I have just finished my month of conventional weight lifting and I plan on starting the Blitz workout. I also alternate my rucking days. One day I will have atleast 60 pounds in my ruck and I will walk around the rocky area on our HLZ so I can work on the conditioning on my feet. I usually try to go for atleast an hour to two hours depending on mission. The next day I will have around 45 pounds in my ruck and I will stick to the sides of the HLZ where the mounds of dirt are piled up. I try to go as hard as I can for as long as I can, usually averaging around an hour and a half.

I figure with the eight months that is left in this deployment I will be in pretty good shape. My goal is to do atleast one twenty miler before going home if the mission cycle will allow.

After two weeks of rucking I am going to switch off and do an IBA run one day and a regular run the next. This isn't the most original work out routine but I believe the more simple it is then the easier it will be to adjust when something is not giving me the results I believe I should be achieving.
