But do they not still make you run 1.5 mile warm up 1st, then straight into the 1.5 mile best effort?

I done selection last week.. We done a 800m warm up as a group. Then after we started out 1.5m best effort. Its piss easy mate.

i started the C25K and it really helps!! gives me the motivation and doesnt make it feel like a chore!!

Wow thats really good can i ask how old you are hun as i am finding the run difficult x

My last one was 11mins 16secs, I hope to get this down a considerable amount.

To be honest twas 7.28 in the days of 1.5 squadded and 1.5 on yer own.

Now it would be about an hour.

Best time i've managed so far is 7.52, started training last november.

Would running 3 miles often help improve 1.5?

I tend to alternate between 5-6 mile runs most evenings, with a 1.5 mile sprint every now and again, oh and a few gym sessions when possible.

It's called Couch to 5K for anyone that does not know.

This is how I first started running, if you have iPhone/Touch would recomend "Get Running (Coutch to 5k) app. Personally I found at the end of the program I was running 10k. I used C25K to train for my 1.5mile run before selection and got 9.20 (got 1st on pre-ADSC & 3rd on ADSC so guess that is an ok time).
