As part of my recruiting process to get back into the RAF Ive got to run 1 1/2 miles(2.4k) on a treadmill. Ive got to do this under 13.30mins. Sounds easy. But Im struggling to do it.
Ive been practicing running outside for the last few months, and can do the required distance on grass or pavement in under 12 1/2 mins(its not easy or comfortable but I can do it)
But the last two weeks or so Ive started trying on the treadmill and its hideous. It seems like Im having to run much faster than I usually do, My lower calfs(soleus?) start to ache like mad, and my chest feels tight as hell. I need to run at 11.4kmh to do the run in the time.
Has anyone got any tips to help please?
I would be most grateful.
Timescale to get myself good enough to take the test, is probably 4 weeks or so.
many thanks
