Hey everyone, sorry for appearing out of nowhere with this post, this is my 3rd post I think in the forum boards.
I'm getting worried about similar things. I feel really unfit and lame compared.
My weight is 127 pounds and I am only 5'7 in height.
When I did the PT in Knellar Hall along with the Musician trainees, my 1.5mi run was 11:30 (that was exactly a month ago). Last Wednesday, I run in Regent's Park and my 1.5mi was 13:52. I was really disappointed and that really knocked off my confidence.
I'm hoping to apply sometime in March so I have loads of time to get better but sometimes, I find it difficult to motivate myself especially when I feel like I'm very much alone in this in ordeal. Booo.
But yeah like Zoe, I think ARMY ARMY ARMY ARMY to keep me going.

I go for my runs 2-3 hours after eating and drinking, never suffer from stitches.
One time I had a fancy energy drink just before the run, pow, killer stitch.
Give it a try.

1.5 mile is low enough intensity that you can do it every day to improve.
If you're too heavy alternate with longer runs at a slower pace.
Remember you're supposed to run it as fast as you can, so you're ready to drop at the end, you should be puffing and sweating, not cruising round.
its only 9-10 mins of pain!

I Like what you said "9-10 mins of pain" that is so true but for me right now is 15 minutes of pain lolRA_Tom wrote:1.5 mile is low enough intensity that you can do it every day to improve.

Yeh my treadmills coming in a weeks time lol Im going to be at it 24/7 lol I will be going out to run but will be more on the treadmill..i know its more easier on the treadmill becuase its wind resistance but am sure its more motivating thanks to the onboard computer that shows speed, distance, calories burned and etc and all those different programmes...rikkles22 wrote:
