What is YOUR 2 mile run time?

@BrunoEletrotec 4 ай бұрын

When I was at military firefighting academy (Rio de janeiro, Brazil) My best was 13:15 and to score 10 you should do it under 12 minutes, this pace seems impossible to me.

That 14min 2 mile and 200lbs 25% fat describes me perfectly.

Just left The Marines to go Army. I'm 6'2 and 270 lbs at about 22% body fat right now and the fastest I've run at this size is like 15 flat. I've put way too much emphasis on the gym. All that this extra muscle has gotten me is the feeling that I'll never be able to break a 15 minute 2 mile. Here's hoping that losing the muscle and left over fat will make me fast!

I started running/walking 2 miles everyday a week ago and my fastest mile was 8:13 (hated every second of the second mile) and my 2 mile time was never under 20. I took my APFT today and ran a 16:10 for my 2 mile. There was a couple ups and downs due to hills, but I never thought I’d be able to pull the time I did. Super pumped about my time today!

@Anthony.462 Ай бұрын

Good effort, The hills make it so hard. If you run a flat course you’ll easily knock 30 seconds off your time. Best of luck 💪🏻

Guys if you have an assault bike ( wind resistance bike) at your gym. Hop on it , do 1 mile close to max effort , hop off rest for about 1 -2 minutes then hop back on and repeat until about 5 miles. I did this when I trained up for ranger school and brought my 5 miler from 38 minutes to 33 in about a month and a half

My usual run time since being in the army . 22-23 minutes but now since I gained 20 lbs between AIT & being at my unit I failed the acft at 25:25. And I got about a month and a half to retake again.

Yeah, you still need to pt on your own. It doesn’t just stop after a 2 month bootcamp.

Fastest time I had was a 13:35 if memory serves me right. When I got back into running i was at 18 almost 20 minutes running my first mile at 8:30 and this was back in late feb early March. Now my time is 15: 30 with my Fastest mile at 7:30. I did that by incorporating by doing 3 to 5 miles but with the first 2 miles as if im running a pt test. I've lowered my 5 mile from 52 minutes to 42 minutes. A few of those runs I incorporated a plate carrier with inclines and I did a 3, 5, 9 mile ruck.

@teshki1449 25 күн бұрын

@SOFPrepCoach Is it too much to have 1 interval run training, 3 tempo runs and 1 rucking interval training per week? +1 day zone 2 rucking +full rest day. Maybe instead of 3 tempo runs I should do 1 tempo run and 2 zone2 runs? I mean, I don't want to overtrain and I do not want to give best of myself.

How should i set my goal pace. If i currently run a 16-minute 2 mile would i still aim to run 1:30 400m laps or something more manageable like a 1:45?

@davidj4804 Ай бұрын

I Run a 13:30 to 13:40. I do 1:35 400m with a goal pace of 12:40. This is the time I want on my next 2 miler. 16 minute 2 mile is 2:00 per 400m. Try 400m at 1:45 for a goal pace of 14 minute 2 mile. Closer to the test, I switch to 800m at the same pace. Also only 1 time per week for intervals.
