the best way to get better at running, push ups and pull ups is to run and do push ups and pull ups.

If you get tired fast then run a distance that is comfortable for you. Say, a mile. Write down the amount of time it took you and the distance traveled (ie....1mile x 8min.). Then when you go to run again try and beat that time (Ie....1mile x 7.5min). Or you can try and increase your distance each week too.

Agreed. Also, make sure you run with good form. It does make a difference.

yeah, getting someone that knows their sh*t to analyze your gate can be really helpful. You may want to do a google search on gate improvement and see what comes up. Small changes to your running style will help a lot.

After considerable work, I have a pretty good gate...

Oh, wait, were you guys referring to gait?

I too am heading off to a military school, the Air Force Academy to be exact, where are you going?

I haven't run consistantly for at least a year (I don't bulk and cut, I just eat everything and stay at low BF%). So I am starting and I hate it. I'm starting real low, like a mile or two and will work my way up to 5+ miles by the end of June (when I leave).

BTW, I used to run on a very regular basis (1+ year ago), but I decided I like lifting more so I just stopped running completely and go figure, my bench, squat, dead and stuff shot up.

I dont do pushups, but can do quite a few. I just can do a lot from years of lifting heavy weights. I do do situps however. Just start out small and work your way up.
