I need improve my run time fast, for my pt test in a week. I need to shave off 5 min in two miles?

Answer 1

try doing intervals. one day on one day off for 4 days then do the
2 miles on the fifth day.
for intervals cover more than 2 miles but do 30 seconds sprinting 30 seconds jogging. try to go harder as you go longer as research shows fitness improves better and quicker with a gradual rise in heartbeat. if you havent done any activity for a while walk in the off days and evenings for the same distance to aid the recovery.

5 minutes might be a bit much to ask in a week, good luck!

Answer 2

Good luck. There's nothing you can do to change your aerobic conditioning in a week. It takes a couple weeks to a month to have ANY effect at all.

About all you can do is make sure you have decent broken-in running shoes, and rest the day before so you're ready to rock.

If your running form is really awful, you might be able to make some changes there. I can't help you virtually, but if you know somebody that coaches track at the local high school, have them take a look at your stride.

Be careful about trying to do to much practice before the test. You could end up stiff, sore, and worse off than if you'd done nothing.

Answer 3

You need much!
