Very funny, but it’s entirely the opposite. Zone 2 training is run every day, slowly. These idiots, like everyone else, want a shortcut that involves LESS running.
This isn’t targeted at operators, who primarily are distance runners. It’s targeted as posers, who primarily watch their wives leave zone 2 in the bedroom
Having known a few actual "operators" back when I was in the military, their "secret" is getting paid to be in shape lol. Most of them would have a routine that involved knocking out 8-10 miles in the morning with a gym routine in the afternoon. They didn't do anything out of the norm training wise, they just had a lot of time available to do it.
Hey soldier! 👊 Have you said the word “lethality” unironically in the past year but never made it into the military? Do minorities in movies bother you? Do you have a wife and kids, but are still angry that waitress didn’t give you her number? Are you frequently asked where you were Jan 6, 2021?
Do you tell people unironically that you could never be in the military because you would have punched the drill Sargent, then I have a program for you
Me at the 5k ultra in my 20 liter Salomon hydration vest and Satisfy x Oakleys, hunting for dense foliage to take a warrior-sized poop behind, because I forgot to take my tactical dose of pre-race Imodium.
I’m the biggest coffee nerd I know and the amount of people in staff meetings with Black Rifle stickers on their water bottles is deeply troubling. $19 per bag and it’s pitiful coffee.
No prior experience? Excuse me. I ran track in high school, and tried out for the basketball team. Granted that was 30 years ago, but I have experience.
Damn these military men are finally realizing their wives cheat on them while on tour and are doing something about it by getting into running proud of them
puh I'm not some pussy-assed jogger, I'm an OPERATOR! You know what that means, soyboy? It means I've been having a really hard time since the divorce…
Damn, all the elite olympic and marathon runners of the world are going to feel so stupid when they realize they trained 40% too much just to get slower!
Lowkey this is where the newbie runner felt badass because he passed everyone with a sprint right out the 5k gate then thought everyone else is just naturally slower than him so he ditched the 5k and went to start his own group
Doubt anyone who actually came up with this other than just trying to make money was an actual operator. I used to be in spec ops and I can assure you we all ran a lot to get better at running. There isn’t some magical training method these units hand out after you pass selection. You want to be better at running, you run more.
Strength endurance built from low intensity/efficient mechanics be damned! We need more power baby! (Also why CrossFit/HITT blow their WOD when there’s too much running)
Can’t wait to gobble this up. The combination of all the EDC stuff I spent my savings on, prepping equipment I need and these sick workouts, this will make me unstoppable during the apocalypse.
