2.4Km tips
Hi all,
For 2.4km training, I think I could one of those guys who is really one who was those born runner to a noob runner.
When i was 15, I did 8:59 for 2.4 but after drinking and partying in poly. I found myself running 13/14mins 1month prior to enlisting. Thus i grind myself(easiest way for 2.4km training is by running it)
I'll explain why in the next post. But after 1 month, I got up to 11mins which at least secure a pass.
After BMT, i was posted to OCS, I was running 10:40 in my first 1-3weeks. (Still 1 minutes before hitting gold) then we were told we will have RT if we don't get gold and in OCS RT means Saturday burn and RT is conducted by a Commando NCO who will really make u do stairs PT and run. So in the 1 week, i took up some advice from my friend who ran 7:30mins.
He said:
Step1: 3days before IPPT, carry out hyrdation plan. Make sure you're never thirsty and keep pee-ing(basic rule of thumb)
Step2: Stretch and keep do jumping jack just minutes before the run.
Step3: Be smart, don't burst all out in first few round. Follow a runner who can get 9:40, try not to be opposite of him. I.e when youre running he should not be at the opposite of the track.
Step4: Breathe in deep and hard thru your nose for first few rounds then when you're rly tired, breathe thru your mouth.
Step5: Don't ever stop until you FAINT, PUKE or DIE!
So i followed, and in 1week time, which I didn't train by running or doing anything and just simply follow that 5 steps. I miraculously got 9:40. Exactly 1min faster and ever since then, i never looked back. I am now a running back to my glorious days.
I hope this post will help those struggling with 2.4km.
