Hello:
I wanted to write out my upcoming fitness plan and had some specific questions for those more experienced.
Brief background: I have been in the Army Reserve (REMF) for roughly the last eight years. I am gearing up to secure an 18X contract after my Reserve contract ends.
Currently, I am working on a PT program as follows--
Mondays
-Morning: 5 mile run (timed)
-Evening: Upper body (push muscles) strength training
Tuesdays
-Morning: 1hr (brisk) walk; no weight or running (low-impact)
-Evening: Upper body (pull muscles) endurance training
Wednesdays
-Morning: 5 mile ruck (timed)
-Evening: Upper body (push muscles) endurance training
Thursdays
-Morning: 1hr (brisk) walk; no weight or running (low-impact)
-Evening: Upper body (pull muscles) strength training
Fridays
-Morning: 5 mile run (timed)
-Evening: Lower body (strength & endurance rotated every week)
Saturdays
Long or heavy ruck
Sundays
1hr (brisk) walk; no weight or running (low-impact)
___
Every day with also consist of performing several stretches and mobility exercises throughout the day to stay limber and help with DOMS.
Can I get some input on this plan? Am I doing enough? Doing too much?
My thoughts are that I can use no-weight (but still moderately paced) walks as a method of keeping the impact down while still targeting my aerobic capabilities every single day. All runs and rucks will be for time every single time, that way I can track my increases in weight and speed. All runs and rucks will be preceded by sit-ups, leg tucks, or some other exercise that targets the hip flexors.
Thanks for the input.
