For many people, running this distance in a short time can really be a challenge but it’s the way you train that makes the difference.
What stops you? Muscles or Breathing – Is it easy and then you hit the brick wall?

A main point here is to do a press up as required – you only need to go down until your elbows and shoulders are level, NOT until your chest touches the floor.
Different exercises are required to increase the number of Press Ups you do. Sure completing these regularly can help, but its not the best way.
