What you need to do for a successful IST is do two and half or three mile runs when you train. If you're already maxing out pull-ups and crunches, do a max-set of pullups before and after the run, and crunches, well, I dunno, I never had a problem maxing them out and never really worked abs. Once you're done with the IST and you move to the PFT, the same thing applies for improving your run, but do five to six miles instead of the PFT's standard three. What was your run time, out of curiosity?  |

do you run with your hands held high? If so, this may be causing the cramping. Used to happen to me. My cc coach told me that your hands should stay at or just below belt level when running. It worked for me, let me know if it helps.  |

Try swimming. Swimming is always recommended for Asthmatics. I know you said you aren't one, but swimming builds up your lungs. If you managed to swim everyday for a few weeks, plus practiced your running, you should be able to make it. Good luck! Take care,  |
