Well i am not much or a runner, but if you are trying to increase your running time, you need to train. For example, if you run on the treadmill, try bumping it up a level for a couple of minutes. and increas that time every day.

I have also heard that wind sprints can help you out. I am guessing that it is because it builds up a greater capasity to breath and take in air. this would benefit you when you were pushing yourself to run faster on the treadmil or track.

This is how i might aproach it. I am not much of a runner, i do it soly for cardio and the fat burning benefits. I am sure some of the other members could help you out too.

You get what you put in.

Yeah, wind sprints help, you could start doing them for like 30 second burst then run at a normal pace for 1 minut then another burst for 30 seconds, slowly increase the time of the bursts.

What branch of service are you in?

I was in the Army for 2 years.

The way that I "got in shape" for the PT test, was running. I've always had a problem with distance running. So, for about 2 months before I had to take the PT test, I would run 3-4 days per week. And time myself in the 2 mile once per week.

Thanks alot everyone. Im really glad I found this website. With so many sites out there today that just want to take your money all just for telling you what you knew already...this one really excites because of all the usfull facts and the replys from people. Im currently in the Kentucky National Guard. Distance running is my problem...i have no problem putting up the iron, but that running is a ball buster. but again thanks!!!

I can see how the cleans would help his sprinting maybe. Makes you faster out of the box.
