Running

[mustanggirl04]

I run evryday with my two recruiters but I am not improving any. My main recruiter is starting to get frustrated? because I'm not making any progress in my running. I am still stoping in the same place and my claves **** me like 5 or 10 mins into my run. I want to sign with the National Guard but I know running is vry important in the military . So if anybody has some advice, I will greatly appreciate it. Also thanks in advance fo the info.

Are you running the same distance and pace every time? This may be part of the cause of why you have reached a point where you are not advancing.

First you need to really focus your before and after running stretches - with extra time focused on your calves if they are a problem. Just make sure you do not neglect stretching from head to toe. Second, you need to vary your running - both in distance and pace. Try alternating days with short runs and a higher rate of speed, than the other days with a good pace of longer distance.

After doing 4 years of high school track and 2 years in college I picked up some pretty good ways to get your legs going.
The biggest thing for calves is to go uphill. A stadium is ideal for this. Run up the stadium stairs, bottom to top, then jog back down and repeat (you'll want to do this until you cant lift your legs, then do a cool down walk and go again.) If you dont have a stadium available hills are good as well. Nice big steep ones. Sprint full speed all the way to the top, jog at a good pace downhill to cool down and repeat. (this is also done until you cant feel your legs, cool down walk and repeat)
