Is it realistic for me to be able to train for the PRT around July? I've not been physically active for around 3 years, I've been training pretty much every day since the 20th of March, I'm around 5'7-5'8 and ~190 lbs. I really wanna grind every day and hope I complete it. I changed my entire mentality, my diet, and daily routine just to be a hell of a lot healthier after struggling with severe depression/anxiety for years.
Depends on your schedule and overall goal. Workout is a good way to ease depression and anxiety. It’s a lifestyle and positive decisions into oneself and health
Hello, so just to be clear they offer an alternative to the run now? I can do the 500 meter swim instead of the run? Is the swim timed? I'm 31. I leave September 6th and have been working out everyday to get ready but I'm struggling with my run time and literally have days left before I leave.
Hey! Yes in bootcamp it’s the run, they will help you get to the finish line. Just don’t quit. Practice ur running- with sprints and running. You only do swim qaul in bootcamp, for you PRT is running for everyone
Thank you so much for the prompt response! I definitely won't give up. I've been making progress everyday. I've been able to get my time for the 1.5 m to 20:35 seconds. I know that's not the time I need to graduate or even be able to stay at boot camp but I've been able to do that in like a week vs being able to only run .5 mile about 2 weeks ago. I haven't ran in over 10 years but I know I can do this! By the time I graduate I have to be at 16:15 minimum for my age so I just have to keep working as hard as possible. Thanks for the advice! If you think of anything else that may help me in such a short time please feel free to share.
@@kyorijack sure. Also, you have to know you’ll have tons of time to workout in bootcamp and you will make ur goal. The recruit division commanders will get you there. There is no distractions, tv, or junk food so you’ll hit that time. Remember small victories lead to large success
One last question haha. You wouldn't happen to know who I could contact to see if a medication is banned or would disqualify me at bootcamp would you? I was prescribed Phentermine after I swore in and my recruiter doesn't know if I can take it at all or take it to bootcamp. I didn't want to get in trouble for it so I'm trying to find out directly from Great Lakes or someone who is up to date on regulations on recruits.
@@kyorijack so in the future don’t have your prescription on RUclips. That’s personal info. Hit me up on IG and we can unpack your workouts and etc. @evanduegreatness on IG
I do, first how often are your working out/training? When is your PRT? I’d recommend doing a mock 1.5 mile run first and having a baseline. Than interval training and doing 200m and 400m drills
Yes. Great question: you control the speed and level. It’s important to know your numbers: for age group and the goal is to burn as many cals as possible
@@evanjohnson4133 do u have any advice on how to reach the certain calories we have to burn? Like should I paddle the pedals to the max or minimum level
@@evanjohnson4133 yes right now, he ran 3 times already and he said they are going to be focusing more on the run,so I’m hoping they see his potential,from the beginning he has been really good passing everything except this and it’s not his weight because he lost an additional 17lbs since he got there in June but him failing the run messed him up mentally because his division got to move on without him and the graduated Friday I believe,so that would have been him🥺🙏🏽
@@camareonsmith4521it’s bs unless this guy can run with some of the best long distance runners on the planet which is doubtful, 3:45 mile average is literally blazing fast comparably about 75% speed sustained

Where can I find a chart that tells me how many calories I need to burn in the 12 minute bike? I’m an 18 y/o female.
On Google, type on navy PRT standards for women age 18.
Also, is this an option at basic training or only once you're officially in?

Do you have any tips for how I can run my 1.5 better? My maximum time is 17 min and I feel like I’m dying
I do, first how often are your working out/training? When is your PRT? I’d recommend doing a mock 1.5 mile run first and having a baseline. Than interval training and doing 200m and 400m drills
How does the prt for the bike work? U just have to bike for 12mins straight at any speed or theres a certain miles u have to reach or speed?
Yes. Great question: you control the speed and level. It’s important to know your numbers: for age group and the goal is to burn as many cals as possible

@@paulmiranda2k234 i suggest you know how many calories you need to burn and practice and train for the evolution
Great video 👍🏽 my son is currently in the Navy and passing every thing except his run, he has one last chance or he’s out🥺🙏🏽
Is he in bootcamp now,? The instructor will do everything for him to pass.
@@evanjohnson4133 yes right now, he ran 3 times already and he said they are going to be focusing more on the run,so I’m hoping they see his potential,from the beginning he has been really good passing everything except this and it’s not his weight because he lost an additional 17lbs since he got there in June but him failing the run messed him up mentally because his division got to move on without him and the graduated Friday I believe,so that would have been him🥺🙏🏽
@@Storm383 I know it’s tough, not to graduate with your division but the end results is he graduating bootcamp- no matter what.
@@evanjohnson4133 yea it is, and yes so true.I tell him refocus your mind and energy it already happened,so now we must move on!
@@Storm383 did your son graduate?
i do my 1.5 run in 7:50
Lol wth how
@@camareonsmith4521it’s bs unless this guy can run with some of the best long distance runners on the planet which is doubtful, 3:45 mile average is literally blazing fast comparably about 75% speed sustained
Is the swim, bike and row interchangeable for the 1.5 mile run or are they in addition to the run?
yes. is the simple answer. Are you currently iin the navy?
