    If you are running on a track at a stadium try and get hold of some spikes. They give you the added grip on a track and will increase traction, help you gain momentum as though you were on tarmac. Interval and hill training on the runns you do every other day, sprint up and jog down a hill. good luck

    For one workout, 2 lap warm-up, stretch, then Sprint the straight away, jog the curve, and do that for 4-6 laps.

    Good Luck!

    Sounds like you've got this in the bag! I find that I'm always a little faster under pressure (in races, etc) so I'm sure you'll be fine :)
    Good luck and keep us posted!

    Whatever you do, do not go so extreme that you hurt yourself and are unable to do the test. Just keep running and doing your best. The extra weighted backpack or vest might put extra strain on your body and you may injure yourself. You definitely don't want to do that with this great opportunity coming up.

    Just an update....The test ended up being postponed until this past Saturday. I got in a good bit of practice beforehand and was able to run the 1.5 miles in 13:15, a minute under the required time!!!! Yay! Thank y'all for the suggestions and encouragement! :flowerforyou:

    Yay!!! Good for you!:)

    Best of luck to you! I'm sure you'll do great. Plus as a little bonus, I always notice that my half marathon times are always a good bit faster during the race itself with the adrenaline than anything I could force out in training.
