Billy Goat Prep Phases 1&2
The prep phase of All Terrain Fitness consists of two 3 week blocks of training designed to get you up and moving 6-7 days per week and build a solid foundation of conditioning and strength.
Conditioning is the main focus of this program as we prepare to tackle events like GoRuck challenges, or big hikes. You'll be rucking 3 days per week to start; weight, speed, and duration will be mostly up to you.
You'll also be doing some PT/ metcon style conditioning workouts on your non-ruck days, after a short period of strength work.
Every workout day has a thorough warm-up included, and every ruck day has a prep/ mini workout listed before the ruck.
This program is listed as intermediate even though it's meant to be a prep phase, simply because of the frequency of workouts. If you feel like you need to take a lot of rest days, (more than programmed), you'll likely want to cycle through this twice.
