When I ran track, the best thing I learned was to lean into the turn because it’ll provide you with more momentum when coming out of it and hitting the straight. I’d also highly recommend using some sort stopwatch on your watch to keep your own time and to keep your pace
The best thing to do is what he said….run the straight and sprint the curves. I did that technique in bootcamp about a year ago. I struggled the entire time(MENTALLY) from the day I got to boot camp to the day that I passed my PRT the first time. IT IS ALL MENTAL! I didn’t run at all before boot camp. I mostly did cardio…like on the elliptical and I lifted weights. And this was a week or 2 before I shipped out. Because of Covid we didn’t get to run much…but you will run with your rdc/shipmates. Once I realized what I needed to work on…I applied that to EVERY sustained run we got while in freedom hall. DO NOT WALK…you will indeed fail. It’s actually frowned upon and show a sign of weakness, which you NEVER want to do. Keep applying pressure. The breathing techniques did not work for me like most. I just kept myself motivated, ran side by side with someone who needed the same time as me(still fail behind🤦🏽♀️) I never stopped, I ran the straights and sprinted the curves(there are 2 curves in every lap on the track) popped a cough dropped before and I sprinted my last lap!! Trust me this will help you!!!
Marathon runners breath in every 7 steps and out for 7 steps. Average people should shoot for a 4 in 4 out
Exhales for 7 steps, or out every 7 steps?
Thanks!!
Not everyone runs and breathes the same
I coach distance runners and can't think of anyone that can breath like that. Now I do know some that will do a 3in-4out cycle, but most will do a 2in-2out or 2in-3out. Some like the odd breath cycle because then their inhale starts on alternating legs. Some like symmetry and just go with 2-2
I breath like a whale, once every 20 minutes to a half hour or so
The breathing thing is what i need to get down and i would usually stop running knowing i can still go. And you're right when i do, tiredness comes on more than before and when my adrenaline calms its not so easy to go as hard as before.
Everyone should know that the air in freedom hall is dry asf
My nose bled and everyone kept sneezing and coughing after the PFA
@@aventuratamovil5233 jesus 👀
Is it better than running in heat and humidity? Cause if so, it’s gonna help me lol
@@joryaock I guess the lower the humidity, the better
I’d rather run through fire than ever run in freedom hall again
I was told to suck on a cough drop during the pfa run. Keeps your throat from drying up. It reminded me of airplane air, recycled
Honestly I thought you were going to be another young kids doing another basic series that glossed over everything. You reminded me so much of when I went that I can smell the hand sanitizer, and have flash backs of going to chow when they would reverse the line
Keep up the good work
Did the cough drop help? When I run I usually chew gum so I feel like that’s something I should do without gum being available
Hi do you count your own run or does someone count the run for you? Also, when I get nervous I tend want to use the restroom. Can I ask whenever or do they give everyone a break to use the bathroom? Im
@@AZFiiiNESt602 you will have a GPS on your ankle tracking your run. And yes you can go to the bathroom
You can have cough drops in your mouth during the test?
You can't have anything in your mouth
I was so nervous about passing my run but this video makes me so confident I wrote them all down. Thanks 🙏🏽
Shipping out next week. Super scared as I'm not exactly known for my endurance and I genuinely feel like I didn't have enough time to fit in proper conditioning. Despite that, your video gave me a much needed boost in confidence and a lot of the comments here are adding onto it. Good luck y'all
Good luck tell me how bootcamp goes
What happened? Did you make it
Future Sailor here. Pretty helpful stuff. Will try them out 🙏
How's the sailor life so far?
Thank you so much for this video. I'm leaving on the 13th and was a little worried about my run (I have a bad habit of walking about half way through then finishing) but the breathing should help a lot. So informative!
How did it go?!
@@fanatic002000 Amazing. Bootcamp was mad easy.
@@grayharris807 what about running? I have the same problem expect I cant complete the whole entire 1.5 mile in the certain time limit
@@thesomethingbass447 It really is half physical and half mental. Your RDC (just like mine) will tell you to not only think positive the whole time but to slowly increase your pace through your laps. I am a very slow runner (my final run was a 14:45 from a 20 minute one) so you don't mess with your breathing. Push a little harder each lap. Try to be sprinting your last one. Just zone out quietly sing, whatever it takes to just not stop. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SUSTAINED RUNS!!! Sorry this is long but it really does work.
@@grayharris807Im also a slow runner so this really helps thank you alot!!
I’m going to boot camp in July, my recruiter told me to prepare for planks and that sit-ups are no longer. He told me this on Friday the 15, a few days ago.
