Struggling to improve your 2 mile run time for a PT test? You’re not alone. Most tactical athletes can max other events, but fall apart on the run. If you want to run faster and hit a PR, you need more than just miles, you need a strategy. The other components can be improved by just drilling them home, and practicing. Running is different.
