First Responders


Military, LEO, Firefighters, and EMT's are not endurance athletes, they are all strength athletes first and foremost. There are Military troops and Cops who feel they need to run 20-30 miles a week to be in fighting shape. How is running that far going to prepare them for picking up or dragging someone to safety while wearing all their gear? Why would they need to run that far when they are issued a rifle that's effective to 500 meters, a radio, and usually a vehicle? Get strong then in condition, be more effective.

Training:
Press 3x5
Rest 5-10 minutes
26-22-18-14-10-6
6-10-14-18-22-26
Double-unders
Burpees
For time
