Running

Can't go wrong either way. Just be mindful of overtraining, and injuries.

I've been running 7 days a week. It pays off for endurance and distance, but once in awhile your legs will be sore. I don't see anything wrong with running everyday though, especially if you are going to be doing it in OSUT.

Mule, give your body a break...how about just running 5 days a week?

Running everyday ain't friggin good for you.

Be mindful of your upperbody strength.

Short lesson...know any long distance running folks with decent upper bodies? Nope, running too much canibalizes your body...you literally eat yourself up, starting with your muscles.

Try something like running 2-5 miles 3-4 times a week, and doing a longer one once a week.

what do you think the best place to run is? I hate running on treadmills. I like the track the most what do you think?

Treadmills are good for when you can't get outside.....

Where do I like to run?

I don't. I did all my running in the army and as a cop. If I do run, it's to the fridge for another beer. J/k...okay, maybe not!

If I was running? Hmm...... I'd mix it up. HS track to measure speed on the 2 miler, at the beach, out in the woods on trails (watch for twisting your ankle.).....anywhere you feel comfortable.

You can take your car and measure out the distance around your house, that way you won't have an excuse not to run.

How's that?

in osut, which i attended last summer, i ran maybe 2 or 3 times a week, at the most. you do alot of other PT, but you really dont run all that often, just my experience.

I didn't run very much in osut either.

Devilrat, make sure to work on your distance too. Run 5 miles, even if you are slow, don't worry about "working up".

Well being that I went to AIT, we ran 3 days a week, not less than 5 miles, no slower than 7 minute miles. Then got to airborne school, what a fucking joke that was.

I cant remeber the basic class but AIT was F 2/180 I think.
Had basic in one part of FT Sill then crossed the tracks to Hollywood for AIT
