How do I improve my run time? (and actually stay durable...)

In this episode, we answer that and more. We dive into the essentials of running-specific base-building for tactical athletes who need to be hybrid athletes.

Chasing distance or chasing durability? Being a unit that can run? Silencing "I've never been a runner"?

Whether your target is maxing a PT test, toeing the line at a big race, building tactical readiness, or simply staying strong and durable with a running base to match - we unpack the solution where you don't have to choose.

We cover:

• Evals you can use
• Developing your RPE scale
• Why a "stupid amount" of Zone 2 might not be the strategy
• Ruthless prioritization when running and strength both matter
• Why "perfect" pace, shoes, and cadence don't exist - and why chasing them is holding you back

Most tactical athletes think readiness looks like intensity - redlining every session, screaming through lifts, powering through with no plan. It's not. Readiness is built quietly, in the standards nobody sees.

In this episode, we break down 3 principles that separate finishers from DNFs (and give you the actionable roadmap):

1 - Keep Your Composure - Daily, through training, nutrition, and uniform chaos

2 - Max Intent - Do fewer things, at a natural pace, obsessed over quality - not more volume, more hype, more chaos

3 - Delayed Gratification - Long-term planning, short-term execution

You won't remember the metrics from any single session. You will remember whether you kept your composure, trained with max intent, and gave yourself the time to finish strong.

Not everyone's willing to make that sacrifice. Not everyone can endure what it costs.

Stop thinking about the test.

That's how I opened five, hour-long mentoring sessions with people who want to improve their test performance. Supervisors and people struggling weren't thrilled I said it.

In this episode, I break down exactly why I said it anyway - and what exceptional tactical athletes actually train for instead.

Caveat up front: yes, it's a mandatory requirement. Yes, you still have to crush it. This isn't permission to ignore the test - it's a different path to dominating it.

The test isn't the goal... it never was. It's the spot check that you're holding your standards.

Start training for tactical performance, and let the test become a byproduct.

Listen in and steal the roadmap.
