Gradually increase your reps for the cals and increase the mileage and decrease the times for the runs and rucking and your PHYSICAL prep will be up to par. Sounds like you have the PHYSICAL tools at this point if ask me...It's the MENTAL, positive, focused, determined, no-quit, MINDSET that will determine your faith in SOF training. Stay positive!!!  |
I do not disagree, but that was not the question he asked. And no, we do not do the "boring military stuff", that is baseline stuff. I am talking about particular requirements for skiing, scuba, long duration efforts without sleep and food, etc, etc, etc. You can be in the best physical and mental shape possible but fatigue "makes cowards of us all" and we are routinely pushed beyond our own self-determined physical and mental state. My answer has nothing to do with machismo, treating the FNG like crap which would not be tolerated by me BTW, or anything else other than to answer the lad in a straight forward way based on what we do and what I have personally experienced.
