For any of you that are in the academy or have gone through an academy would marathon training be a good base before entry? Marathon running is all about pace to the finish, not so much sprint or burst running. Sprints are included in training, mainly for peak and recovery, I'm just wondering if pounding pavement for so many miles is beneficial for academy purposes. I'm certain the running will not hurt in the case. Off days, I do cross training with cycling and or weights. Occasionally, I'll throw in a swim when I can find a pool. I do not have the financial means to pay for crossfit classes or courses, which I hear are essential for the academy. Crossfit.com was recommended. I would like to be somewhat fit prior to the start (I hope) of the academy so PT is not a stress and focus can be spent elsewhere. I have always heard be prepared to run! Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.
