Maxwell

Awesome workout. Stretch afterwards feels great.

Chris

W1/D4 - Strength

1:18. A little slower than my 1:10 split in Air Assault 4 years ago, but definitely workable.

Didn’t make the timeline but holy cow this one nearly did me in. Great workout though.

W1/D5 - ** Ruck March Assessment (6-miles)

Definitely tough but that’s how we build ourselves up.

Forgot to set the timer for the 3 mile but made it in good time. The rest definitely is a smoker. Get through the smoke to get better!🤙

W1/D6 - Conditioning

35:12. Humbling but motivating. This is the beginning.

Parker

Tough. Ran 4 miles in 39:40 at a decent pace.

W2/D1 - 4 Mile Run @ 80%

This work out was tough, but you got to pay the man. And pay I did!

Workouts are killer, however had on a 50lbs ruck and feel great

W2/D5 - Ruck March (8-miles)

W2/D6 - Conditioning
