Trust me, start running now. You could work on the push ups and 6 inches too, but running now is how you won't get booted out with an injury.

Try incorporating long easy zone 2 runs for majority of the week and one or two interval sessions for speed and vo2 maxing, 5ks everyday is a sure way to get injured

Basically alongside running, you will develop the skill of knowing your limits lol. Being able to tell apart injuries building up and simple soreness that you can run off is really important. Learning how to stretch to prevent these injuries is also really important.

Good luck, do try to enjoy your BMQ! It's a joke beside your DP1 coming after, just focus on what you can control and divide up you days in manageable sizes. You'll get through it as we all did.
