This is why Marine boot camp, without a doubt, is the most rigorous and challenging, both physically and mentally, than basic training programs of all the other military branches. New recruits are also required to study and memorize an extreme amount of information, including: 1  Basic drill and ceremony.  USMC Rank.
There are basically 2 ways to increase your stride length: 1  Run upwards on some type of an inclined surface, or. 2  Run with some type of resistance behind you. (i.e., parachutes, flexbands, sleds, etc.)
Patience combined with persistence is a great combination for success in running.. What you should do: Whatever your present endurance conditioning, build it slow but steady. We like a program that adds 1 mile a week to your weekend long run, for example: 5 miles, 6 miles, 7 miles. Every 4th week, reduce mileage by skipping the long run. Rest and recover. The next week, start building again, 1 mile at a time: 8 miles, 9 miles, etc.
