I was pretty fit up to about 2/3 months ago (a ran a half marathon) but have been stupidly busy working 4 jobs for a minimum of 12 hour days 6 days a week and have lost my fitness and stamina as a result.(I don't have the luxury of a 9-5 job)
Im a due for a fitness assessment for the police in around 3/4 weeks (if i pass the medical first) and need to do a bleep test and get to level 5.4 (which doesn't sound a lot but when your fitness is gone it seems hard for 15metres - no idea why it isn't 20 metres) my best score recently was 6.2 on wet grass (which ain't amazing). I would like to get to at least level 7.5 / 8.5 before I have the assessment.
Iv changed my diet and started my running again and I have rearranged work A lto. I can run 4 miles in between 37 - 42 Min's, I can run more but risk serious strain at my current fitness level. I tried doing stint running - run for a set distance then walk 1 min and repeat and did that for 4 miles but not sure if this is effective? or maybe do hill sprinting (run up a hill asap and walk back down and repeat)
what would you suggest?
yes there are a lot of spelling mistakes there I know.
