I know theres PT every morning and stuff but;
How often do you run more than a mile in PT? (based on experience I guess cause you never know for sure) and did you do cadence runs? and how long generally?
The more important question:
What's done on a day to day basis? Like when you don't have a ruck or the obstacle course or the gas chamber or field exercises or anything major, what do you do? Is it classroom stuff?
(For the Army, in case someone from another branch sees)

PVT (Join to see) Individual experience may vary. They just changed BCT to encompass more shoot/move skills.
You will not have any significant down time and your days will Be intensely managed and regimented.

Formation movements and runs are a large part of the initial entry training. You won't go anywhere by yourself the entire time. At a minimum you'll have a battle buddy with you. You March to chow, you march to the barracks. File from the right column right! march. You get on buses/cattle cars, you get off buses and cattle cars. You run in formation in which cadence calling is a motivating tool. Helps take your mind off running. You'll extend the left....then PT in formation unless you are doing some sort of PRT drill (sprints, carries, grass drills etc).

Every basic training is different, it depends on your company commander/drill sergeants.
In my personal experience, we ran 1 or 2 times per week. One day was long distance at slow pace, and the other day was 30/60 or 60/120 (sprint 30 secs and rest 60secs, or sprint 60 and rest 120).
And every day you do conditioning drill

Make sure you find a short yet sturdy stick and put it in your camel back so you can roll out your calves. shin splints are going to happen and it will suck.

ANd they will usually write out a schedule on the board look for anything marked health and wellness inspection, or chaplins lunch anything that looks off. It usually means your going to get fucked with all day long and smoked all morning it happens on the last weeks of training
