How to train to run a mile and a half better and faster?
You want to train for endurance. Our muscles are made up of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers. In other words, some are used for sprinting (anaerobic) and others are used for longer distance running (aerobic). To run a strong 1 1/2 miles, you need to build up your endurance. To do this, I would suggest than you jog some distance longer than 1 1/2 miles. You should do this at a speed that has you breathing hard, and your heart rate up, but not so fast that you have to stop, or slow down. Also, try drinking 8 ounces of water before you go for your jog, because you will deplete a large amount of water while working out (this could help with the nausea). If you’re serious, then I would suggest you run at least 3 times a week. Also, if you feel sick after jogging, consider slowing your pace a little. But by all means, for a PT test, pace yourself, but run all out.
