    The US Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer School has an attrition rate of 50% due to the high physical demand required of Rescue Swimmers. Although 50 push-ups is the minimum standard, the recommended push-up score itself is 100 push-ups in 2:00 minutes. In order to be able to max this score, military operators such as Navy SEALS implement a training method where an individual who maxes out at around 75 push-ups, does up to 300 push-ups a day.

    Why the name?
    Its a Push-Up Prep Day!

  • Marathon Workout

    Day 5

    Warm up:
    -10 minute jog
    -Full Body Stretching
    -Dynamic Stretching

    Work out:
    -5 mile run at 60-70% effort

    Cool Down:
    - 5 minute walk
    - Cold Shower

    Why the name?
    The legend of the Marathon run dates back to the year 490 B.C. when a military messenger by the name of Pheidippides ran from a battlefield at the site of the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens. When he arrived, Pheidippides was said to have proclaimed "Niki!" ("victory") before collapsing to his death.

    And here you are! You are about to complete your first week of training. Once you finish today's workout, the weekend is yours! Endurance is the third component of a skilled runner. So as you push through these 5 miles, remember the proclamation of Pheidippides; "Niki!"

  • Rest Day Workout

    Day 4

    Warm up:
    - Full Body Stretching
    - 10 minute jog

    Work out:
    -30 minute run at %40-50
    -70 USMC crunches
    - 14 pull ups

    Cool Down:
    Light stretching

    Why the name?
    Well. . .you don't have to know Greek to understand the reasoning behind this name. After a long day doing hill repeats, your legs are going to feel punished, so reward them by taking a nice and easy jog. You will also notice that the amount of pull ups and crunches has increased since you're not working your legs hard. Maybe you're wondering why they're called USMC crunches too. Well, the reason why is because you are training to pass the physical fitness test of America's Spartans.

    In order to score a perfect PFT score, a Marine must not only be able to run 3 miles in 18 minutes (your goal). They must be able to do 100 modified crunches and 20 pull ups in under 2 minutes per exercise. By completing all of these exercises in the given amount of time, a perfect score of 300 points will be awarded to the Marine.

    Rest up and remember that the crunches and pull ups aren't all that bad once you've finished them.

    Why the name?
    - The Taygetos is the highest mountain range in Greece, and is said to have been the final destination of Greek criminals, traitors, and captives. Though being sent to the hill country was a major punishment, you have chosen to take on the hill as an opportunity for greatness.

    Strength is integral to become a skilled runner, and obtaining it entails that you will feel a burn. Remember to focus on your form and kill the hill!

    Although Ancient Greek athleticism became a phenomena that allowed young men to become career athletes, the reason for such an emphasis on athleticism was to train soldiers for war. One of the more brutal games that were played was known as "Pankration." The object of the game was to beat your opponent as close to death as possible. Biting and eye gouging were prohibited, and killing your opponent would merit an automatic forfeit.

    This program will not train you to become a professional Pankatias, but it does recognize the importance of cross-training. Even ancient runners would spar and employ training methods used by Pankatiasts. By training on a heavybag you will be able to complete a respectable core, endurance, and cardio workout without the strain and impact associated with running. Plus its fun!

    Remember that this workout is meant to be used as a recovery workout. Every punch and kick you generate should stem from your core! Feel free to do an additional ab workout before the cool down as well.
