DS used Stew Smith's APFT book to prepare for first APFT this past fall. He's an MS1. He has since dropped almost 2 minutes off his run by doing a lot of sprints and treadmill runs. If you set that pace you want on the treadmill it kind of forces you to run at that speed. :) Some of the Stew...

DS is a MSI, 4 year AROTC scholarship winner.
