Its a similar program in that it is minimalist with a focus on lower rep compound exercises, but has a better programing structure in my opinion. \r\nIt was designed for military people who had a strength need, but had other demands on their time and conditioning. I ran 2, 6 weeks cycles during a cut and still got stronger. \r\n\r\nYou could either do 3 exercise clusters (say Squats, Bench and pull-ups) 3 days a week, or two exercise clusters twice a week for 4 days lifting and do cardio on the other days.

However, if you want a book on conditioning and pairing it with weight training I’d look at the tactical barbell books.

You can get the ebooks pretty cheap on Amazon.","subreddit_name":"531Discussion","author":"jbordeleau"},{"body":"I sound like a shill but check out Tactical Barbell, books [1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G195QU2?psc=1) and [2](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143HDCWS?psc=1). I can't find the exact comment now but a [Marathon runner on the army sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/army/comments/8l3ho7/a_brief_rarmy_guide_to_the_2_mile_run/) (which btw, has much more running advice than this sub; so I'd look into it) recommended. Boils down to lifting 2-3 times a week and conditioning 3-4 times a week; but there's a lot to it and I don't want to just give it all away in a Reddit post. Definitely worth the like $10 a pop. \r\n\r\nYour current starting point changes where you start (who'da thunk), so if you're starting from absolute zero I'd start with C25K like the other guy recommended.  After finishing that I'd recommend picking up [Build Your Running Body.](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IIXLKQY?psc=1) It pretty much touches on everything; though I'd recommend getting the physical version instead of the kindle version. If money's tight; I'd get TB over BYRB. BYRB didn't tell me much that I didn't learn just from searching online for free; but it's nice having everything in one place, and I would recommend picking it up eventually.\r\n\r\nKind of a TL;DR on running is:\r\n\r\n* Build *distance/endurance* before *speed*.\r\n* Don't advance so quickly you injure yourself.\r\n* Endurance work is running for time/distance; at a certain pace or a certain Heart Rate. In general you should be running at a pace that you can comfortably have a conversation. This was barely more than a walk when I started.\r\n* Speed work is mostly sprints. 30/60's or 60/120's (run/walk in seconds), 200/400/600m resets, fartleks.\r\n* Stretch post-workout.\r\n* After changing your training, you're supposed to roll with it for several weeks as your body adapts to it, before you further change your plan.\r\n\r\nSince you're 2 years out; I'd train for 5K/10K over just your 1.5mile; at least until you're 4-6 months out from your ship date. So some of your bigger goals might be something like:\r\n\r\n1: Running 5k 3x a week.\r\n\r\n2: Completing a 5K in \u0026lt;30 minutes at race pace.\r\n\r\n3: Completing a 5K in \u0026lt;20 minutes at race pace.","subreddit_name":"newtothenavy","author":"BoomerWorm"},{"body":"Tactical Barbell: Definitive Strength Training for the Operational Athlete https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G195QU2?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_dp_KVMXCE547JWF3Y67GBF5 this is the one I have. 3rd edition, green protocol I have not read \r\n yet.","subreddit_name":"bodyweightfitness","author":"forgeblast"},{"body":"[That's the book](http://Tactical Barbell: Definitive Strength Training for the Operational Athlete https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01G195QU2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_X2HXGBNPHX7YRJZCC08W)\r\n\r\nThere's a subreddit on here too. r/tacticalbarbell.

I've got a bunch of injuries/issues because of my service and what not so it really depends on your goals!  \r\n\r\n\r\nOutside of the mat, I do a lot of physical therapy/rehab exercises both as a warm up and as a workout to address the muscular imbalances/service-related injuries. This is mostly so that I can be as pain-free as possible and keep training and stay on the mats.  \r\n\r\n\r\nIn terms of exercises, equipment, etc... I do a lot of single hand club work which I have found to be phenomenal for grip strength and muscular endurance and general rotational strength, mace work with emphasis on anti-rotation and shoulder health. Then I mix in tabata sprints on a indoor bike, kettlebells and barbells for legs/squat variations.   \r\n\r\n\r\nI found this youtube clip to be particularly enlightening - [https://youtu.be/7EHeHaUcn9A](https://youtu.be/7EHeHaUcn9A)  \r\n\r\n\r\nAs an older slightly broken athlete, I have found high volume lighter weight to be more effective for my longevity and overall mat strength. That being said, periodization is key if you are training for performance and competition.  \r\n\r\n\r\nI also have found tactical barbell to be particularly effective  for a training structure and it certainly helps any military/tactical training you might need to do (not knowing your MOS).

I do short high intensity cardio 1-2 days a week (sometimes on my own, sometimes at a boxing class) and endurance cardio 1-2 days a week, usually hiking with weight or backcountry skiing.  If the weather is crap I will do step ups inside as I don't have access to a rower or treadmill.  I do yoga once a week for 20-60 minutes.  I'm a bit flexible with all this so I can make time for skiing or doing things with friends or if work gets in the way but that's my general schedule.\r\n\r\nIn season I try to lift 2 days a week, but at my current station I don't have a gym so I've been doing bodyweight exercises.  I will do high intensity or slow \"recovery\" cardio during the work week depending on how physical we are on the job.  If we have a really demanding day I will usually just stretch or do yoga, so I end up doing yoga 2-3 days a week usually.  Sometimes I just fall asleep right after dinner though haha.\r\n\r\nFor lifting and conditioning work I have been following templates from the books [\"Tactical Barbell: Definitive Strength Training for the Operational Athlete\"](https://www.amazon.com/Tactical-Barbell-Definitive-Strength-Operational-ebook/dp/B01G195QU2) and [Tactical Barbell 2: Conditioning](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143HDCWS?ref_=dbs_p_pwh_rwt_anx_cl_1\u0026amp;storeType=ebooks).  It is geared towards military and first responders but I think the jack of all trades approach to fitness outlined in these books is good for trail work too.  A lot of the programming assumes that you have a physical job and can't be going all out in the gym everyday so I find that is useful in season especially, but also off season when I want to balance training with fun physical activities like skiing.  Tactical Barbell assumes you have some familiarity with barbell based weight training or kettlebells, so if you don't have experience with those tools it would be less useful but you can still adapt a lot of the programming to bodyweight or using dumbbells/sandbags/whatever.\r\n\r\nFor yoga I use the Down Dog app.  It has a yearly or monthly fee but for me it has been worth it and is pretty cheap if you do the year.  Also free if you are a student or teacher.  It makes a yoga workout for you based on parameters you enter like time, intensity, focus, and skill level.  You can download workouts for offline use too.\r\n\r\nAnyway that was a long answer but that is what works for me.  I've noticed I don't get injured as much and have an easier time at work the more I work out in the off season.  Hope that helps!","subreddit_name":"trailwork","author":"Swankylemming"}]}
