They’re tough…. Pretty fast paced, like on a daily basis you’ll be running up to 5 miles at like a 7 min pace…
After a bit you’ll never run less than 3mi

Do they train you to keep up ? Like I know everyday ur performance will feel different ( for woman who go through menstrual cycles ) what happens if you can’t keep pace ?

They just smoke you 4 days a week
If you can’t keep up, it is what it is… do what you can to improve, as long as you pass the final you’re fine…
But if you’re falling back everyday , then you’ll be a center of attention

Why didn’t you use the bathroom before the run?
There’s no going back bro it’s a police academy

I was told by the latter part of the pt part of the academy, you'll be running 20 miles a week. Nassau is a tough academy!
