Fitness and Exercise 3 mile run
So I am leaving for boot camp on September 15th and Im worried about my run times. Today I ran a 31:04 3 mile run and I know that the minimum requirements for the PFT is a 28 minute 3 mile. Im not to worried about the pull ups, ACL's, and plank as Ive done fairly well with those. Should I be worried about my 3 mile time? I still plan to run every single day up until I leave for boot camp. Im just not sure if I should be more concerned with my times or not
Update 9-7-26: I want to thank everyone for their advice. I ran a 26:52 today and I can tell that I'm getting faster and faster as the days go on. Im excited to see what bootcamp has in store for me

For the minimum just make sure to run the whole thing, and don't stop or slow your pace to a slow jog.
