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.
- Start with short running intervals
- Don’t start out too fast

Run hungry: “I recommend running in a fasted state for slow to moderate runs lasting up to 90 minutes, which means not eating in the two hours before setting out, or running first thing before breakfast,” says performance and clinical dietitian Renee McGregor, author of Training Food
- Eat the right carbs
- Slow down your breathing
- Land on your forefoot while running
