For all of you runner folks

<p>Hey guys,
I just ran 2.5 miles in 15 minutes. Is this a good time? What are some of your best times and how did you improve your times. I find the best way to improve my time is to do a endurance run one day (run for maybe 20-30 minutes), then the next day work on sprints. What about you guys?</p>

<p>Yes, that is a good time. Being able to keep a six minute pace will help you greatly at BCT.</p>

<p>i run an 18 minute 5k, which is 3.1 miles... so you're perfect 6 minute miles is what you should aim for.</p>

<p>Yeah that's definitely good (compared to the average person, even the average appointee, I'm sure). I run like low 15's for 5k, mid 25's for 8k (5 miles), and 4:20 for the mile. I'll be on the XC/Track team, so I'm not the norm for incoming people... The best way to get good at endurance running, simply put, is to run a lot. As you move along, gradually increase distance and pace. I find that you can work both endurance and speed in the same run by just doing some windsprints at the end of every run.</p>

<p>yeah that's good, you won't have to run that fast in BCT since it's infinitely more important to stick with your flight/not leave anyone behind, though they make the faster people do satellites (run around the formation while it's moving forward). if you run that fast in formation you'll have some ****ed off classmates trying to keep up lol</p>

<p>As long as you don't get blisters from the boots, I guarantee you won't be challenged in the least by any of the runs. More likely, you'll be frustrated by the slow pace.</p>

<p>Hmm that seems like a good running speed. When I run a 6 minute mile that's it, i gotta walk haha.</p>
