1.5 mile run?

Question

Hi everyone. I'm about to take a physical for my local police acadamey and I have to run 1.5 miles in 14:08. My test is at the end of the month. I figured I would have to run at about 7mph to complete it in the allowed time. Theres alot of answers to these types of questions but I just wondering if someone had a little extra trick or advice that works for them. My calves are killing me after the first attempt.

Answer 1

1.5 really isnt alot im going to the academy myself. you have a month to do this. thats more then enough time. first week do a mile everyday. morning or night. second week do 1.5 so on and so on you gata remember you have to do the run AND do a obstacle course

ow n i stopped n took a couple of breathers while doing my run n still finished with time to spare.

you want to have enough energy to do everything so get use to doing 2.5

Answer 2

eat healthy, do timed runs regularly and push yourself. and don't do any running within 4 days of your test to allow your muscles time to heal. eat plenty of carbs night b4 (e.g. pasta for dinner) and try have a high energy chocolate bar b4 running

sounds a bit far to go for a run but trust me it helps
