Hi,
Im currently "in training" for the British Army - Parachute Regiment. At the moment my training schedule is as follows:
Monday:
AM - Run 3 Mile
PM - Weights
Tuesday:
AM - Hill Sprints
PM - Cycle
Wednesday:
AM - Run 3 Mile
PM - Weights
Thursday:
AM - Swim or Walk
PM - Cycle
Friday:
AM - Run 3 Mile
PM - Weights
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Rest
I need to be able to run 1.5 miles in around 8 mins, easy by some peoples standards but for someone that's been stuck behind a desk for the past few years with little exercise that's easier said than done
. My current time for 1.5 mile is a very embarrassing 11 min 27 seconds :embarrassed: :embarrassed: :embarrassed: , a friend recommended better shoes (I currently run in old worn out trainers) so i bought a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 2006 which im hoping will fit better and improve my running a little.
Getting to the point, Is my weekly training plan good enough to improve my running times quickly? The 3 mile runs i do, im not fit enough to run it all in one without stopping to walk at about 1.5 mile into it.
Should i change the plan from the hill sptints+swim/walk to runs so im running 5 days of the week?
I have about a month (or two) to improve, is getting my time from 11 to 8 mins possible in two months?
ANY tips and advice you can give will be appriciated,
Cheers,
Trooper
