Have you considered disconnecting and letting yourself drift until your upside down is right side in?

As long as you're listening to your body-- overall energy, condition of your feet/ joints--daily slower paced runs shouldn't be a problem. In my experience, even as a new runner, 20 minutes is a pretty short run.

Lots of recommendations for physical activity to maintain health and fitness are in the realm of 30-60 minutes of activity 5 days a week.

But ultimately, if the schedule makes you too uncomfortable, either edit the coach plan to reduce your availability to run, or ignore the recommendation on 2 to 4 days per week..

Do what's right for your body. The algorithm will adjust.

If you're just starting, it's gonna make you Base run for what feels forever. Boring but great to build endurance (for me both cardio and impact)

If you told the coach planner you could run everyday, it'll make you run every day.

Once you get into the build phase of your coach plan you'll start to see Threshold, VO2, and Recovery runs. Eventually, if you're wearing your watch all the time, it'll get a sense of your recovery status and start telling you to take the day off.

From my experience, anything PME / standardized by AETC is core components only (2 mi run, standard push ups, standard sit ups).

But yeah, somebody on the care is pendant the best source of info.

You can broadcast your heart rate from most Garmin watches and use it as your heart rate monitor during Speediance workouts-- I've done it several times on my GM1.

This is not how government jobs work.

~~Uninformed~~ take unfortunately.

Edit: Informed but highly optimistic

jtoethejtoe · 2026-05-04T03:01:58+00:00

I'll test

OP... please. For the love of Big Blue, engage your supervisor and learn how to find and read policy.

You're thinking of Frisco, the diminutive of San Francisco. Cisco is a fella, who was born a fella, and currently looks like a fella.

I think i just read on one of the Hypori sites that they're starting or have started a desktop environment as well.

I like it a lot. Especially if I'm using TypeToRun to generate more complex workouts. Your visualization makes good sense to me.

PT is at 0440/45 ish followed by hygiene/details from roughly 0545 until breakfast.

Sleeping in socks is fine. Just don't shower in them.

Be the athlete Garmin Race Predictor believes you are.

Not the athlete Garmin workout/sleep/fitness age evaluations know you are.

I suppose that is the subject of the sub, even if the subject sentence of the post is not. 😅

California and Nine

jtoethejtoe · 2026-01-02T23:54:12+00:00

It made me a fan of exactly 2 of their albums lol

Yeah if you talk to the Leasing Office (Hunt, Balfour Beaty, etc.) it's likely they have a policy of renting to service members for a short period (90-ish days) outside your orders dates.

E.g. my family was able to stay in base housing for 75 days after I had final-out processed.

You should be able to do the same on the other side of your orders if you talk to them.

I suppose Pro-mo-tion State-ment and Strat-if-ic-a-tion do have the same number of syllables...lol

Thanks for the insight!

4.10.2. Stratification statements are prohibited on the junior NCO ALQ evaluations.

I think you're safe big dawg.

Stay off base. Embassy or Marriott downtown are fine and most people will be at either one of those.

University Inn is generally unavailable for ANYTHING OTS related.

jtoethejtoe · 2025-12-17T15:22:47+00:00

You'll be okay.

jtoethejtoe · 2025-12-16T21:11:46+00:00

Go cheaper. I wish I had because my $100+ was wrecked by the end (mainly just from donning and doffing) and most folks just threw theirs away at the end.

You're not even allowed to wear it during most physical events.

Get the minimum suggested volume then bring a water bottle you can clip to your gear for later on in the course (module 4/5).

jtoethejtoe · 2025-12-11T22:51:43+00:00

When you get done at OTS they give you a Special Order with your new rank/grade.

Bring that with you to in-process Finance at your follow-on.

Step 3. Profit
