i ship out for basic in 7 weeks and i would like to know what would the physical fitness recommendation is before i go so i wont be tired all the time and sore. right now i could run a 2 miles in 16 minutes but after that im wasted and i sometimes i could do 40+ push ups and at other times i could do at least 20.

If you can run 2 miles and do 50 push ups and 50 sit ups non stop, you will be fine.

So start running 3 miles everyday, don't worry about speed.

Start doing sets of push ups and sit ups.

IE:
do 25 push ups, then 25 sit ups.
rest 3 mins
do 25 push ups and 25 sit ups
rest 3 mins
do 25 push ups and 25 sit ups

The next week, do 30 push ups and 30 sit ups in 3 sets
The 3rd week do 35 and 35
the 4th week do 40 and 40

Its ok if you cannot do all of them on the third set, just do as many as you can
