OBJECTIVE

I have designed this page to serve as my training log in order to free myself from the restrictions of the software I have so far been using. Though in the past I have designed plans to prepare for certain triathlons, half and full-Ironman races, ultramarathons and other events, my current training plan is designed around one goal: BUD/S. If anything you see here appears at all random to you, rest assured there is a very specific method to my madness. This plan is a collaboration between myself and my primary training partner, Brian S., and is a culmination of years of experience developing and executing advanced-level training plans designed to produce world-class fitness and performance.

There is no undertaking in the world as comprehensive or demanding as BUD/S. Put simply, you have to be able to do it all, and at an extremely high level of proficiency. BUD/S is not a boot camp; it is a 6 months long endurance test designed to find indestructible men who can do the impossible, and weed out the rest. Only the toughest and fittest applicants the country has to offer even make it in to BUD/S, and once there, 90% routinely fail to survive past the first of three phases. The SEAL Teams have the highest fitness standards of any military unit in the world, and we have developed this plan to prepare ourselves to meet those standards, guided by the uncompromising principles held by those passionate about preparing for war. From here until I ship out to the Navy, there will be no more deliberately easy workouts. I intend to push the envelope in my best effort to become as prepared as possible for the rigors of BUD/S. And seeing as BUD/S is the sole focus of this webpage, I have included some related videos for my motivation and your edification.

THURSDAY 1/20

A.M. SWIM: Long Distance

Warm up:150m freestyle at moderate pace, 100m Combat Side Stroke
Main Set: 3000m timed w/ fins

Time: 57:29 (27:50 at 1500m)

RUN: Speedwork

"Sprint-Jogs"

Run 1 mile warm up, then 200m all-out sprints with 200m jogging recovery between intervals for 2 miles, run 1 mile cool-down.

Notes: Good workout, kept good form throughout. Achilles Tendons started bothering me towards the end, but made it through just fine.

P.M. SWIM: Tempo Speed

Main Set 1: 2x500m CSS timed
Main Set 2: 5x100m CSS sprints

Notes: Somehow bonked during the second 500. Guess I need to eat more. 500s were awful, sprints were pretty good though.

CLIMB: Sport Rock

All bouldering today. Arched for 20min to start, then sent a V3+ and a couple V2s, worked on a couple other V2s and V3s. Arched some more and did a little campusing to finish off.