Spacefloater8802, true 👍
what date you will get shipped off in July??? mine is July 6th 🤘
July 7 🙏🏽🏃
14th!!
lol see yall there
I had an 8:45 min mile today I’m sure I can go way faster tomorrow
Train for mile and a half not just 1 mile
Thank you for the breathing technique it's been a hard time for me to run outside not in a running machine
I'll be going to boot camp on march 2nd, 2023. Thanks for this Video brother. Be safe! Hooyah!
This was the most informational video I've seen on this.. Great tips Aaron! 🤟 ;D
Sounds like Navy basic really pushes it's running over what we were req'd to do in USAF Basic, but AF changes length of basic, what TIs can/cant do & added in an extra 2 weeks for MREs & living outdoors & the gas chamber. They keep going back & forth on # of weeks Basic lasts & rearranges its requirements, + rebuilt brand new fancy barracks style dorms several yrs ago. I did 7 mile non-flat outdoor runs in Illinois State Police Academy (worse than AF basic's physical req.) but why, when radios & bullets accomplish tasks far better than running/destroying knees. In 1992 AF basic was 6 wks & had no gas chamber. I cant imagine what Navy needs seamen to do on ship or coast that requires such running, but I didn't do the math for ur PFA or whatever Navy calls it, but I've always been a poor runner, but very lean & muscle capable in all other tested requirements. Oh, screw the Navy swim, easy it may be, I lack gills & grew up near Great Lakes, but AF in San Antonio worked much better 4 me, plus I get sea-sick too. God bless those who do the naval thing, but the AF finacially affords to treat us far better. Also, in basic every other word our TI said was f*ck, bi*ch, a-hole & a slew of profanity so bad that it was fierce, but hard for many of us to avoid laughing. So what kinda basic are they running now, a no-profanity at recruits program, that's not basic, that treating u like a baby. We even had ex-marine DIs in the AF as TIs, all of them scared the hell out of us by us simply not knowing just how serious/real their profane threats were. We believed everything they said & it wasn't pretty, but that's what everyone should expect when enlisting!
Love the advice man that app will really help glad you recommended it for us
Great Video. Will definitely use that breathing technique 💪🏾💯
Just something everyone needs to know freedom hall is really dry so your throat will dry out really fast the push ups are easier than you think when you think of it as either do it or don't graduate on time and now you do a 1.5 minute plank not crunches
Thank you so much! I ship out on Wednesday and this has been the advice I’ve been looking for l, for months!
HighlyUnusual Yayah I ship out Wednesday too!!!!
Sarah Underwood what state are you shipping from?!? I swear it seems like I’m the only one shipping on the 20th
I ship out Tuesday! See you guys there
Racquelle W. you all should reply to this after
Update?
Thanks for the tips 👍 I've been in processing forever, but I'm finally going in next week. 🙂
Did u make it lol I’m going in June’
Freedom hall has a lot of dry air, what I did was wet my mouth and my nostrils, passed my run with that
This was so great man, you broke it down so good 👍🏽💯 my son passes everything did battleship and all but he is failing run after run,so he has a run coming up and the the final and he got a injury in his knee 🥺 so I don’t know what is going to happen
Not sure where your shirt is from in the intro but im from Pensacola! Keep up the work man!
Can you switch hand positions during the push-ups of the P.R.T.?
They dont care what push up position you use, as long as your hands stay in contact with the deck, and you dont drop.
And you have to break 90° and no sagging
@@joshwiggins2167 I graduated Boot Camp already. I am at A-School now.
@@lyndonlonzanida Me too.
No you shouldn’t do it
Hey i just join the navy and we have the same job AO. Could you tell me more about it?
Great video thank you so much for the breathing tips and telling us about that ap.☺️👍🏿
Thank you so much for the tips. I know they are really gonna help ☺️
Shipping out next month n the 1.5 mile run is gonna kick my ass
I run a 5 minute mile but I haven't run in like 2 weeks, I am kinda worried about the run portion but I'm more worried about the push ups.
You run a 5 minute mile you’ll be able to catch your breath before the next person finishes
Just turned in a blood pressure waiver due to high blood pressure at MEPs. I got two good readings from my Doctor, so I hope it's approved. But I am a bit neverous if it gets high again at boot camp. Don't have hypertension, but anxious moments make it rise... Should be okay though. :)
Just reassuring isn’t it six laps around the track? Also I’ve heard that sometimes your laps don’t get counted and have to run more to cover those is that true?
12 laps not 6, you just gotta look that the screen and make sure it says 12 laps at the end of the run, if you ran 12 and it says 11, run an extra lap
It’s 12 because it is a smaller track
6 on a 400m track 12 on a 200m
@@eddiesalas1392 wait do you count yourself or is it counted for you by someone?
