Running
About how much running is done on a daily basis in RTC? I can do about 1 1/2 miles right now and I'm doing it about 4-5 times a week so am I good to go or is 1 1/2 not enough?

I think if you keep that up consistently and maybe bump it up to 2 miles a day or even 3 you should be set. Of course I haven't been to RTC either but I run 5 miles on a regular basis. It also depends on what pace you're running it.

The only run you actually do for distance is the 1.5mi PFA... everything else is either interval training, or a sustained run. Max sustained run was for 20min... distance isn't a factor... you just can't walk.

yeah like haasino said the pfa is the only time you actually have to run the mile and 1/2 in time limit. the first sustained run is 5 min. then it goes to like 8 then to 12 or 15 or something like that and the last one is 20. you can jog it or whatever you want to do. the pfa is all that really matters

That's cool. My last couple runs I had been doing about 10-11 minutes total, but today I ran for a little more than 16 without stopping. I ship out September 4th so I still have a bit of time for improvement, I mainly just want to go in an be able to do what they want without feeling like I am going to drop dead.

If you're a division yeoman at boot camp, or you just get a chance to look at your hard card (your RTC training record), you'll see the whole PT schedule. You'll go to Freedom Hall two or three times a week, if I remember, and that's when you'll do running, but it won't be every time. Sometimes you'll do sustained run, sometimes shuttle run (run 1 lap, do an exercise, repeat), and sometimes you'll do some other stuff.
