My problem with running in the Marine Corps was running too slow in formation! The whole slowing down and circling back to pick up slackers killed my knees and ankles! Needless to say that on average all the PT (pull-ups/sit-ups/timed runs) and humping seemded to cater to "little guys". I was about 145-150lbs (I am 5'11)and had no problems, a lot (not all) of the bigger guys seemed to lack the stamina needed to do well. We also had a Gunney that loved to bust out 10 mile runs out of no where. Problem was that if your body and preparation was gearing toward 3-5 mile runs, ten miles would wipe you out. Needless to say someone complained and they eventually disappeared...

I usually take the longest stride possible and avoid putting my heel down. It seems to me like landing on your heel wastes some energy. But for long runs like that, it might be smart to use your heels so that you don't strain your achilles tendons and calves.

Dude, you think running (track and CC) is bad on you, try football. Not only do we run 20 50 yrd sprints AFTER hitting and driving for 3 hours, but you have to lift wieghts. By the time most high school level football players are 40, the have serious backa nd joint problems. My dad was a tailback in high school, and when he was 39 he had a herniated(sp) disk in his back. The ammount of stress put on your joints and spine is way more unhealthy than running alone. Another unhealthy sport is wrestling. My cousin was dropped on his neck in the semi-finals of a tournament. The other guy was disqualified, but he had to go on to the championship match injured (he ended up losing rather quickly).

Eh i dont think anybody mentioned this, but try stretching better and longer before your run. This will help A LOT. Also dont run to fast in the beginning, keep a steady pace. Well everybody has said everything else..well good luck.

I thought I was in shape until I started RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program), which was the first time I was run until I puked. Spend more time on the road and less time in the gym. At 5,9", I went from 160 to 135 lbs, and I never felt better in my life. If you are stationed stateside, get a good bike. I hate running, so I ride 150 to 200 miles a week. There are usually organised group rides around the larger posts, and you'll be guaranteed a good workout that's alot easier on your legs and back. |

I am not stationed in the US....i'm not even in the US army....i am a canadian soldier.
laugh if you want...but our standards are just as high as the yanks standards are. I agree with them wanting us tough, and fit to fight on even past the objective. Problem still remains. i am in a deployment ready detachment....that means i could go anytime with 48 hrs notice.....what i see are troops being run and worked till they are injured and no longer suited for deployment. that's the issue. i also have pt induced asthma...that's why i have trouble breathing on the runs. And for those of you who liken this to football and other sports.i ask you wha your thinking....any soldier at any time is tougher than a football player, both physically and moreso mentaly.... Anyways, any military personnel here find a way to sort this problem out...because the master corporals and some seargents are open to suggestions in my troops....but they have to be just as rugged....just less painful....do you think swimming will corrolate to good pt? |

I doubt this is an option for you, but try to seek a "low impact" alternative. Things like aqua jogging. Like normal running, but you work harder against the resistance of the water, and your joints hardly take any abuse on the bottom of the pool. Or, these puppies: ok, I was serious about the first one... |

One unit I was stationed with alternated, Monday: Regular Platoon/Section PT. Tuesday: Sport of choice, generally basketball because most of us in my platoon played in the chow-time softball and flag-football league, Wednesday: Regular Company PT, Thursday: Off or Sport, and Friday: Battalion PT or hump. |
