What is the limit for selection in the REME?

Question

I am trying to find out the time for the 1.5 mile run to get in the REME i have selection on the 24th July and need to know what time to aim for. Im currently running it in about 13 minutes :( not good i know but im out everyday and need to know the time to aim for?

Answer 1

Right now, you're running a little over 8 mile pace. I think if you could run between 10 and 12 minutes, you would be fine. You should do a combination of endurance runs 3 to 5 miles at a steady pace and speed work - 400s and 800s would definitely help. Good luck
