My best running tips for you

The good news: If you can run 3.2km race, you’re ready to boost your chances of joining the Nigerian Military

The bad news: NDA only allows stipulated running time for the selection exercise. Therefore, running 3.2km race does take some practice.

The best thing you can do two weeks before the real race is run/exercise every day.

Make sure you cover the 3.2km distance several times by doing run/walks.

If you can’t cover the 3.2km at once, take a walking break, then run some more.

I would also look at doing a few short intervals in runs, e.g. run 1 minute fast, 3 minutes easy and repeat that 3-5 times.

Additional running tips to help you rack up the 3.2km race.
