The SAR Take

10 rounds for time of:
100-m sprint
10 strict pull-ups
100-m sprint
10 burpees
Rest 30 seconds

100 pullup total and 100 Burpees with 2km of running. This should be high-intensity and suck a bit. If you can do it outside then even better.

If you want a link to training programs email [email protected] I have a program for the application pt test and the legacy pt test.

I had a short but unique opportunity to talk to Paul Adams about a Rescue close to Winnipeg, MB. The episode doesn't have an audio intro so you can hear our conversation the first time we have met each other. Ultimately, our chat was cut short, but the details are pretty incredible.

Paul is a very experienced pilot and aviator, he has been in the game a long time and is truly passionate about what he does. Consider this an intro to Paul and I will make sure to produce a full-length episode to dive into his career and experiences. 

Enjoy,
RESCUE!

I sat down with Gabriel Pintal-Godin, who was one of the guys who spoke on this show while they were on course, and talked about the first year at the SAR shop.

PG also tells a Rescue Mission story with a great outcome. He has since done another ops jump after we recorded and so I will publish a 2nd episode this month with a highly decorated pilot who was involved in a Rescue with PG.

Thank you for listening

For Time:
1-mile run
100 push-ups
100 meter bear crawl
1-mile run
100 meter bear crawl
100 push-ups
1-mile run

This workout gives you the feel of a small "motivation" session when preparing for any selection. I wouldn't use how fast I do this as a marker for SAR readiness but instead how well you can do the workout without blowing up or being unable to hold a steady run. 

Enjoy

I have training programs for the SAR Legacy pt test. Email for info

For Time

1,000 Box Step-Ups (20 in)

Wear a Ruck Pack (45/35 lb)

Complete 1,000 Weighted Box Step-Ups as fast as possible (“For Time“). Use a 20-inch Box and wear a Ruck Pack that weighs 45/35 lb for men/women.

If I was training for SAR I would do this with no music or anything and I would wear as similar a pack as the one on selection.
