Question

Answer 1

Start jogging one day then the next go for longer then longer and so on and that might do it.

Answer 2

just run to get good at something you need to paractice it just run that mile and a half do it at least once a day you should do 2 or 3 times a day but when you get used to running that far youll better at it

Answer 3

run as far as you can then walk for a while then run as far as you can then walk. eventually you will get up to a mile or so before you even feel winded. that worked for me

Answer 4

run every day, for 30 minutes, and do fartlek runs. google them (: they help a lot and target the areas of running you need for field hockey, since field hockey is all about acceleration and dashing to recieve the ball. basically, you need to work on your sprinting, since you dont have much time. go to a track, and do a 40 mile dash, and sprint a 400. jog the curves, and sprint the straights. & youve gotta be consistent. dont skimp out now! another good idea is to run that 1.5 mile every day at an easier pace and work up till you get to a 12 minute mile and a half, which isnt THAT hard. & the day before tryouts, rest up and eat a banana!
