Terminator Training Show

In this episode, I broke down a 1 year SFAS plan, broken down into quarters.

I talk about the main fitness, character building, and personal development concepts for the following time frames:

Today (hypothetically 1 year out)
D minus 12-9 months (tomorrow - 9 months out)
D minus 9-6 months (9 months out - 6 months out)
D minus 6-3 months (6 months out - 3 months out)
D minus 3 months-10 days (3 months out to 10 days out, aka taper)
D minus 10 days to game time (Taper)

Regardless of your timeline, you can find valuable information in this episode geared towards improving your fitness, interoperability, character, and skillsets to set yourself up for success at SFAS.

In today's episode, I discussed 12 common SFAS prep myths and why they tend to hold candidates back.

The myths include:
-Everyone should train the same
-Everyone's prep should be (x) long
-You should ruck w/ 65-70+# in training
-You can prep for selection w/ minimal rucking
-You can do mostly cross training (non running/rucking)
-You can just do CrossFit
-You need to do certain gym exercises
-You need to have specific gym strength #s
-You shouldn’t fuel some of your training sessions
-You should mimic selection conditions (sleep deprivation, team week mimicking events, etc)
-You need to do all your runs and rucks in uniform
-You need to use a sledge hammer/rubber ducky to mimic a weapon

The internet is riddled with self-proclaimed exerts spewing unsupported info about selection prep. There are many issues with this, most notably the tendency to cause paralysis by analysis, which has the potential to moderately to significantly detract from your preparation.

SFAS prep is simple. It requires consistent, hard training, but there's nothing complicated about it. This episode will dispel the BS and hopefully clear your mind from all that doesn't matter, allowing you to focus on the big rocks and acheive your goal of showing up as prepared as possible to crush selection. Thanks for tuning in!

This bonus episode provides an overview of the latest TTM program, the aptly named 2 mile & 5 Mile Running Program. I receive a plethora of questions about many of my programs, and since this program has been released, I've fielded dozens of questions about it in my DMs, so I figured it would be worthwhile to make an episode going over the program. Consider it a "preemptive FAQ" episode.

The episode includes discussion on the following topics:

-Sale extension announcement: 25% off sale now ends Friday, 19 July at 11:59 PM (no code necessary)
-Other program discount code: SPEED25 for 25% off any TTM program or eBook on the website
-What the program is, who it's for, who it's not for
-How it differs from Jacked Gazelle
-Explanation of the pre-program overview, the base phase, and other noteworthy details
-The program structure: phase 1, time trial week, deload week, phase 2, test week
-The weekly running structure in both phases
-The weekly lifting structure in both phases
-Notes on how to execute certain types of runs (speed/threshold work)
-Ways to enhance the programs effectiveness and mistakes to avoid
-What you can expect for results and all the variables that factor into your speed increases

Enjoy the show!
