Thank you. I will consider a coach, however I have saved up money in order to take time off to train and prepare full time the next 9 months. I’m not sure I can afford a coach. Mentally regarding grit I have trained this through many years of sport and adventures. Only time will tell if that is what it takes. I find the transition from high performance sport mentality to SF operator mentality to be somewhat of a challenge. Maybe this is due to the unknown nature of SF.
My training is shifted completely. I only do rucking, running, strength training and swimming. I know the training is not everything, however I want to maximize the gains from the training I do. I live where there are no real hills or mountains so therefore, I am wondering what I can do to increase the aerobic demand slightly, now that my heart rate and perceived effort is very low during long distance rucking. My ideas are listed in the original post. To me doing aerobic work at 50-70 % of aerobic threshold seems too low? Maybe I’m wrong.
I am training for the SF marine unit in Scandinavia.
