slow runner
I have searched as much as I can about slow/weak runners and can not find a clear answer to my question. From the book Get Selected as well as throughout the forum it seems that the main endurance training should be on rucking. I have been rucking several times a week 3-5 miles and once every other week for 10. I can maintain a pace I am satisfied with at this point in my prep 13.5min/mile, which is improving. My question is how much of a factor in my success at SFAS will endurance running be? I am a weak distance runner. I have a strong lower body and back with a max back squat at 405lbs and a solid deadlift at 500lbs. It seems though that while my ruck times keep improving my run times do not. I don't think I am overly heavy at 207lbs 6'1'' but when i start to push myself on the runs it usually ends up with some sort of injury; shin splints being the most common, which further causes me to put off lsd runs. How far should I realistically train to run? Should I stick with just two mile runs as to do well on the AFPT, or 4 as I believe is required at SFAS?
I apologize in advance.
