    Priorities:
    1. Strength
    2. Rucking/training in gear
    3. Some sprints
    Jogging in your bathing suit fits in nowhere. If you have time to do it all, then do it all. But hit your priorities first.

      1. Show me the study that shows this.
      2. If "jogging in your bathing suit" is stupid, then so is lifting in gym shorts with a back brace!

      ​@@acem82completely agree......belts in gyms are stupid.
      And most important, all these larpers pretend like they will always have a trail or road to walk on. No. Go ruck off trail on varied and challenging terrain. An off trail, off camber ruck for even a half hour is more useful than hours on a road.
      And you can do footwork drills like field sports warmups, while wearing a pack.

    False choice fallacy. Do both.
    You don't *need* to run. The question is, is running superior to doing *only* rucking? Is rucking + running superior to rucking + weight lifting?
    Until you ask the correct questions, you won't get the correct answers.

    We worked on some very basic training.
    You have to run 1.5 miles in under 9 minutes in gym kit.
    Thats shorts and trainers.
    You have to do 60 proper pressups in under a minute.
    You had to do twenty dead hang pull ups ( hands over) .
    Then 60 sit ups in one minute.
    In the 1980's you would not qualify for Royal Marine training.
    If you can't do this, you would not even become a recruit.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with running, doing 30-45 minutes of steady-state cardio at 130-145 heart rate is just great for overall cardiovascular health. Now, you can get that same effect from rucking at a hard pace, it doesn't have to be running/jogging, it could be riding a bike for an hour, just get it in some way for heart health. But you shouldn't exclude sprinting and lifting, finding balance is the key.

    post shtf, if you are out and about in daylight, you are out of your ever-loving MIND. ditto if you're making noise (ie, no silencer, no subsonic ammo OPTION) or show a normal light at night or have a fire in daytime. At night, a small fire has to be 2 ft down in a Dakota fire pit, with both your tarp and your poncho around the vent hole, forming 2 cylinders, so that the fire-fight goes no place but straight UP. if you try to use just one membrane, it will glow like a neon sign. Scatter-bury a year's supply of powdered milk, sugar, salt, kooaid and grains around your BOL Bring 120 or so lbs of olive oil and nut butters on the mountain bike when you bugout Keep such foods, in a $200, 7 cubic foot chest freezer fr;om wally's so you dont have to replave them once a year, ditto supplements, spices, seeds.

    Hill sprints or up and down stadiums is the best. I do it to build my lungs so that I’m not wheezing and coughing when it is actually time to sprint in a combat situation. When I was a team leader I made my guys do that for like 15min and they would still pass their PT test. No 6 mile runs just to end up as a broke dick and not being combat ready.

    Since you are going to be dismounted in this world, unlike what you enjoyed with Air superiority (in which you still lost). I would say, in this new reality, that is far more real, you better be able to run, as well as carry a big load. Because you will NOT be able to carry loads like you did when Almighty had stratospheric overwatch on your ass. You will be slow, and you will die. You better be able to run like the fucking wind at the drop of a hat. Haji could, and last time I checked, he won. LMFAO.

    As an individual that lives in a suburb outside a major city, rucking is possible on nature trails.
    The only difference is that you can't do so with a weapon unless you like having to deal with the authorities.
    Any amount of rucking is good rucking, even if it isn't ideal.
    Ruck on these nature trails in boots, pants, whatever you can take with you to look as reasonable as possible while accomplishing rucking.

      They substitute pretty well for a weapon in terms of weight and length.
      And if you find one or paint one in sky blue or pink then absolutely no one will think anything of you having one on the trail, just say your girlfriend let you borrow it. ;)
