I ran the shuttle run on June 6 and recently passed. If anyone preparing for the next session has questions about training, prep, or what to expect on the day, happy to help while it’s still fresh in my mind.

@Matthew Byrne Hey Matthew, I’d say it’s probably a steady balance of both. I’ve found HIIT/interval training helps a lot with keeping your heart rate elevated and getting used to that stop-and-start pace. That said, I’ve seen some people struggle once they get past the level 5 beep mark training that way, so I think mixing in longer-distance cardio is smart too. A slow 5K builds your overall cardio base, and because it’s a longer distance than the actual shuttle run, it helps mentally as well. I’d aim for a mix of intervals and two to three slower pace 5K runs. Hope that helps!
