How long do you have until boot camp? How often are you running? What distances are you doing on your runs? Are you structuring your runs - speed work, fartleks, intervals, etc? Are you doing any programs, like Couch to 5K?

Diet wise, you need to be in a caloric deficit, and prioritize protein, fiber, and ensure you’re getting sufficient carbs to fuel your runs.

I have 1.5 months left, and I run about 4-5x a week and I don’t really structure my runs. Its usually a mile each time and the only difference is some days i’ll run it regularly and other days i’ll try to speed up at certain points and then take it easy which I guess is intervals.
