I want to be built but in shape for the Army Basic Combat Training?

Yah, Uh stop running 20-25 miles a week. lol. I was in the army, and basic training is pretty easy physical wise. The most they ever run is 2-4 miles every other day. The days in between are pushups situps type stuff. Not hard. The pace of runs isnt fast at all unless your in alpha group ( the fastest runners) . Just look up the army standard for your age group- for the apft run and make sure you can at least run that fast for 2 miles. Your overdoing it. Keep working out. Eat non processed lower fat stuff . The runs are mostly about a steady pace not super far or fast. Oh and for an insider hint when you first get to basic and they test you for the first time- dont run as fast as you can- take a steady slower pace. If you get put in the fastest group- which they asign you to based on your run times for the first test- it will suck and you wont be able to switch out. Cardio and lifting can and do go hand in hand as long as you dont overdo the cardio.
