What are you currently doing to prep for SFAS or SFRE

[Tandem]

Only my second run back after pulling my hamstring around two months ago and taking the time to heal it, still tender but making good strides.

3 miles at 23:56, I was hurting and hating every minute of that last mile. I know the cardio will come back, but that was not fun.

Landslide: Outfuckingstanding. Congrats on your Selection.

Keep your eye on the SFQC bubble going forward... just as you previously have.

Go forth and do great things.

Fantastic! Do not lose sight of your near goals. Complete them as they come to you. Do not just look at graduation as there are speed bumps along the way.
And don’t f’ing quit.

Also work on getting that time down. You are too close to the minimum.

Long time stalker of this site, reading and researching for years. I have been training on and off for the last year with programs like Get Selected!, SELECTED!, THOR3 14-week Program, and Stew Smith's Special Forces workout program. From my training I thought all of them were amazing programs, but personally saw the most improvement during the THOR3 Program.

Going to my first SF recruiting brief and SFRE event in December.

I have mostly been focusing on getting my run and ruck times down, specifically my rucking without running because I was rucking with a run-walk-run method every time and ended up hurting my back, but took my time to heal and learned my lesson to only ruck run when necessary.

2 mile run: 13:29, 6:45 min/mi pace
5 mile run: 38:10, 7:37 min/mi pace
6 mile ruck: 1:21:39, 13:37 min/mile pace only fast walking
10 mile ruck: 2:13:32, 13:20 min/mile pace only fast walking

Rucks with Alice pack @ 55# dry. Never done any rucks with a sledge hammer but plan to pick up an 8lb one and use it for my training after gaining the tip from this forum.

Wednesday
Run
10min w/u, 18min tempo (7:43), 10min c/d

Lift
Squat 5x12

Adapting to volume and legs felt much better for tempo run today.

Good work man, I’m chasing down those numbers as well. The hammer doesn’t really slow you down that much, just something you have to get use to as its harder to swing both arms.
