you can try one round stadium 1min 30 secs, rest interval 1min 30secs.

when you're better, you can cut down ur rest time to 1min, while maintaining the one round 1min 30secs.

until you can comfortably clear 6 times while maintaining such timing, 9.14 is not far liao..

or you can alternate train 2 and half round aka 1km, about 4 mins. do 3km each time you do this training. if you get comfortable liao, you can slowly improve on each km timing or rest time.

like someone mentioned before, resting and training should be 1:1 ratio..

it's useless to throw in 101% and end up losing the motivation to train in the next few days. so it's better to do 90% and one week do 3 times. :)

I tried this breathing technique from the book, unlimited power by anthony robbins.

It does help to increase my stamina. + interval training

The technique:

breath in as hard as you can ( count how many seconds you can breath in)

no. of seconds breathing in = A

Hold your breath = A X 4

Breath out = A X 2

Repeat. ( If can 21 times)

Do everyday, sure can improve your stamina and breathing technique

if i do a 100m sprint, then 100m jog. 100m sprint, 100m jog, etc etc.

can ma?

If u really sprint 100% for 100m, then slow jog for 100m, think most people would not last more than 6-8 runs.

yes, provided you can last long enough

but if you can do in 12 mins, shouldn't be too much of a problem as of now...

currently my timing stands at about 12:04 mins with no form of training yet. i know it sucks alot..

how can i train to improve my timing and possibly complete it in under 10:00 mins not only for my NAPFA, but for my future during my NS..
