I can tell you, it is always upsetting to hear great MIDN being kicked out for not passing the PRT. Case and point, for those who have accepted an appointment for the Class of 2011, WORK OUT NOW!!! If you cannot already run the minimum time, start working to it!

Running (PRT) is about being consistent and having challenging workouts. Running 3 times or less a week is not going to cut the cake (well, maybe for some). Development takes TIME! On average, a workout that you do today will not be noticed until 10 days later!

The sooner you start, combined with a good training program usually leads to faster times. Additionally, the pain that your body feels can only be overcomed by you, so when you do hard workouts, push through the pain because with that experience, it will help you push through the pain when it matters (i.e. PRT, races).
