Fitness | Running For Tactical Professionals

[@heatherburger1666]

Oh shit! I learned a lot and I wish I knew this 10 years ago. Thanks for the knowledge transfer. Got it. Will continue to move forward

[@tmmccormick86]

We (Light Infantry) used to run the perimeter every Friday- which came in at just over 11 miles- on top of the 2-4 mile warm up runs for everyday PT. Then people started questioning why so many guys had chronic shin splints and other leg and back problems. Cardio health is important, and the ability to run is important, but there HAS to be balance and defined parameters for the exercise, and the Army hasn’t historically done that well.

[@Kaiuske]

PT at the infantry level is unfathomably stupid. I couldnt believe that the majority of "PT" guys actually had no idea what they were doing, and it cost all of us our knees.

[@tmmccormick86]

@ there were varying overlapping levels to PT knowledge, I found. On one end of the spectrum you had guys who weren’t athletes prior to service who came up through the ranks doing basic Army manual PT, and they might teach junior soldiers to do what they did- incorrectly. On the other end of the spectrum were the CrossFit guys and the guys who failed NFL tryouts because their sprint time wasn’t fast enough, and they would push for more advanced activities that junior soldiers weren’t prepared for. Both ends of this spectrum caused injuries, IME, and it took very strong and knowledgeable leadership to step in and teach an entire generation how to PT properly to correct the issue. I’m sure it’s still not 100% solved, but I have seen units do things like employ civilian fitness coaches, and that gives me a glimmer of hope.

[@TayBrego_edc]

At this point in my life (almost 40), near-daily running is a mental benefit more than a physical one

[@gabe5875]

im the same way at 22. its mainly mental as it is physical for me now

[@Exploration847]

Running is awesome,

[@Bellicose0311]

I used to run 5-13 miles a day on active duty but I was 165 pounds and the biggest I got on deployment was 190 with stuff. Nowadays I’m struggling to get back to it just because my body is so beat lol. I’m 225 right now, and I decided to get back into boxing, and bring running in slowly, I.E. walks, jobs, runs, sprints. Keeping the distance to just speed walks mixed with slow walks. I never realized how much of a beating 11 years did to my body. So now I’m literally almost needing to start from scratch. It’s a huge hit to the ego, but I didn’t maintain, and my body couldn’t take it anyway.

[@muntjunk-plk3171]

Great way to train decision making is an assault bike in front of video/tv. In Australia they train NRL referees like that. They flog them on the assault bike then put a game clip on and they have to make the correct call. Could definetly do this for operators/police

[@MrCdrant]

Guys will hear this and think it's applicable to them. You're not a 230lb breacher who may have to put hands on a guy in CQB, you don't have the same excuses.

[@JOEJHN]

But you should be.

[@kenkashikovacs]

when the breacher opens the door in cqb,at which number does he get into the building?does he follow the guys after all teammates are in or is he the first of the tip of the spear?

[@thergbcowboy9817]

Who the f*** is this guy.whats your qualifications?the point of the video title is running for tactical professionals… for instance a 230lb breacher.

[@MrCdrant]

@@JOEJHN Being a capable runner doesn't preclude you from being able to defend yourself. Ranger Regiment is full of absolute gazelles who are more than capable of qualifying as "tactical athletes/professionals". 2023 Best Ranger started with a 7 mile run in 25lb chest rig that had a 60lb sandbag at the halfway point, winners did it in 53 minutes. People need to learn to program better. If holding a good 3 mile time takes 2 months of prep or wrecks you for days, you're a a shit bag and your programming sucks.

[@austinplatt8011]

​@@kenkashikovacsSOP dependant as well as dependant on the method of breach. I'm assuming however you may know already and are just calling bub out.

[@Saltlife2182]

Would love to see you do a cardio/aerobic video for firefighters. How they should tailor cardio into their profession.

[@Tovashi]

I like running.

[@ThePoorBoy]

Thanks for the knowledge transfer so that I can be a tactical civilian!

[@lukasBe77]

16:04 no reaction from dj😂🤷🏽‍♂️ emotions are not for him 💪🤩 haha thx for being a crazy killa👌

[@firstimeshooter6590]

Weights hurt the body but cardio hurts the soul. 😅

[@justin540mph6]

I’m getting ready for RASP and I leave around February, I’ve been running as much as I can in AIT but still am not where I want to be. And we only get to run 1 a week at most. Would it be best to run 2-3 times a week instead of every day to increase my long distance 5 mile time during HBL? I’m currently at 40:48 on a 5 mile and a 13:56 on a 2 mile. Anything helps, thanks

[@TheIroncross6]

Yes, run 3x at least. Try 440s (one lap on a track) to drop the 2 mile times; run and then rest 1/2 whatever the time..repeat 8x. You also need to ruck hard; 40 lbs work to 12 miles in 3 hours. If you are a good runner that wont be a issue. AIT sucks because they cater to the lowest common denominator and often dont allow extra efforts.

