Any estimate for the length of the longest run and how often?
long enough to break you
longest run depends on what squadron you are in...
During BCT, be ready for 20min self-paced run, then an "indian run," then a series of 1 minute sprints. It is about 45minutes of running. Be able to run for at least 3-4 miles at a good pace (7.5-8 mph min).
If you ran in high school, running here will not be a problem. Like raimius said, the morning PT runs are self paced, so it's what you put into it.
Wait until 2nd BCT and you'll likely go on rifle runs. Many of your classmates will fall out.False.Originally Posted by Texasrocks View Post

True.

Don't forget the Academy is sitting high at 7000 MSL. I was breathing heavy walking up a set of stairs!

That is true. Those runs were not pretty. If you have your boots, run a couple times in them over the next two weeks.
Even the seniors still breathe heavy after walking up the stairs
That's because of the Firstie 15.

If you're injured, a cadre member will walk with you. If you just ***** out, your classmates will pull over to the side of the road and get beat.What happens if you "fall out" of formation while running? personally, I have very poor running skills. Even though I have been working hard to get better, I know I will be near the back.
