Let's say, hypothetically, i have 4 months to prepare for special forces selection.
Let's also say, theoretically, i have enough strenght but have never ran a mile in my life. Should i just buy a threadmill and run every day until i pass out?

Theoretically, NGMI.
Nah, as long as you are willing to die for Israel they will take you. All good
>SpecOps
>can't run a mile
>can't do pull-ups
>4months
Try next year
I can do pullups, i literally said i have enough strenght. I do cardio its just that i dont run
Thats fine
The upper body stuff is legitimately like 10-20% of being ready. Some of the first shit you’re going to have to do are like unknown distance runs, 25+ miles rucks, and land nav that involves 40+ miles of movement over rough terrain.
Actual, real advice?
Go on to the Special warfare pages for the Air Force. Pararescue, Combat controller, etc and click the PDF workout they have. If you can't do the mile run, substitute a couch to 5k plan on the run days.
You can also contact an Air Force Special war recruiter and ask him about development days in your area. They get all the guys looking to join special warfare together and start doing serious 4 hour training from pull ups to running and swim work.
REMF tards be like
if you can't figure out how to do basic fitness ngmi perma
Yeah you’re going to die basically.
Yes, running, pushups and pullups are the things you'll be doing during PT. I lifted weights exclusively before joining the SF, got my ass whooped during basic but now I can run for miles on end.
Why not just join the IDF directly?
lel - most won't get it.
Achieve these
Bench bodyweight 10 times
Squat bw 1.5x 5
20 chinups
80 pushups
35min 5 mile
Ruck with 65lbs dry 12 miles under 3 hours
As a start. Idk about swimming stuff besides being able to swim 300m in fatigues and boots
Oh yea deadlift 1.5x bw 10 times
Sub 13min 2 mile is also good
>have never ran a mile in my life
Stopped reading here. You’re ngmi. Maybe a hobby like airsoft will quench your thirst for tacticool larping
Pushups, pullups, squats and run 10km a day
>4 months lmao
you're gonna need to be hitting damn top scores for you to be picked
>34 pullups
>120 pushups
>8 minute mile and half run
>good ruck times i don't remember frick rucking
Granted these were for SEAL candidates, that's the numbers we hit in our prep programs for top 1%. My dad died and I dropped to take care of my mom. Honestly not going in was one of the best decisions I made, the guys I know that made through are bored asf, lifting and doing coke. Nobody is getting combat deployments so who the frick cares; you can get jacked and do coke without a boot on your neck.
Not that it matters, because you probably won't get selected anyway.
>Nobody is getting combat deployments so who the frick cares
Sure they are. Didn't you see the news story about two SEALs falling off a ship in Somalia? We only know about that mission before two SEALs died. Without a doubt there are a bunch of missions we never hear about.
>fall off a boat
>die for nothing
>national news
All of my buddies are sitting on base in Cali, frick that shit. Oh btw, SF guys roid. We were roiding in prep lol.
>be seal
>cant swim
grim
It was night and they had full gear on. I would think they train for situations like that.
They should have been wearing life preservers
you're fricked if you're in open sea for days. SEAL or not, either way imagine being that dude
>train for 3 years
>finally get a deployment
>buddy falls off boat
>jump after to help him
>die in open sea
I can't believe I wanted to do this moronic shit lmao.
Surely the navy gives these guys baby shark water wings and an sos beacon... right?
Special Forces requires a lot of stamina.
Here's your threadmill, bro
I trained for a special operations career for several years before becoming medically disqualifed for some bullshit eye condition that doesnt even impair my vision.
Special operations training across all branches requires a very high aptitude of running. You have to be very well conditioned. I was running 1.5 miles at 9:20 and it still wasn't as competitive as most candidates (fortunately I got it down to 8:31).
There are several steps you'll need to take into becoming a better runner.
a. you have to be running almost everyday. 5-6x a week. If you're not running enough you are preparing yourself for failure. Don't get hurt doing it. You should slowly ramp up your miles.
b. Get on the track. Run intervals of 400m and 800m with timed rest in between (2-3 min).You should have a goal of running sub 1:30 for 400m and 3:00 for 800. This will get your PFT, PST, IFT scores to improve.
3. Invest in high quality running shoes. Do your research
4. You have to be able to run for a long period of time and a long distance. You should shoot for a 7-8 minute pace for runs longer than 5 miles. Hell, to be competitive you should be running at a 6 minute pace.
Buy a Stew Smith book and dedicate yourself.
If you don't take your training seriously you WILL fail!
Also why do you only have 4 months?
Do you want to go into Special Forces in the Army?
Do you have a contract?
didn't notice i switched from lettering to number kek
start running
