I got some work to do. lol
Here are a few tips for the IST.
To get were I am now I did the following:
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday -I do sprints for 2 miles... jog 2 light poles then SPRINT 2 light poles or something but it needs to be about the same distance. Or do it by time spirnt 20 secs jog 20 secs.
Tuesday and Thursday- I do a 3-4 mile run, and I do it at a slow enough pace to were I DO NOT walk. My recruiter says it this way if you walk, "you have quit on yourself and that you should join the Army. It's just as easy to do a slow foot shuffle jog then it is to walk but it still shows motivation and effort."
You can change the days a little and if you want you could do it sprint monday, thursday,saturday. and the 3-4 mile run tuesday and Friday. Then take Wednesday and Sunday off.
I'm sure y'all get this pics.
Another option is when you are exhausted and are struggling to continue jogging. Drop and do 10-20 pushups, this will build your flexed arm hang.
For the F.A.H do like 100-150 push ups a day... like do sets of them but find time to do them and your F.A.H will increase.
Let me know if yall have questions... I have no pointers for situps b.c my situps suck!!!
Thanks, I should start doing push-ups I can barely do 10. Flutter kicks are good for crunches and running. I 100% do not want to leave and go to boot in the cold!!! I hate the cold more than I hate running. lol I am working really hard! (about walking, I only walk when I have to and I dont really consider it walking bc I speed walk. which my recruiter says is good that I speed walk and not just walk.)

Thats AWESOME!!! when are you trying to leave?
It would be pretty cool if we ended up going to the Island together and possibly be in the same plattoon!!!
Just a few more days and I find out wether I get to leave then or not!!!
Hows your run coming along Devoe???
1.5 Mile Run: 14:25 (with sprained ankles/shin splints)
F.A.H- 40-something secs (didn't quite hear what I got)
Sit Ups: 45 :(
definitely need to work on this, before my ankles messed up I was getting closer to 13 min on my run. and I don't leave until sometime in October hopefully.
Today's IST was AWFUL my worst IST by far!!!
1.5 mile run-13:58
F.A.H- 70 secs (stayed above the bar entire time) :)
Situps-89( decreased by 25)
I guess this goes to show everyone has a bad day once and a while!
This was the worst IST I have ever run. It was a very bad day for me physically and my entire body cramped, however there are no excuses.
However, I got the bad news that as of right now I will not be shipping out October 10, 2011, as the spot has been taken.
But we shall see!!!
Good Luck to all the other female poolees hope to get to know some of yall better!!!
20120103
13:41 run, 55 crunches, and 73 secs barhang
My signature kind of says it all, eh? I'm hoping to leave earlier if I can, though.
Change of plans, I leave Monday. 20110822
20111114
20111031 ship out date
So I'm leaving 2011 Nov 28. Anyone else leaving in November?
Also, My FAH and crunches has improved, but my run time is getting worse... :( What should I do???
First things first! What changed from the previous IST to this one were you did worse? Did you change your workout, diet, body weight, amount of sleep, or hydration? I ask because all of this will affect your ability to run properly and fast.
However, to fix this make sure your diet is clean and drink at least 1 gallon of water a day to stay hydrated. Make sure your salt and pottasium intake is high enough but not to high. As for your workout you should be running 4-6 mils and this will dramatically improve your 1.5 mile run as youll have greater stamina enabling you to run at a faster pace without becoming winded. Two days a week do sprint training!
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help you.
Honestly, nothing changed. I drink pretty much water, and the occasional soda because I'm addicted and trying to slow down. but I work out almost every day with my recruiter. I guess one thing did change. The running course changed. It was a little short but SSGT changed it and it's a little longer now. I eat the same as what I have before. My weight is the same, and I'm still not getting much sleep, but thats a long story, and one I cant control.
As for sprints, I will deff start doing those because I heard those do help a lot. I am also doing flutter kicks, and something called 6inches to work my core. Thanks for the advice!
Ship Date: 20111212
IST from MEPS
F.A.H: 24 secs
Crunches: 23 (Really need to work on these)
1.5 Mile Run: 12:57
I'm also leaving in November. How much do you run during the week? Usually, I try to run at 2 miles (at the least) about 4-5 times a week. Your body will get used to the 2 miles and so once you do your IST, the 1.5 miles won't be so bad. Also, do you do your IST on a track? We do ours on a track where each lap is .25 miles. So, that'd be 6 laps for an IST. I keep a steady pace for the first four laps, and then I can pick up my pace a lot in the last two laps. I don't know if this will help you, but it's just what I've been doing to improve my time. Make sure you stay hydrated, too.
I try to run every other day. But with my husband working and my son not starting school till friday it's hard. I can barely run 1.5 let alone 2 miles. I am trying though. Once my son starts school I will have more time to run when I want and not have to worrie so much.
No our IST is just on a sidewalk outside our RSS. because we are in a small town and do not have many places to run. Also, seems like the only thing I drink is water any more. =P
