Yeah, I forgot to add that towards the end of summer start swapping runs for ruck marches. The US Army Rangers used to do one longish ruck march each week, they decided that was enough with their other PT. Guys getting ready for SFAS typically ruck march 3-days/wk. Definetely no more than that. Two middle distance and maybe one longish ruck each week, max.
