Candidates should gradually build endurance and speed rather than attempting the required distance at maximum effort from the first day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improve-stamina-and-endurance\">Improve Stamina and Endurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with comfortable jogging and gradually increase the distance. Once you develop basic endurance, include timed runs to assess your progress against the PET requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, male candidates preparing against the previous-cycle benchmark should gradually work towards completing 5 km comfortably within 24 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-include-interval-training\">Include Interval Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Interval training involves alternating between faster and slower running. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fast run for 1 minute<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow jog for 2 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat the cycle several times<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This can help improve both cardiovascular endurance and running speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strengthen-your-legs-and-core\">Strengthen Your Legs and Core<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Include bodyweight exercises such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Squats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lunges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calf raises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Push-ups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Core exercises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong legs and core muscles can help candidates maintain better running form and reduce fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practise-timed-runs\">Practise Timed Runs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates should periodically practise the complete PET distance under timed conditions. However, avoid attempting a maximum-effort timed run every day. Allow sufficient recovery between demanding sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-work-on-running-technique\">Work on Running Technique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining proper running form can help improve efficiency.
