Thanks for all the advice. Right now I'm doing PT every other day and running on every non-PT day for varying distances depending on whether or not I'm doing a hill workout, slow distance day, or whatever. Typically my runs are from 3-6 miles, but I plan on bumping up my distances early next year since I'm planning on running the Boston Marathon next spring. My PT workouts are typically Pyramid sets (1-2-3-4-5-6-5-4-3-2-1) of 1x Pullups, 2x Dips, 2x Pushups, 3x Situps, 3x Lower back with some light weights if I didn't feel it was enough. When I want to switch it up, I will typically do 5x30 pushups, 5x10 pullups, 5x20 dips, and a bunch of ab/lower back exercises.
As for rucking, I'm picking up some danner desert acadia's later this week and will be working on my rucking along with daytime land nav from then on. I'll probably follow the workout schedule I posted earlier and see how that goes ( http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/sfas/prepare.html ).
As for the land nav. I've read that the star course is something that a lot of people fail just because they can't navigate at night. To be quite honest, while I have some very basic land nav skills, I am aware that I am severely lacking in land nav skills (especially at night). I was wondering if anyone could recommend a book or should I search around for local land nav courses and sign up for one?
Thanks again for the help. It's greatly appreciated
