QUESTION
It appears most of the running/rucking in the selection plan for CCT/PJ/CRO is at a threshold pace with the 800 repeats, 2 mi repeats, and ruck repeats and I am curious if it is okay to have my average HR above the aerobic range for the bulk of the weekly mileage since most of the cardio is interval training with no easy runs. Thanks I’m advance.

Thank you for the continued refining if your Back Country pre-season program… been following it for some years and appreciate it despite the inevitable start-up pains!!
I am not so good with the vertical meters math for backcountry calculations / trips and wonder if you could help me make some sort of approximate pace measurement with a goal I have for a trip connected to this training program.
What are some ways I might be able measure if I am getting close to a pace of 400 vertical meters per hour?
Would this be best measured with the end of the week step-ups on day 5, with the weighted pack? And how might I make a close estimate of my pace?
I am working on 45cm / 18” bench.
I also have one question about a quasi replacement exercise for the Scotty-bob? I love the exercise, but I have disc problems in my lower back which causes a need to do pushups from the knees… (quite a compression if doing regular pushup position)…so I don’t get the hip / core rotation for the pull of the dumbbell after the push up. At least not smoothly. It’s doable…but feels a little less effective.

Used some of your programs in the past and they have been fantastic.
I am trying to set my daughter (17) on solid footing for her future. She is currently playing lacrosse, 12 weeks before the season starts, and needs to improve her strength and overall speed.
Is there a program that you have, that you feel would help to achieve those goals?

I am 41 years old and looking for some recommendations from your website. I enjoy barbell work and also running as well as functional work. I just purchased a 60# sandbag and have a well equipped gym. My fitness level is pretty good as I have done crossfit in the past among many other workouts and can comfortably run 3-5 miles. I started the hypertrophy for skinny guys and really liked that but I would like something with more of a mix of functional work and runs. Preferably 50-60 min.I have navigated through some of the catalog and many plans look good. I tried the SF40 Alpha day 1 today and felt like I had plenty of gas left in the tank. I did an extra round and threw in a tabata to round out about an hour of work.
Can you recommend a couple plans based off of this

I’m a little confused about the wording for the Air Assault course prep. It says that it’s designed to be completed 6 full weeks before the course. So does that mean if my course is June 6th I would have to start the program on March 5th and complete the program on April 24th? Or does it mean that if my start date is June 6th I would have to start the program on April 24th so I can complete it on June the 5th the day before zero day?
