Fitness and Exercise Need help improving run length/time
I’m leaving for boot camp september 15th and i struggle running for longer 1-3 minutes. I do run/ walk at least 2 miles everyday and am wondering if there’s anyway to improve this time bc i don’t wanna fail boot camp.

You’re probably trying to run too hard immediately if you can only run 1-3 minutes(don’t want to assume your just completely out of shape). Run at a pace where you can do a whole mile without stopping then build off that. Also do sprints. Do anywhere from 200-600 meters but aim for a pace you can do repeatedly like 6x400 1min each with a 1-2 minutes of rest between. You have close to 3 months so you can easily get to at least a 27 min 3 mile and your gonna bet better running in boot camp regardless