@@AZFiiiNESt602 You have a tracker on your leg that counts laps as you pass by a sensor
Do you train before your initial pfa? Or is it just pdays, then pfa?
Be in shape when you first visit the recruiters office
I have a question pertaining to dental. I have a few broken teeth, fhey in no way inhibit my eating and they cause no pain, but would they keep me out?
I had a few problem teeth as well and I was nervous about them but I talked to the recruiters and the chiefs and they all say as soon as you get in your insurance kicks in with the Navy and they take care of pretty much everything that needs to be done to get you ready to train I ship out on Tuesday woohoo
Is the track a 400m or a 200m? 12, 400m is intense, but I can train from now if thats what it is?
200m, 12 laps
Great video 💯
thanks for making this video!
Thank You For Sharing!
Going in navy boot at the end of this month do you know what you can and can't bring because I don't know if I can bring my phone or kindle is that okay?
bring it it’ll just go in a box and you can get it back when u graduate
When are the switching sit ups for planks and how long of a plank do you have to do?
Not sure but I heard 2 mins but it will depend on age
Kristyn Jackson, I saw a “tentative” chart that ranged from 2:00-4:00 depending on sex and abdominal circumference.
What was the most consecutive minutes you had to run without stopping? 25? 30 minutes?
20
they aren't doing crunches anymore. they make you plank and the push ups have changed as well.
😮 Seriously? When did they change it? Gotta practice planking now. 😑
That has not been implemented yet
Ever load a 1000 LB Mark 83 bomb on a Tomcat with a hernia bar? That's real PFA lol
basically don't breathe for 12 laps, k thnx, got it
😂😂😂😂
Awesome Video!
How come you werent able to get into the Marines?
Tip: run close to the jaguar to make sure your lap is counted I've watched two ppl in my division get asmo'ed because they're laos weren't counted which cause them to fail
Jaguar?
Hope You give me Some/ a Ton of Tips coz Im Fat As F. and My Ship out Is May 19th 2021.
Did you have chaplain Keller in ship 14
That is correct.
How many laps do we have to run?????
That's what i Want to know
12 laps, 200 meter track
Can you drink pre workout before?
No recruits are not allowed to take any type of supplements, just carb up
When you’re running the mile run test can you stop and take a break and walk it out or do you have to run non stop?
You can stop, you will probably get yelled at but you’re allowed to stop
DO NOT STOP.
Sunny Santa Ana Jr why not lol
Calm Spacey stfu
@@TheSnaggyDomeShow lmfao I'm smiling thinking about you getting yelled out bc you can't keep going
A crunch is not a sit-up folks
No matter who you are you not gonna be able to breathe in freedom hall
I thought they changed the PFA
Not yet
@@USNAaronPereira It'll probably be changed by the time I go next year. (not to sound cliche or anything lol)
I have 59 days
Hey Aaron Wassup!
Do you still have to do sit ups or is the plank in action now?
Situps still
Jesse G, work on your planks now!
Thanks to you both. I ship out in about 7 weeks, I'll definitely be stepping my game up.
Jesse G, be prepared to do at least 2-minutes of a plank and work your way up from there 👍
I am like #300!
I hate people looking for tricks and shortcuts when it comes to any physical aspect of the military and i see this shit a lot in the NAVY. Just put in the work, stop eating shit and push your body. The PFA is a fucking joke and i still see people failing. If you cant run 1.5 miles or do a proper pushup or curlup just put in the work. This is why other branches make fun of the NAVY. We are the weakest and fattest branch of the military. Lets try to change that.
U talking as if someone can run straight without slowing down or running out of breath initially.
Will steroids or other performance enhancing drugs be a good idea? What about buying an individual to take the test in my stead? Is that a thing still?

You failed your 1st pfa, can you explain what happens if someone fails their 1st pfa
Nothing happened to me. It depends on how bad you fail it, you can get sent to another division
You also don’t get the bonus. Free money
Accept Jesus as the Son of God. According to the Bible, all Christians who recognize Jesus as the Son of God are able to be saved.
Read about Jesus’ death on the cross to understand salvation. In the Bible, God sends Jesus to Earth so that he can die and absolve humanity of original sin.
Devote yourself fully to God in everything you do. ...
If your confuse just do this if you want to be saved do this repent know that you are a sinner , believe that Christ died for you for your sins and That God raised him from the dead on the third day . If you believe it with all your heart all your soul and all your mind you will be saved by The Holy's of Holy's. Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
