Sgt., you left out the part about it being up a mountain while barefoot and carrying a tank on your back...

What I recommend is rather than run just 3 miles, do like 4-8. Go for long distances at a moderate pace improves your form and endurance. Then after you do those for a while, shorten the distance and add speed workouts in the middle. Run to a hill, sprint up it, run down and repeat.

Really though dont count on running in formation to improve you, you only run as fast as the slowest guy. Unless you want to be in the bottom 10%, dont use that as your PT. Consider it a comradarie booster.

As said earlier, the best way to improve is to just run. Less time in forums, more PT.
