6-Week Program?

Maybe you're taking a more... holistic approach, but is a weighted vest really the best idea for dropping mile times? It sounds good in theory but I've got a lot of experience with distance running and that's not an accepted standard. It probably will help you with fast twitch muscles though.

I don't care about whats 'accepted'. I am in the army, and we have to run with rucksacks on our backs once a week. Atleast this vest will evenly distribute the weight on my shoulders. Also I plan on only hitting hills with it hard, going uphill is so much easier on my knees and ankles. Downhill running is gay and painful.

What I meant was weight training isn't the best method if you're looking to solely drop distance times. I'm guessing you're more in the business of overall fitness (cardiovascular as well as muscular improvement), though.

Correct.

I've got a new diet laid out for when I move, it's going to be much easier to follow being a fulltime student.

6:00am coffee and protein powder mixed in water (about 100 cals)
7:30am oatmeal with flax and protein powder (about 400 cals)
9:30am mixed frozen vegetables with spaghetti sauce and protein powder mixed in water (about 400 cals)
12:00 shredded wheat with nonfat milk, flax, and protein powder (about 400 cals)
2:30pm can of kidney beans and raisins (about 300 cals)
5:00pm dried soybeans and raisins (about 300 cals)
7:30pm mixed frozen vegetables with spaghetti sauce and protein powder mixed in water (about 300 cals)
9:00pm protein powder mixed in water (100 cals)

This is going to be wonderful once I get into the heavier weight training.
