I'll be curious to see if this "new" program is just a dusted-off version of the program proposed in the late 90s, but turned down because it was "too hard" to implement.
I understand the anti-distance running argument, but don't fully agree with eliminating it from the PT program. Palkoska (a former USMA Dept. of Physical Ed. instructor) has always been a "gym rat" kind of guy and detests running, so I'm not surprised to see LSD runs dropped. Personally, I always found LSD runs improved my overall endurance and cardio capacity, which came in handy during long, multi-day cross-country movements. Of course, LSD running was cycled with swimming, rucking, sprinting, fartleks, stairs, intervals, hills and a host of other complimentary exercises.
