Justin Goonan

This program uses a 3/2 split (3 days running/conditioning, 2 days Strength work) as a preliminary step towards improving fitness levels for military, tactical and/or first responder demographics.

The ever important mobility and recovery are built into the routine in a way that maximizes your readiness for the upcoming, intense challenges.

Rise above the other Recruits
Bored with yet another 4x36? Tired of the 30/60's or 60/120's? Yeah, those MIGHT help...but only if you're working at the right speeds and balancing this work with proper strength/gym work. We've already done the research to know that STRENGTH and SPEED are correlated to better fitness test scores and least addressed in physical training routines. This program covers both.

More with less
You'll be getting all the work in you need in half the time as your counterparts. While others are going back for a 2/day, you'll have more time for studying, eating/recovering or just giving yourself an equally important mental break.
