You don't have to be a trackstar to master the 2-mile run. Use interval training to help bring down your time quickly. See you on the track: bit.ly/3IkkK0W
How to conquer the 2 mile run: Run, it's honestly isnt that bad. If you run a few times a week and maintain a decent pace, I can almost guarantee you can get the 2 mile run in under the minimum 23 minutes. I used to be a heavier guy weighing 245 pounds before I chose to lose some weight so I could enlist and I could still do the 2 mile in 22 minutes when I was that heavy. Now I'm weighing 212 and able to get it in 18 minutes.
@Bongsmokerton but you also did less exercises so you weren't as smoked. Now you whole body is sore before you run. Don't forgot that the bare minimum to pass is 22 minutes, 80 percent is like 17 minutes, and 100 percent is like 13 minutes. So if you actually want a respectable score and not just the bare minimum, then this test is harder than the old one. Your legs are already cooked from the max deadlift and sprint drag carry which is basically a mini run. All you had to do were pushups and situps, which didn't work your legs at all. A 100 on the old test was 13 minutes, a hundred on the new test is 13:30
@@kalebporter1529 I did the acft in 2016 when they first started I know it’s more exercises but we still ran the same standards as the apft so o was confused on why the min was so high but it makes sense
I ship out to Fort Sill next month. I’m a firefighter EMT full time right now and I’m not a great runner. I’m great with strength and short bursts of speed and energy but long distance endurance kicks my butt lol
By the time he runs for the test, he'll be ready. The Drill Sergeants work recruits up to greatest fitness levels many have experienced in their lives.
2 miles isn’t anything at all. At 16 I would run 7 miles a day alone at a 6 mile per hour pace without ever stopping. Just put your mind into it. It’s easy
2miles is bad. Just keep a good pace that works for you and get done before the time. Remember it’s more mental and less physical because if you believe you can do it your mind will tell your body to go the distance.
@@joshgadbery1873 It is 6 mph, I can walk at 4.2 mph at max, but 6 mph is running But yeah, 6 mph is not a quick pace, my zone 2 or low intensity zone is 6.5 mph and I can run for hours at that speed
@@NateAmadoWhy? No real reason to shoot for anything besides passing. Your first 4 years are free anyway, 1 promotion per year. It's after your first contract that you should care about your PT score

Listen to this ^

In the netherlands is 2700meter or a little below 2miles in 12 minutes.

If the time limit is 22 minutes to run 2 miles, that is super easy by running 6 mph for a 10 min mile pace.
That is not at a cardio level.
The goal is about 13:30
After 5 events, not many can even keep that pace you'll be shocked esp if aiming for 600
I can ruck that with 66lbs.+
I run a 12:43 2 mile right now

I use to max with a 13 minute 2 miles. Before retirement i was doing around 16 minutes.
In OSUT my last ACFT run time was 12:14. And I wasn't a big runner prior to going to OSUT.
That's about how it worked for me as well! Best shape of my life! LOL
Bro the allotted time what’s it a secret lol
I as a runner can run a 2 mile in 11:30 if you out tineninto working on speed with a little bit of distance then youll do great

Here's how you conquer the 2 mile run...... DON'T RUN IT!!!
DONT BE GIVING THE CHEATS LIKE THAT! 😂😂
Now that's cheating...and an instant 0. LOL 😂
@@nationalguard 😆 that's why you make sure you have a cool Sgt, so he can give you the cutoff mark score! 🤭
TRUTH!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
I can run sub 20 min 5k, it is like 3.2 miles, so I think I can run 2 miles sub 12
For soccer I have to do 2 miles in under 15:30
My son isn’t a runner 😮oh no
What happens if you can’t do it the first time or the second time?

That’s ok
@@theonikanone9142when I was 12 I ran 12:21
