I ship out jan 27 to go to boot at Great Lakes . I have an SO contract which means I go to buds directly after boot camp and pre buds. I say I have the training in 6 weeks to simplify things, because I do have to pass multiple PST tests within that time frame anyway. I really don't care if y'all believe me or not. Just pretend you do and answer my question
First, I assume you are in DEP and have an SO Contract.
If so why don't you ask the NRD NSW Mentor or NSW Coordinator?
If you are a contract SO "Future Sailor" you aren't going to BUD/S in 2 months.
You will first have to complete basic training at RTC then go to NSW Prep at NTC (5-6 months before you even check into BUD/S).
If you are actually in DEP and are shipping with an SO Contract utilize your resources. Who better to ask than an actual Navy SEAL or other NSW/NSO Representative in your NRD?

The whole point of even presenting that information was to relay the point that this is not for leisure and I need to take the safest route possible
Thank you, but believe me I have exhausted all other resources. I have tapped into my mentors and ND as well. However, I figured it couldn't hurt to get the opinions of some other running experts. So if we could just address the concern of the problem prolonging with the refraining from running due to it's A vascular nature, that would be great! Thank you so much!

What NRD are you out of?
Again, why aren't you talking to your Mentor and or Coordinator?

Out if the LA cal area. I have asked them about it and consider their advice very good and important. However, I don't see the problem in seeking others advice as well. Am I wrong for seeking others advice as well?

Non SEAL Runners on these boards have no clue about the BUD/S pipeline and how to prep for that course.
If you have a running related injury stop running or reduce your running volume until you have healed. Swim, row, or do any other low impact aerobic activity to maintain fitness in the meantime. That will be your best COA. You will lose fitness at RTC so you will be able to decompress and heal in that window too. NSW Prep will build you up for BUD/S with 2x day coached workouts.
All this information is available to you via your NSW Mentor and Coordinator.
If you show up to BUD/S injured you are extremely unlikely to complete that COI.

Mr. Jackson is an excellent NSW MENTOR.
I would not take BUD/S Prep advice from anyone whom is not or was not a Navy SEAL.
Your first priority as a contract SO \"applicant\" is to check into BUD/S Healthy. If you show up injured you are not likely to complete the COI.

Thank you sir. So you say it would be ok to maybe run a half mile a day to keep the tendon "loose" or warmed up? Or would the risk of this be greater than the benefit?
Again, fitness wise, I run under 8:15 on the PST so I'm not on the verge of being too slow as is. So if the small amount of daily running would not help it to heel faster I definitely would stop running 100% .
I agree with NSW, reduce your volume. Any training you will do at navy basic will be laughable compared to your current or future training so you should heal fine then. I suggest using this injury to get comfortable in the water and improve strength ( both muscular endurance and absolute). Being able to overhead press a decent amount should come in handy with those zodiaks...

He is in DEP (Delayed Entry Program). He will not be Medically Covered/Insured until the day he ships to RTC, AKA "Boot Camp."
He appears to be a legit applicant. I can easily find him in MILITAPS (SO Applicant database) based on his NRD and verify him.
But that is neither here nor there. He has chosen the wrong place to seek BUD/S Prep advice.

Know the difference between "pain" and "discomfort."
If you are in "pain," do not run on it.
Your run time is fine. At your juncture you only need to pass the PST to maintain your SO Contract. As an 8:15 guy you should not have any issues meeting the minimum standard of 10:30.
This is the same information that your Mentor, Mr. Jackson, would have given you.

Thank you for your help sir. I knew coming Into this forum that I should significantly reduce or stop running. What my question is, does it do any benefit to run just a little? I know ligaments and tendons do not have blood flow supply. They get nutrients they need to heel up by being utilized and moving around. I admit my question is nit picky, but that's the kind of person I am. I would really like to know whether you would run a little, or stop completely?
Thank you again!
I got this response after asking my last question. You can ignore that last question. This answer is perfect and what I was looking for thank you

If you aren't in "pain" then run on it.
If you are feeling "pain" then stop running.
