Worked out with a current Green Beret and picked his brain for a couple of months while he was hanging around my recruiting office awaiting order from NG to Active.

I've also read anything SF related I could get my hands on and watched documentaries about SF every time they're on.

The GORUCK challenge is an awesome tool to get you mentally prepared for SFAS. Mental is the operative word and the most critical part you have to be mentally tough to complete selection that doesn't mean selected. Understand it is the mental resistance to adversity that will be your entire career without this adaptability your career will be short.
