Functional Fitness, General Fitness, Weightlifting, Functional Training, Personal Training, Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, Endurance, Hunting, SpeedLevel 5 is the most advanced Hard to Kill training program, requiring 6 days of week training that consists of 4 strength sessions and up to 5 runs a week. This means that there are 3 double days within the training week and a long run building up to a 20 miler. Level 5 is a challenging training program but a very rewarding program ready to push you and test you in so many areas of fitness.
Someone who is hard to kill is an individual who expresses an ability to withstand stress and grow despite adversity - someone who is resilient and tough. The best way to train resiliency and toughness is to focus on these 5 pillars of fitness: Run far, run fast, lift heavy, lift fast, jump often.
