And all is welcome.

I need a good training workout that will get me up to a good running status in Three Weeks. I've tested for Police Officer and am more than a foot in as the recruit. Thus, I have to attend the academy. Lots of running, pushups, and situps. I need to get my lungs in a bit better shape. I live at 5000 feet so the air is a bit thinner than where the academy is hosted. The town I live in has a bunch of hills at many different grades. I need a good pretty harsh work out to get in a bit better shape.

All info is more than welcome.

The altitude is fantastic. Have you considered trail running (distance) and cycling sprints in combination?

I have been taking long rides pulling my 45lb son in a bike cart for a while now but I need some more exercise. I have a wonderful trail across the street from my house, I'll give the running thing a chance through there.

My experience is that running and cycling use a few different muscles so your best bet is to run as much as possible to develop those muscles. The lungs will come in either way. I am sure Koffee can give some more indepth advice.
