I ruck 12 miles every Saturday, with a 50 pound ALICE in very basic Altama boots, on a 5 path rotation that varies terrain from flat sidewalk to steep hiking trails.

I do 5 sets each of 40 pushups and situps before I go to bed.

On Sundays, I run sets of 800m sprints for time.

I log everything and try to be as administrative as possible.

As my ship date draws nearer, I will train on an indoor ropes course to acclimate myself with navigating tall obstacles while fatigued.

Additionally, I am reading "Chi Running" and working its techniques into my current running regiment. To help prepare for the land navigation, I have an instructive computer program a Ranger friend gave me, as well as the various online resources I have found. It is also being taught to me by some of my friends in the Ranger Challenge element of my university's ROTC.

I have cut as much sugar and salt out of my diet as I consciously can, completely cut fried foods and pork, and I only drink water and coconut or almond milk. For supplements, I am taking a multivitamin and fish oil. I make a point to rest one full day a week.

My frame of mind is that no matter where my fitness level is when I attend SFAS, I will be pushed past anything for which I can safely prepare, but I would like to set that bar at a high enough point that I can give precedence to the mental aspect of selection and be cognizant enough to assist anyone around me against being burdened by more than their fair share. The reality that there will be physical tyrannosaurs there inspires me to always push a little harder.

As of right now, my run times are abysmal and my pullups need work. I have a perfect pullup in my house and do at least 5 every time I pass underneath it.

As far as pushups and situps goes, I am at 87 and 120 respectively.

Any critique and advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is not recommended that you use fish oil near to selection or deployment. While great for your health and training regimen, its consumption can also cause you to bleed out very quickly as it has blood thinning properties.
