Train, train, train before you go. Get yourself use to getting up at 5:00 a.m. and exercising for 2 hours. If your not a good runner then run every other day as far as you can. That's probably the hardest thing to get use to at first in boot. Make lots of friends in your unit. Don't take what the instructor says personal, unless your certain it's meant to be personal. Do what your told and don't back talk. Everybody get's in at least a little bit of trouble so don't let it go to heart when you do. After the first 2 weeks they'll lighten up on you a bit so don't give up, just do the very best you can and you'll do fine.

Start by beginning a running program at like 10 miles a week, and see how your knees handle it.  Run that distance per week for a month, and then see how your knees feel.  If theyre fine, then you can start actually training for distance running.\n\nI suggest signing up for www.nikerunning.com's training log and using one of their pre-made training schedules.  They'll tell you everything you need to know to begin distance running.\n\nI hope you can do it, because distance running is awesome!

You have to be really strict with your eating and exercise habits. Tons of cardio...at least AT LEAST 45 minutes per day, plus a few days a week of about 20 minutes worth of light strength training (gaining lean muscle mass raises your metabolism and helps you lose weight in the long run). Use 3-5lb weights to start. Put some motivational tunes on your iPod and get out there and run, girl.\nLots of water...cut back on soda, and limit your calorie intake to about 1600 per day. If you cut out carbs, you will only put the weight back on when you are done with your diet. Balance your meals. You will feel hungry at first, but stick with it. I did this 2 years ago and have not put the weight back on. And I have remained active. It was hard at first, but YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

running is an impact sport though not as bad as boxing or contacts. Don't start off running 6-7 minutes straight. Instead only run for about 2-4 minutes, walk for a few -3 and run a little more again. Don't try to run a mile the first day out because you will hurt muscles that aren't used to running. Run a 1/4 mile, walk 1/4, run 1/4, walk 1/4. DO this for like 3 days a week for a week or two to build your resistance and muscle up. Afterwords, go to 1/2 run, 1/4 walk, 1/2 run, 1/4 walk. repeat this again for a week or 2. Don't add too much too soon becaue you'll make yourself prone to shin splints or stress fractures or ankle sprains or arch pains. Also, when you run, USE RUNNING SHOES. Not tennis shoes or basketball shoes. RUNNING SHOES. What kind depends on you but remember this, you get what you pay for with running shoes. when actually running, pace yourself and try to hit with the heal and roll the foot forward and kick off with teh toes and plant of foot. don't make your knees stiff either. Stand up straight and breath in through nose, exhale through mouth. breath in, three or four steps, breath out. Good Luck.

start out by knowing your baseline-distance. Go for a run and see how far you can go. Use that distance as your starting point.\n\nFor weeks 1-8 you should run no less than 4 days per week.\n\nUsing 1 mile as a baseline example, increase your mileage by 1 mile per week for the first 7 weeks.\n\nOn week 8 drop back to 5 miles per run\n\nStarting on week 9 drop back to 3 days per week\n\nOn week 9 skip 8 miles, and do 10 miles per run\n\nweeks 10-13 continue with 10-12 miles per run (only 3 days per week)\n\nI think that after 13 weeks you'll feel comfortable enough to run 15 miles with some effor, but it will be possible.\n\ntry not to get discouraged and if it's possible find a running/work-out partner.\n\nin the first 8 weeks you should work on distance and not speed. This will help you to avoid injuries as your body gets used to the extra exertion.\n\nRemember to have fun and keep pushing yourself!

So many of my friends began jogging, then competed in races, after the sprinters and marathon sloggers we know taught them how to build up running skills.  \n\nLearning how to run properly may lower the risk of injury, and increase your interest.  If you can find a group for camaraderie, or a coach, you will be all set for the challenge. \n\n\nI won't run unless somebody is chasing me.\n\nGood Luck!

You need this: Consistency.\n\nAll you have to do each day is to jog/run 5 minutes. Gradually increase the amount. For example today you will run for 5 minutes. The next week you will run for 10 minutes and so on and so forth. Remember try not to stop because you will lose your momentum (or the strength) to continue running after resting. However you get really tired and you legs or hands aching, stop! Don't torture yourself. That means you haven't reached the right amount of stamina to do the work.

Run a lot; I assume your school year starts in September?  You have two or three months to just jog a lot to build up your aerobic endurance.  Each time you run, try to work on increasing your speed through sprints, slowing to a jog when you have to (or a fast walk if you must... just don't stop moving), and you'll gradually see your average speed come up.  A mile is a long enough distance that someone who hasn't worked on their running regularly won't be able to just push through it; you have to be at a certain level of fitness to run over a jog for more than a few minutes without burning out completely (obviously, at the opposite end of the spectrum are Olympic distance runners whose "jog" averages a six-minute mile, a goal I, unfortunately, will never, ever reach without lots of illegal steroids, the pursuit of a pack of rabid dogs as motivation, or an internal combustion engine)

Before you can get fast you have to have a strong base. Start by going on longer runs, maybe 4 or 5 times a week. And stretch nightly. Continue do build up your endurance for about a month or so, along with lifting weights... its important that you have a strong core, so do a lot of abdominal exercises. To become faster it wont happen over night, treat your body like your temple and make friends with your running shoes.

Well if you practice running a lot you will improve your running ability.\nI would run at least ten miles a week if I were you.

Swat and straight leg dead lift (hope you know what that is<<) every other day. dont run long distance that doesn't help with your speed just stamina if you want to get faster go short sprint with explosive running like a 40 to 100 yard dash. Time yourself and try to beat your best time every run.

Running is so very good for your lungs!!  I spoke with a Doctor several years ago and He said your lung capacity grows Immensely whilst you run!!!  (I use to run 6 days a week for an hour every AM.  Needless to say I was in the best shape of my life.  I am hoping to do that again in the very near future)  There are some great magazines out there.....ie.... Runners World....etc. Did you also know there really is a Runners High??? Yup !!! About 15 to 20 mins into your run Endorphins are released** Good Healthy 100 % Natural High **!!! Its proven !!! So keep running just make sure you stretch before & after & you have an excellent shoe-( I prefer Reebok!) Take Care !!!
