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.)
Begin your tempo run with a 15-minute jog or run at a speed below your base speed, then increase your running speed to the fastest pace you can maintain at least 20 minutes. Once you've run at that speed for 20 minutes, begin slowing back down to the speed you started with and continue at that speed for another 15 minutes to cool down.
