Just finished the Bastogne Memorial Perimeter walk, awesome event. 22KM, and I was the only person crazy (or dumb) enough to do it with a 60 lb ruck on his back!
Also been doing 200-300 push ups and sit-ups per day as I work.

I wish we had some uneven terrain, even a small sized hill or two. East coast Florida is just too flat, and I miss the mountains. I think the closest I have to replicating that is running and rucking in soft sand either at the beach (early in the morning to avoid the weird stares towards a guy with boots and his dad's old alice pack) or at the trails in our "woods".
And for the actual subject of the thread. I run 5-6 days a week (30-40 mpw) not for SFAS but because I just like running. Other than that, high reps of your basic calesthenics (pressups, pullups, squats, etc) and rucking. And of course, my favorite, long open water swims in constantly 70-75 degree water.
Any other hopefuls in the Space Coast area, PM me.
