<p>Your name is Soccerguy, so do you play soccer? Even though I never did soccer, I have seen them practice and I know if your team runs as much as the ones around, you will most likely be good in the running. I would try to also get into the track or cross country team depending on which season soccer and season track/x country is around you. </p>
<p>Just don't overexert yourself, work out 4 days, rest 3. If your body doesn't get enough cool down time, you are more libal to tear something and also during this cool down time your body will build up new muscle. Although that applies more to heavy weight lifting, it still holds true for most physical work. </p>
<p>An easy workout though to help get you in shape is this: Do as many pull/push/ and sit ups as you can for a week. The next week add 5-10 push/sit ups, and 1-2 pull ups, and keep doing that for however long. With running I just started out with a mile, and then kept adding a 1/4 of a mile each week untill I got to where I wanted to be. There are also a multitude of push ups and sit/curl ups you can do that will work the same areas, but make it harder or isolate your muscles a bit more then the standard push up or curl/sit ups. You can do a quick google search to find pictures and videos of these better then I can describe them in writing. Another thing with running, is I did a Day 1 length work out, day 2 speed, day 3 length, day 4 speed. Practicing speed will work your muscles different then running length, and both are important in running.</p>
<p>The most important thing about anything posted in this theard, find something that works for you and keep at it. What I posted above is what I did for many years (I didn't do it just to train for USMA, I did it as training when I couldn't hit the gym on a regular basis). And even though it worked for me, that doesn't mean it will work for you. And another important thing is look at the average scores for the CFA, and try to score WAY over that.</p>
<p>Good luck on getting in when it is your time to apply.</p>
