QUESTION
Hello.4Whether it be individualized training or an existing program? It is just the physical events: pull ups, push ups, sit ups, 5mi run, 10mi ruck. The events are in that order, there is a break between the run and ruck
ANSWER
I don’t have a perfect plan for you … but I have close. Do the Ranger PFA Training Plan with these changes: 1. Add in the 10 mile ruck after the 5 mile Run, and change the Thursday Run Intervals to 2x 3-mile Ruck Intervals using the MTI Ruck Calculator. Rest 15 min between ruck efforts. https://mtntactical.com/shop/ranger-pft-training-plan/

QUESTION
Hey Rob. Long story short, I’m out of shape but used to be in great shape. I prefer functional fitness and used your plans in the past. I have two questions.
1. Is the max effort strength + aerobic base training a good mix of strength/cardio? Do you have recommendations to look at other plans?
2. Do you have a list of workout substitutes in the event I don’t have the equipment or have injuries that prevent me from the movement? For example, the mentioned plan has sandbag clean and presses, etc. but I only have access to a traditional gym that only has racks, barbells, etc.
ANSWER
Big 3 Strength + 1.5 Mile Run Training Plan. The 800m threshold intervals will suck! … but will snap you back to the right mindset! Plus .. the assessed and progressed strength work won’t let you slack. Good luck! https://mtntactical.com/shop/big-3-strength-1-5-mile-run-training-plan/
QUESTION
Hello, if I missed a day due to getting called into work and working all night, can I bunch yesterdays and todays workout into one day if they are working two different areas?
ANSWER
Hi Morgan – yes … but generally it’s best just to shift all the programming to the right. Don’t skip sessions, follow them in order – and just pick up where you left off when you get back to training
QUESTION
Hi, What is the best plan for a44 year old police officer with a foot injury that cannot run long distances. Ive gone from 360 to 275 and want to lose more weight and gain strength. Full access to a gym and I own weight vest and sandbags. Don’t know where to start.
ANSWER
Start with the LE On-Ramp Training Plan (https://mtntactical.com/shop/on-ramp-training-program/). There is some running in the plan (up to 1.5 miles). If that’s not doable due to your foot, you can substitute the running with a bike or row machine. Translate the run distance to time. So assume 1 mile run = 10 minutes. Following the On Ramp program, recommend moving to the LE Spirits Training Packet (https://mtntactical.com/shop/law-enforcement-spirits-plan-training-packet/).
QUESTION
I had some questions about two of your programs. The first program I’m thinking about is run ruck improvement plan, and the second is the PayOps selection. I’m about 17 weeks out from selection, and want to do them both in, Run/Ruck first. Does this seem like it would make sense?

QUESTION
I’m looking at starting to train for a 100 mile race. I’ve used your plans to run a 100K a few years ago and loved it. I noted that your latest update to the 100 miler significantly expands the duration of the training, but the peak volume appears to be similar. I’m curious if there are any other major training differences from the previous version besides the more gradual ramp-up and longer taper?
Thanks!

QUESTION
I was interested in introducing one of your training packages into my weekly workout program in preparation for hunting season and trail running. But, I recently injured my LCL, and I have not been able to get back to my regular workout routine. I was wondering if you could recommend a few of your exercises that would be beneficial for the next 2-4 weeks. I have access to an elliptical machine. Opening season for elk will start 10/1/2023. Once I am cleared by my doctor, I’ll be able to start one of your full workout packages.
Could you help me in the meantime with a light duty exercise recommendation?

QUESTION
I used the military on ramp plan to come back from an injury. I’m wrapping it up and am wondering if you have a recommendation on what to follow it up with. I’m interested in having general and military fitness with about an hour a day to commit 5 days a week. I’d like to train BJJ alongside this but only spar hard once or twice a week. I dug through a bunch of programs and a lot of them start with 1RM assessments which concern me.
