magictoy i agree with you there, but JT isnt a serious runner who does 10 miles a day for the past 10 years nor does jt plan on keeping it up for the rest of his working life.
i just say pace yourself, but dont overtrain yourself because you could end up with stress fractures if you dont ease yourself into training.
i used to run seriously, but now do it more of a hobby. try track running. set the pace to say 10min/mile (1600m). a quick stroll will usually get you 1min/100. so in saying that you should be able to walk 400m in 4 minutes.
if you run at a pace of 10min/mile, thats basically 400min in 2.5mins which is quite easy to do. go to a local track and just time yourself for the first lap, and try to keep the pace, while keeping an eye on the time.
keep your fluids up, and eat well. a body with no fuel will burn out, so have a decent meal the night before if the test is in the morning.
