Read More »Wearing boots and pants, the maximum time allowed is 11:30, but you should cover the distance in 9-10 minutes to be competitive. Do not start off too fast on the first lap. Shoot for 90 seconds for a quarter-mile run around a standard high school track. Repeat this pace for 6-10 sets until you no longer have to rest between quarter-miles. One of the best workouts to assist increasing your scores in the PT and run is the following: -- 100 pull-ups in as few sets as possible. Run a quarter-mile in 90 seconds between sets of pull-ups. -- 200 push-ups in as few sets as possible. Run a quarter-mile in 90 seconds between sets of push-ups. -- 300 sit-ups in as few sets as possible. Run a quarter-mile in 90 seconds between sets of sit-ups. This is a tough workout that can take 30-60 minutes to complete -- if you can complete it. There is very little difference in the type of person who joins the Army Green Berets, Marine RECON, Air Force pararescue jumpers or Navy SEALs. There is one main thing that all Special Forces units have in common: Minimum standards are ignored, and they always push themselves to their maximum physical effort. If you shoot for these minimums, you are destined to go to BUD/S and just try to survive each event of the day. That mentality will wear on you quickly, and you likely will quit or become injured from lack of training or overuse injuries. Once again, you should go to BUD/S with high standards for yourself and compete for the best scores of the class in several events. Do not go to BUD/S just wanting to survive the training. You have to be more aggressive than that and not let the mind games and verbal harassment of the instructors affect you negatively. You only can succeed by channeling any negative feedback and turning it into a positive, self-fueling energy. You should think that nothing anyone will say will make you doubt your abilities. If you can do the above recommended standards, you are more than halfway to graduating. The next half of success is the internal drive and determination, coupled with the understanding that you know you will be driven to discomfort most of the time.
