I was never a runner but slowly I'm starting to get enjoy it. I pass my PT but I'm nowhere near the 15:30 I need to max. What are some tips and exercises that have helped you or your soldiers shave time off of their run? I also want to start training a half marathon and complete one in Dec.

Well it helped that someone pointed out to me that I had bad running form and helped me correct it. I'm finally at a point where my heart doesn't race when I hear its a fun run scheduled.

Y'know what I go to when I wanna shave down my times for my runs?
I do Spartan Races.
total running distance is 3 miles.
Run 1 mile
After running the first mile, do 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats.
Run 1 mile
After running the second mile, do 75 pushups, 75 sit-ups, and 75 squats.
Run 1 mile
After running the third mile, do 50 pushups, 50 sit-ups, and 50 squats.
(If you feel like being super amazing, do another mile)
Run 1 mile
After running the fourth mile, do 25 pushups, 25 sit-ups, and 25 squats.
Make sure you are also warming up properly, stretching afterwards, and drinking plenty of fluids. Preferably water.
have fun!
This workout is recommended every once in a while. It builds overall body strength and will help your endurance for the 2 mile over time as your muscle grow stronger.
