Continue your approach - which will make sure your body is strong and will hold together for three weeks of mild abuse. Additionally, you will peer high during team week when you can carry heavy things and your teammates who ran the ruck march are buckling.

You will take an APFT once during SFAS. You will be rucking hard, at distances several times what you are doing, every day.

Best of luck.
