My recruiter has made it sound like there's almost no running at boot camp to prep for the prt. I run three times a week, and I have been for months, but I'm just not that fast. I have plenty of stamina... I can keep going for miles, but I've never been speedy. At best my 1.5 mile run is between 15:30 and 16 and as a 24 year old female I need to be down to 14 minutes or less. Am I going to be able to work and shave any time off at all during boot? I've never been super athletic, I just run because I enjoy it. I'll talk to my recruiter at our next meeting tomorrow, but does anyone here have any advice?

The PT actually does prep you for the PFA. You will do a few sustained runs, with an increase in time as you go on. Just push yourself and don't slack off. I shaved off time from my run. Just keep yourself motivated and push yourself .

Before I got to bootcamp I wasn't doing good with my run, but the PT helped me get better.
