Hey everyone!
Not sure where to put this, let me know if here is wrong.
I tested a couple months ago after really sticking with my training, and was unable to pass the running portion of my test (by a minute 15). I went back this past weekend, after a couple more months of training (because we are allowed 2 re-tests), and still couldn't get it (I don't know my time, but it was similar to before)...does anyone have advice? I have asked professional runners, friends, Google, but maybe I just haven't found the right advice for me.
We need to do 1.5 miles in 14:46. I am female, but the standards are the same for both genders. Some people think that's tough, some thinks it's "cruising" and perfectly easy, but to each their own. I am not overweight and my legs are powerful, but the breathing and propelling forward/stride is what's getting me. I could do squats all day.
It's frustrating because people see me not passing it twice as "not wanting it enough" or "not trying hard", but that's not the case. This is my dream, my passion, my future; I am just not a runner.
Any and all advice is welcome!
