Beast training 2.0

[Thewolf88]

Hi guys I'm still pushing for my goal for the with the Reserves - I will earn my green beret :-D

 

Right so this month is going to be a lot more strength training focused along with more endurance runs. After completing a 10k obstacle course in march I'm looking at doing a 10 mile (16k) obstacle course in the summer.

 

I am still going to be swimming 3 times a week, still doing martial arts and military fitness, but really looking at building on my running this month and switching the focus from speed e.g. trying to increase the speed which I run a set distance to endurance e.g. increasing the time I can run without having to stop. I do have a fairly good level of cardio built up over the last 10 months since I started training but there is still plenty of room for improvement.

 

So the goal is to increase my runs from 2 a week to three but only do one run against time and use the other 2 to increase endurance.

 

Each of these runs will be without stopping or walking (must be non-stop running)

 

2 x 30 min run week 1

2 x 40 min runs week 2

2 x 50 min runs week 3 

2 x 60 min runs week 4

 

Second challenge is eat a paleo diet while doing intermittent fasting

 

And my 3rd challenge is to try to update you all following me on here with my daily progress.

Hi Wolf!

 

Good to have ya back! You could prolly sub 1 run each week and do sprints instead? It builds up a whole new world of cardio hitting your anerobic and aerobic capacities. The best part about sprints, is you only need 15-20 min of sprinting and resting to see the full effects

 

A good example:

 

Set the timer for 15 minutes. Sprint 40 yards, rest 2-3 min. Rinse and repeat until time is up. DONE.

Hi wild yeah I did sprint training yesterday with one of the military fitness instructors, we did alot of hill work too and a few short distances jogging as recovery... It was only an hour long session but definitely felt like I was working the wholr time haha... may switch out one of the runs to do this session every week instead   :-D
