1.5 mile run time NEEDS HELP!
looking to cut about 2 min off my 1.5 mile run. Took a test today for the P.D. and did it in 14:00 need to do it in 12:20. It is on a indoor track and 29 laps =1.5 mi. I did good for the first 8-10 laps and then I just hit a brick wall, I ran out of steem untill the last 2 laps when I was able to find a little juice to sprint them out.
I run on a tredmill 4 days a week for 10 min most of the time at about 6-7mph. I do about 45 min of weight training on the days I run. I try to eat well but, it doesn't always happen that way. I'm not trying to bulk up, or look like a body bulider I just want to see if I can drop a few mins. off my time.
When I went through the academy 10 years ago the time I had was about the same but the I only had to do it in 14 min. Now trying to move to a different Dept. they are a little bit more hard on the P.T. Side of things. This if where I have always wanted to be so I need to pass it to move to the next step. Please help, I have 1 month to re-take it.
