Not sure what you mean, this is not different to my initial post. The OP stated they had to use a treadmill as they ran at 4am and didn't want to run outside at this time of day. So the advice I gave was predicated on if they 'have to use a treadmill' but I also suggested they run outside for 3km as often as hey could.
 

Settle down tiger.

your post was cool, we all went around in circles for a minute, your post was well written
 
If it helps any, I trained for the Melbourne Marathon recently, failed due to injury but during the training the longer runs really helped my shorter runs. At one stage a 16km became an easy run. I remember when my long run was about 24km, I did a 6km run at a faster pace and I was running a lot faster than I had ever run that before. Not that you'd need to run that far but maybe having long runs under your belt will make the 2.4km feel like a very small run.
 

Yep you got it in one.

Some suggestions of the occasional long(er) run are probably good as well, but I would not over do it, the occasional 4-5km run might help.

But at the end of the day do not lose focus on what you need to do to pass your test, really that's all that matters, the rest is just fluff.
