Alright, I'm recently off knee surgery and can run again.
My last IST (1.5 miles) this past saturday was 8:46. This is 1:22 off of my PR. Given that I haven't run in 2 months I'm not terribly upset about this. Problem is, I ship off to boot camp January 20th. I want to get it back down to at least 8 flat. How can I accomplish this without logging serious miles. Would solid weight training help this? Also, for cardio work at the gym what would be best, elliptical trainer or stationary bike?
