Sometimes overtraining oneself will show on Evaluations. Another thing is that you might've been training "incorrectly" meaning not event specific. For example. Back in march I took my past test and Ran the 1.5 in 9:58 and swam the 500 in 8:57. I just checked my self yesterday and my times were pretty much the same, and believe me when I tell you my friend, I've been working haaaaard the last few months. So why no improvement in these areas? Well I've concentrated in other areas, and even though my run time hasn't gotten better on the 1.5 mile it has gotten waaaaay better on my 3 mile run. I went from 25 to 26 minutes to 21:20 with no problems. My 500 meter swim time hasn't gotten any faster, but my 1500 meter went from 31 minutes to 28:15. Same as you my calisthenics are better and I can honestly say that my muscular endurance is way better. But it's all due to the training I've been doing. I haven't really been trying to get my running speed down to much, i've just been wanting to get much more comfortable with my breathing at a 7 minute mile pace. As for my swim I've been concentrating a bit more on technique and finning that just swimming endless laps until I'm left breathless. So basically go back and look at your work out plan. Maybe you need to switch it up (you might've hit a plateau), you might need to turn up the intensity. Make sure you're also watching your diet. Good luck

thanks for the reply. that might have been the problem i have been running 3 miles at a time and trying to pace myself and swimming 1000 meters also pacing myself. i thought about the diet thing today i have going out to dinner a lot more so that might have done it. i also stopped the drinking for the past week. the whole reason i brought this up is because i have to take the PAST again, my recruiter told me i have to take it again 20 days before i ship out ( 19 OCT ) and the scores have to be a little bit better then last time so i been testing myself and not liking the results and again thanks for the reply

Dont beat yourself up over seconds, when its game time you'll be surpised at your results because more than likely your adreneline will be pumpin and you will do better than you've expected. eat better too.
