Eliptical tariners may be good for improving your stamina but you'll need to do running to train to run. It may be useful as part of the schedule, but certainly shouldn't make up that large a percentage. At least 4 of your 5 training days for running should be out running.

I went on the insight course last year and thought it was well worth it.

i have to agree with jumpfreak. Get yourself on that insight course and they'll let you know what you need to be able to do and get you in the right frame of mind.

i went to the gym to day and after 20 min on the treadmill at 10.5 km/h i felt like being sick and i had bad pains in my sides my trainer says its normal.

Dont worry mate just keep at it and your stamina and whole body improves over time. Make sure you get plenty of sleep about 8 hours a night to give your muscles time to repair and impove. Also like some people before me said dont spend all your time on a tredmill it is totally different to running on hard or rough surfices.

Is that all ill make that 8 up to 12 i like to sleep
this has nothing to do with the paras but i just want to know so i have to ask. whats with the big fuss with harry going to Iraq. if its so bad then why did thay let him join in the frist place

[tom163]

I dont know either mate but with all the terrorists n stuff if he gets killed or kidnapped then a massive wars will start I think, but like you said why did they let him join if they aint going to let him do any tours.

and get your self to a prroper running shop it will do you to no end of good to have a proper pare of running trainners other wise you will end up with shin splints and nobody wants shin splints

i have a good pare of running trainners. I like to run in shoes with thin soles and these have very thin soles and my feet do swet in them. As the bit of the shoe that goes around your foot. Is very thin and is not the same as most shoes hard to say what it is. I only payed £20.00

Very thin soles really don't sound like proper running shoes mate. What are they called/do you have a picture of them? Trainers with very thin soles will tend to offer very little support to your ankles and they will cause you injury when you start to increase your time/distance. Shin splints don't just effect the ankles though, they affect your knees, hips and eventually your back. It really is important to buy proper running shoes like asics, saucony or nu-balance. They aren't all expensive but the little more you do pay for them will save a lot of money in the future when it comes to injury treatment!!

They do dound like running shoes, but racing flats, the key there though is in the name - they're for races. Everything else above I would echo, get yourself a decent pair of running trainers from a decent running store, these will have much more cushioning/support etc. depending on your needs. Runners switch to flats for races because they're a lot lighter but almost everyone will have something not perfect in their style and running in flats greatly increases the risk of injury to these people, acceptable in a race, not so on a day to day basis.

right i see i will do that any way to day i ran 1km in 4:30 is this a good speed or should i be aiming faster

[_chris]

You need to do 2.4 in 9 mins so you'll need to get faster to reach that

9.18 is the absolute minimute to join the Paras you should try and do it in less than 9.08 because if you only train to 9.18 you will not be ready when they tell you to run 1.5 mile with a 30 - 40 pound backpack on.
