Looking for a training partner in Yadkin County, NC area starting in Feb
 

I'd like a partner for rucking and running in the Yadkin County, NC area. I'll be available starting Feb after I get CONUS again. I'll be looking to really push the pace so someone training for SFAS would be preferred. Thank you

Just start rucking, (easy 50 lbs.), start collecting miles, 30, 40, 50 per week. Increase your weight weekly by 20%. Read as much as you can. SFAS is a personal matter, light the fire in your gut, you'll be fine.

p.s., but having someone to talk to while training is kinda cool too.

Roger that WD. I have been reading plenty on here and have read "Get Selected" more than once. This site is the best resource I could hope for. It's more as you point out for someone to talk to on the long miles. Not to mention it's just plain fun to see someone suffer as much as I am.:)

WD,

I hope I didn't come off as unappreciative of your advice. If so, I apologize. I merely meant to express my appreciation for the QPs of this site and to let you know that I am taking advantage of all the great advice and knowledge provided here in via the search button as directed. Again I meant no disrespect and thank you for your input. I'll go do PT now...

I appreciate you saying that, but no apologies necessary. Do get strong, but balance your training with having a life. What makes SF so unique, is our ability to adapt to changing environments, to understand and be understood.

Stay injury free, listen to your body in motion. Keep your eye on the 25M target. Rest when you can.

I think this is my qoute of the year.... not bad for the first day of 2010

Understood WD, thanks again.

Just one man's opinion, but it occurs to me that:

1. Talking may not be tactically sound on what should be a long-range individual movement, you might be better off learning to be alone in the woods.

2. You hear more around you and have better SA with your mouth closed.

3. Talking involves using O2 better spent oxygenating muscles to move out faster. I have never spent much time talking during rucks, runs, etc.

You do have a beautiful and challenging place to prepare where you are.

Just my .02, YMMV.

Understood, thanks TR.
If I may, you sound familiar with the area whereas I am not so. I plan to put that USATF site to use and check out parks and forests but might I press you for any choice trails in the AO or even a general area that might posses some good challenging terrain. I found some action in the Fayetteville area and the AT via the search button but didn't see anything out my way. Wish I were closer to Bragg, that 12 miler on Chicken Rd. sounds great. I might have to make the drive once every couple of weeks just to hit it. Thanks again TR

P.S., that rucking sticky of yours is awesome, thanks for that as well.
