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.

Benchmark Test: 200m freestyle sprint


Notes: Skipped the 1000m set due to being pressed for time to get running. 2:30 on the 200m sprint.

RUN: Long Distance

Distance: 14 miles
Time: 2:33:20
Pace: 10:57/mi

Notes: Ran at Fountainhead, 7 miles out then back with Brian. Hard goddamn place to run. Ran it way too fast, legs definitely not recovered from the leg PT last week. For most of second half, legs were good to go on the flats and descents, but refused to manage anything meaningful on the uphills. Never bonked. Was supposed to be the 18 miles to Bull Run, had to cut it short in order to make it to our lead-climbing class on time tonight. Trail was also muddy/icy/soaked, which made it harder and slower.

CLIMB: Sport Rock Sterling

First night of lead-climbing class. Did a couple easy routes in the class, then a few 5.9s.
