nothing

Give it 100% from start to finish. It is a short, but challenging run, so don’t try to save energy. The finish is never far away – use your mental strength to keep the speed up. Keep pushing yourself even when your legs are aching and your lungs are burning. It´s not much further to go!

Do the same route every week and record your results. You will quickly see the changes over the months of your training. Stay focused and give 100% every time you go out!

All you need is motivation aggression and determination
