You’ve put in work in the gym. Every rep, every session, every pound added to the bar - that didn't happen by accident. You built real strength, the kind that takes years of effort, not weeks. Now you need to run. And here is where the programming problems arise. Every program you’ve started either treats strength and running as a trade, or just burns you out. There always seems to be a compromise… Run more, strength numbers slip Maintain strength, get outpaced Combine both

In Uniform. Limited Time. Here's Exactly How Tactical Athletes Should Train. "Stop thinking about your PT test." That's how I started five, hour long PT mentoring sessions I was tasked with. Leadership with people failing in the room were not ecstatic about my hot take, but I asked them to trust me (and pay attention). So we're on the same page: I'd rather watch paint dry while eating glass than only train hand release pushups, plank, the 2-mile, or any other test components.

Adrenaline pumping, locked in, and let's be honest, fear racing through the veins. The starting line is a great place to be. But, many tactical athletes don't toe the line and make excuses to why now is not the right time. Being busy, tired, stressed, and “have a lot going on” is the baseline. News flash: It only gets worse with time, and life doesn't randomly get stress or responsibility free. So do we just bulldoze through even harder? No. We pick one thing, and create a st

Part 1 - 3 Runs The Tactical Athlete Needs to Dominate The 2 Mile Part 2 - The Unsung Hero For Dropping Run Times (Strength Training) Neither running or strength training wins the 2 mile alone, but both of them run on fuel. That's the part almost nobody trains with the same intention they bring to the track or the gym. Running and strength are half the equation. This is where we close the other half. Every tactical athlete I onboard gets the same first assignment: track your

We finished Part 1 with a running game plan. Easy, hard, and moderate runs throughout the week, moving slow, fast, and practicing pacing. Your internal monitor and RPE gauge are improving and you're practicing the skill of running. If you don't do anything else, your run times will improve. But, we need to realize improving runs and performing at full capacity are completely different things. If you want to perform at full capacity, you need the strength to support it. Withou
