"The infantry are the only athletes expected to do it all"
Some train to lift every known object, and forget they might need to carry it up a ridgeline
Others post great run times, and forget they have to carry half their bodyweight in gear
Others can sprint on a track or field, and forget that combat is an all-terrain event
You need to be fairly good at everything, and combat punishes the one-dimensional athlete
Concurrent Training for Operational Fitness
Improve your lifts, run, and ruck times with an emphasis on elevation gain
Sufficient volume and intensity to progress fitness for long periods of time
Emphasis on longer hikes to push job-specific endurance
Training after you've passed the beginner status and no longer seeing progress on lighter training volumes
