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.

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.)
In general, you can add a mile for every run you do per week, provided you then run at least two weeks at the new level before advancing again. If you run four times a week, for example, you can up your weekly mileage by four miles. Then stay at that higher level for two weeks before adding another four. Rule 6: A healthy runner beats an injured runner every time.
