I'm with Hitman on the distance one. I have found that running longer distances slows your 1.5 miler right down because your body gets used to running at slower paces to complete the longer runs. If you want to improve your 1.5 miles you must do 20-30 min runs using fartlek. Not running 10 miles etc. Sprinting improves your speed and recovery, long distances improve endurance and you don't want that for selection. I believe the army will improve your endurance when they see fit. 3mile run maximum!! before entry>
by running a 10 miler it will not slow down your 1.5 atall, it will build ur CO2 max, and build your leg muscles
it might make it slower because you will be running the 1.5 at ur 10 mile pase, but mate at ADSC ( no training ) i ran 8.58.
im running 8 milers 4 times a week and im down to 8.30 mark.
its better to train for both
Fartlek improves shorter runs quicker and more than endurance ones, fact mate. If you don't practice your sprinting your improvement will be alot slower. As for your 8 milers.....You say you never trained at all before ADSC and got 8.58. Does that not tell you that you have improved your time by 28 seconds because you have actually started training......I think so. It would be false saying that running longer distances improves shorter sprints quicker than fartlek.
hope i pass this time aswell ill be over the mooon.
