This plan was created to:

• Help athletes train and prepare for the 3 mile physical fitness test administered by the US Marine Corps, or any other physical fitness tests administered by other branches of military, law enforcement etc.
• Teach athletes:

1. Basic skills and techniques of good running.
2. How to build up the anaerobic capacity through intensity.
3. How to effectively add volume into training to develop fuel efficiency, aerobic endurance and build confidence.

This is a generalized basic program to help athletes of varying abilities.
