<p>My Mid was running track from February through May so he was ahead of the game running. He was little weak upper body so he really pushed himself on push ups and pull ups. It was amazing to see how he improved his numbers over the months prior to I-Day. He was running 5 miles 4 days a week, doing about 75 push ups and 25 pull ups a day, including 15-20 minutes of treading water 3 times a week just prior to I-Day. He took off 4 days for a senior trip. He relaxed 3 or 4 days before reporting. He did fine on all of the physical stuff during Plebe Summer. I am certainly not suggesting that you could not get by on less than above stated, but he wanted to be sure he was ready. While he was very challenged, especially with the pace of things during the summer, physically nothing thrown at him bothered him, except having to carry one of those rubber boats about a half mile half full of water, now that like to have killed him. Good Luck and work hard, it will come to your son.</p>
