Flute- at this point you just need to bite the bullet and trust in yourself. I see you are a CPT and charge for your services.... you should know that overthinking & inaction are some huge obstacles to success. The more times you ask this question the more opinions you are going to get and the more confused you are going to become.
Fluteangel - you have been getting some very good long term advice from PowermanDL and Plankit. However, and not to beat a one note drum - But as the First Sergeant would say "you failed the run, what are you doing about that?"
Perhaps you are a good runner and the fail was due just to the flu junk and sore leg....but if not here are a couple of ways to improve your training and 2 mile run time.
Thanks for those links - I'm definitely going to use the second one - it has all the stuff we did in boot camp!
Could you re-send the first link? I clicked on it and it said it didn't work. The run fail really was due to the flue and the bad leg (found out from the doc today it's from a strained gastroc....go figure), because even though I'm not great at running, usually have no problem with passing and I actually used to run a lot.
Powerman - thanks for all your help, I'm loving your articles. Thanks for putting up with my questions too - I'm a nerd who overthinks things WAAAAY too much (duh) due to wanting to look at things from every angle. Fitness isn't my first job, so I'm still learning a lot. I definitely looking into getting a new cert.
After thinking about it all, I'm going to do the K.I.S.S. 4-day program I had put out before, it's got me lifting heavy with really low volume and that way, I'm in and out of the gym quickly (I'd rather do half-body training, than whole body right now, and split up my training). I'm going to fore-go the structured PT improvement plan I laid out before; I think it's far too intense and too much volume for me with where I am right now.
So I'll get in pushups just about every day (a few here and a few there, when I think about it), with structured improvement drills maybe 3x's a week, same with abs. My focus is more on improving my running anyway. I figure if I get in a little bit of running every day, and then intersperse that with a couple days of running intervals and 2 days of longer runs, with 1-2 days of cross training, like cycling (all for no more than 30 minutes)
That's how I got better at basic - do what you suck at, which was all three. But by the end, I didn't suck at anything.
And if I start to feel run-down AT ALL, the calories are going to go up to 12xbw. I want fat loss, but not at the expense of injury to myself.
Thank you ALL for all your help and guidance. I love to learn and I knew this was one of the best places for it. Thanks for pointing me in some good directions! And I apologize for driving you all crazy. When it comes to "making an educated guess" I analyze way too much, wanting to make the perfect guess...which is silly, but I do it anyway.
