If I can normally walk again I'd be walking distances of 10-20 Km once a week. I used to really suck at thatOriginally Posted by Peegee
do you incorporate any other training? I tend to stereotype your training as more suited for sports rather than strength. I guess it's not necessary to be muscular when you have an M-16anyone can get into regular infantry if they run a bit. I'm up to spec for Air Mobile (at least I was in november at the pre selection thing where I smurfed up my feet even worse than they already were) which is like at comparable level with US Army Rangers. That's why I focus on recovery and doing stuff every day instead of going for max reps. I don't need to be faster or stronger than I am now, I just need to be able to recover fast from exercise so I can keep going for days and weeks.And look what they look like. Not for me.
It's interesting you mentioned army training. If I recall correctly it's not even remotely difficult to do - I could probably get in the army in about a month if I practiced only running.. A year ago I went hiking with some guys. We took a 32 km route and I had to quit after 26 because I exhausted every drop of strength out of my legs. Took me 3 days before I stopped walking like I'd been pounded in the ass by a huge black black prison inmate.
By september I was able to walk and run about 70 km in a single weekend and I had only slight muscle ache the next day. Walking large distances is pretty much the most important physical army skill aside from obstacle courses. There's a playground with an obstacle course with these wooden constructions near my house so I might start training there eventually but I don't wanna seem like a pedobear and get arrested
