QUESTION
I hope all is well. Just a quick shoutout… your programs are awesome… they are very detailed and well thought out! I do have one specific question. I’m currently using the DEA academy program and I’m having an issue with my intervals. I scored a 13:30 on my 1.5 mile run and based on the interval calculation, I should be running between 3:57:36 and a 4:03:00 for an 800m interval pace. When I try to hit that interval per the 800meter rounds, I find it extremely difficult to keep it at that pace. I usually fall in between an 8/9 minute pace. Is this normal? At the same time I’m trying to drop some weight while doing this and I’m assuming it’s because I’m just a bit on the heavier side at 226lbs? What would you recommend I do to reach that pace for those runs? I’m working hard at this and I am not giving up. Thank you for any suggestions!

QUESTION
I’ve been looking at your programs for a while now and finally have the opportunity to train for what I want and not what military courses I’m going to next. Currently at 2nd Ranger Battalion and looking for a program that encompasses it all. Sort of like a hybrid athlete program that incorporates rucking and the more tactical side of it. I obviously want to life heavier and run/ruck faster than everyone else and still look good. Is there any recommendations for programming? I looked at the operator hector and think that one is the best one for me, any recommendations?

QUESTION
I’m using the LE spirits package. Whenever I do power clean + push press, I quickly develop some lower back strain, especially during work capacity events. I don’t get this with deadlifts or squats. Am I maybe jerking the bar too much, or something else?

QUESTION
I recently started the program for the FBI PFT. I have a question about the running portions. At the start it’s very difficult to run 3 miles at once, or even 800k without stopping. My timeline for completion is by next April, 2025. So I have until then to pass. My current height is 5’ 10 Weight is 258
Is it recommended starting out to light jog/walk when reaching points of exhaustion during those longer runs? I know the goal is to be able to reach those, but starting off what’s recommended?

QUESTION
’m a high school track and field athlete who specializes in shot put and discus. I’m going to be a senior this 24-25’ school year and I am really looking to take my training to the next level. I want to become as strong as I can be, physically and mentally. I love lifting weights and doing powerlifts, but one thing I struggle with is conditioning… along with self image and confidence. I want to become an absolute UNIT in the ring and throw absolutely as far as I can. And I guess my other goal is to become the strongest, leanest version of myself. I’ve tried many times before, but when it comes to running and losing body fat, I always seem to give up. And I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I have interest in joining the military, and I’ve talked to recruiters. But I also want to become a doctor; so as of now i decided that I’m going to go do that first and then enlist. But that doesn’t stop me from wanting to push myself and develop the mental strength, physicality, and values of a soldier! I would love to talk to you about a training program!
