Forget the Instagram highlight reels—Peaches and Aaron are dropping the unfiltered, step-by-step hacks to survive the Air Force Special Warfare pipeline without becoming another quit statistic. This isn’t “drink more water” fluff; it’s the down-and-dirty, why-your-shins-are-dying, how-to-not-faceplant-on-the-IFT kind of episode. From running until you hate life, to fueling like a machine, to training until your friends think you’ve joined a cult, they break down exactly how to build durability, crush run times, and show up already dangerous. Plus, a SIG P320 scandal, why OTS Nashville is about to sell out, and how to tell if you’re lying to yourself about being “ready.”

🔥 Key Takeaways:

  • Time on feet under load is non-negotiable—expect 20+ miles a day in the pipeline.
  • Fast runners graduate more. Period. Sub-7:00 mile pace or bust.
  • The IFT is designed to break you—train it in order, twice, back-to-back.
  • Fuel like an athlete, not a fitness influencer—protein, carbs, color.
  • Hydration isn’t optional—aim for a gallon a day, minimum.
  • Obsession is the entry fee—if your social life isn’t taking a hit, you’re not serious.
