Marine Boot Camp Prep: 3 mile run - DelandoBrad

[brutalback]

Hey guys, I'm shipping to MCRD San Diego on August 6th, and I was wondering whether I should just run timed 3 mile runs in order to improve my time, or if I should do interval training. Any advice on what will yield the best results the quickest?

[MrHerreraWhite]

@DelandoBrad Just did the work-out beast mode. Boots made it more difficult but I see what it helps. You should do more videos soon

[Byniabynia]

treadmill give a good workout? and if i do, should i make it the steepest setting right away or work up to it?

[LastXdeth]

@Byniabynia Run on outside on real ground everytime you get the chance. Gains on the treadmill cannot directly translated to gains from running on real concrete.

I'm not overweight but I don't eat in good habits is that part of the recruit physical?

[DelandoBrad]

@xcookiemonsterstudio

Your weight has to be within your height standards

[xcookiemonsterstudio]

@DelandoBrad Ok

[deltalaxbro43]

i was just wondering because im plannini on joining with in the coming months what was about the average distance you ran during boot camp on a daily basis so that i can best prepare myself thanks.

[USMCforlife995]

[DelandoBrad]

This is the boring mental pic I have stuck N my head, If u can hlp me fig out wat its really like

[KalkaraFTW]

Im only 12 but ive got my mind set on Marine Corps. What is the minimum age requirement to go to recruit training. I know its not gonna be for 8 years or so. Or what do you recommend too. You said you were 26 when you went to boot camp. So how long is recruit training too?

[DelandoBrad]

@KalkaraFTW

17 with parental consent to join. Boot camp is 3 months

[KalkaraFTW]

@DelandoBrad Ok thanks.

[hanseykemmerer]

My best time so far is 23:40, I'm in 11th grade and I really want to break the 21 minute mark!

[Copenhagen365]

damn your big. im 6ft 2in and 167lbs. i know a qualify for the marines. im in contact with a recruiter. do you think im to skinny for bootcamp. i feel like with my work ethic and determination i can make it through. but you went and your 26 and all built, think i can hack it? and my determination is very high. or do you think il get beat up to bad? my fat percentage is also 5%, i run a mile in less than 6min and can do pull ups, push ups and sit ups well.

[DelandoBrad]

@Copenhagen365

You will be fine! You are not first skinny guy to go to boot camp and you certainly won't be the last. Besides Marines are known to be lean!

[Copenhagen365]

@DelandoBrad thanks for your opinion bro. i feel like better to be a little skinny and in good shape instead of over weight but strong. i have friends that can bench 70 pounds more. but cant do 20 pull ups. and how bad was body hardening? do you get the shit kicked out of you or is it not to bad?

[DelandoBrad]

@Copenhagen365

It is challenging, but you will adapt and overcome!

[Copenhagen365]

@DelandoBrad its got to be. or else everyone could be a marine. and if i wanted easy i would go into the army haha

[chuy69818]

If you don't mind me asking at what age did you whent to boot camp

[DelandoBrad]

@chuy69818

26 y/o

[deltapunk21]

28 minutes is the min dumbass 18 is perfect

[MegaFight4life]

@deltapunk21 But this is hes preperation for boot camp.. + hes running it with a pack and boots.. -.-

[islespatrick]

damn dude, nice. I'm currently training for Navy boot camp.

[8infectedTesticals]

Shit nigga did u have fun?

[uicclili]

@24Rorschach, its 3 miles in under 28.00 minutes not 21

[PhoenixImmortal18]

How heavy are the packs in the Marine Corps?

[tubs2k]

The royal marines do I know, the yanks don't tho

[ajb5]

You left your bag!!

[tubs2k]

To get in the RAF REGIMENT here in UK we have to do 3 mile in 22mins!! You boys got it easy.....to easy!

[miguelrules1234567]

@tubs2k the marines have to run it in 18 they deduct points off if you go over

[24Rorschach]

@tubs2k lol, other way around if anything. This was just training for him- 21 minutes minimum standard for the US marines. 18 min prefered

[luiskilla91592]

i leave june 13 to Paris island, ill probably make some vids soon.

[paywand12]

Good job man, you are a true inspiration.

[gammathetasbear]

do you remember what your time was for this run? I'm the first to admit that running is not my strong suit either but sticking with it does help, i hope lol!

[DelandoBrad]

@gammathetasbear

Not sure what the exact time was for this run, but it was faster than 28 mins. Try running with and w/o the weight to see what gains you make.

[deathworm123]

i like the rockey music

[Isthisthelongestname]

28mins for 3 miles...christ you wouldnt even get into the British royal engineers....with that run time.

[thebluemaggot]

@Isthisthelongestname 28 eight is the absolute Bare minimum you have to run to just barely pass. But just because you run the bare minimum doesn't mean you pass the whole PFT. Every thing is done on a point system and if you don't get enough points you fail the PFT. you get a perfect score on the running test if you run it in 18 minutes or less. A friend of mine ran his 3 mile in 18 minutes 13 seconds.

[wafflecushioned]

@thebluemaggot 28 minutes is the maximum amount of time you get to run 3 miles. You can do the bare minimum on each event and still pass the PFT. Chances are when you get to the PFT, boot camp will have made you more physically fit to not worry about only reaching the minimum standards.

[DJChronic77]

@Isthisthelongestname You couldnt even be a chef with that time never mind the engineers.

[kbk1061]

Dummy, run in the grass or dirt with weight and boots, until combat train smart~

[tsandoval02]

my friend leaves june 28 to and i leave in august

[Dustynextpker]

Sweet keep the vlogging up. Can't wait to see the videos once you get out of Boot Camp!