We've been going for a long time. Where you been

[@stefansasu3763]

🔥🔥

[@iliasamar2837]

Run before entry’s my muscles of the carbs I eat before aka glycogen. Less fuel to the muscle

[@troyfly71]

The long runs are hard on the body. For me 1.5 miles in the hills gets the lungs max expansion and the o2 pushed through the body. I cant get that from riding a bike or anything else. Jiu jitsu gets the lungs going but doesn’t push the legs, calves that much. Feel good the rest of the day for a quick run

[@MrCdrant]

Weak talk. You can't get a workout from a bike or running, but you can from 1.5 miles in the hills? You're just not putting out.

[@PuckChudkins]

You don’t understand energy systems

[@troyfly71]

I understand just fine. If you prefer long distance than have at it. I do what works for me.

[@MrCdrant]

@@troyfly71 You do what is easy and not overly demanding because you're mentally weak.

[@dominus6224]

@@MrCdrantyou’re telling me hill runs for 1.5 miles is easy? Either you’re delusional or haven’t done it yourself. Before you moan how I don’t do long runs or whatever, I do pretty much everything. From short distance to long.

[@jordanwhite7660]

Gbrs!!

[@Pnpjb]

All you need to do is walk up hills with heavy weight and be able to sprint

[@JayIsABoss07501]

When is the hat restocking

[@Taylor-L-m1n]

Fucking best

[@SoCalFreelance]

You can be the best runner in the world but throw on BUD/S standard issue Bates boots and Coronado soft sand and you need to relearn how to run.

[@samuelroselli138]

I heard this rumor you guys believe in extreme ownership.

[@Bmanbran321]

Absolutely zero chance he can run a 9min mile, not even considering being on all that gear 😂😂😂

[@jeremybrio3291]

My PSG was about DJ’s size, was on gear, and was running a 14 minute two miler and passed a ranger PT test so it’s definitely possible.

[@gregtellez6]

Running a 9 minute mile is not super difficult if you’re training….I’m 245 lbs and have been strength focused with only one conditioning day and can still run a 7:30

[@mitchgunner8009]

It's very much possible, I've ran a 7:16 mile basically I was running a 15:31 2mile

[@JoshuaBunkowske]

Get off the couch and stop making excuses!!

[@garetarnold7297]

This is such an ignorant comment. 9 min mile isn’t even fast and you not thinking a former Devgru operator could run a 9 min mile is wild

[@jamesreda5216]

Yeah but at the same time, what is your "heavy leg day" doing for you tactically? Train martial arts and cardio and you will be a better operator than hypertrophy focused bro workouts in a body building gym, IMO.

[@bauerca3263]

It’s maintaining strength and the ability to carry weight reliably, you need to have both cardio AND strength especially in a job where you have to carry weight around all day.

[@doug9522]

And as a power/ speed athlete, at 235 lbs, I can throw your 165 lb. cardio developed ass through the wall. Weight divisions exist in fighting for a reason. Please stop confusing training movement patterns under near maximal loads with hypertrophic 'bro-lifting'. If I can squat 400 lbs for reps and have the equivalent of blue belt skill in jiujitsu; no amount of conditioning will save you.

[@ThrottleRomp]

Soldiering is more than just cardio and martial arts. Most of your days are carrying heavy loads over distance and for long periods. Your kit, ammo, mission essential items, or even your buddy. Strength training shouldn't be neglected. People like to focus on those brief few minutes on the X, but not everything that happens before and after the mission.

[@BurnerTurner]

There is always a place for bodybuilding/hypertrophy style workouts. Nothing wrong with incorporating that as well. Could help you learn how to recruit muscles better and just having more mass on your frame can be beneficial in so many ways. Obviously not too much mass to where it slows you down a lot.

[@JoshuaBunkowske]

What unit did you serve in where you did no rucking lol

[@fluxin9467]

Your body type dictates if you’re a runner or not.

[@GuillotineActual]

Your body type dictates if you have the natural proclivity for running. Your mind dictates if you're a runner or not.
