Training for Police Physical Test
by Joshua
(USA)
I am training for a police physical fitness test.
I have to run 1.5 miles in 16 minutes and 28 secondss.
Now I am sure that doesn't seem like much but let me tell you how much I despise running... :)
Do you have any custom programs or tips you could give me?
I have around 8-10 weeks to train.
Answer by Dominique:
Hi Joshua,
Without knowing your base situation (what exercise do you do, what is your current time on that distance, how often do you run etc.) it is a bit hard to give you good advice.
However, a few hints and pointers:
Good luck, hope this helps you pass your test.
Cheers,
Dominique
