Rucking for BUD/S
Hey, I appreciate this community; much more active and helpful than the seals. I have purchased a few TTM programs & nutrition for the love of the game, when I started running I followed VooDoo's base building post. My question: I am shipping for bootcamp in a couple months and I'm a little insecure about performance running boat. Do you guys think rucking 1-2x a week would help with ability to run boat? The load is different than a ruck's obviously, but its still moving under load and I assume doing fast & short rucks would help with leg turnover, endurance, and durability under boat. Thoughts?
Additional info that may be relevant: The standard boat prep is doing fast and hard weighted stair mill workouts, I do not do these because the steps on the stairs are too small and the inability to actually step with my whole foot and transfer weight from heel to toe raped my shins (I think). Maybe I should do them with no weight and work my way to weight. My run times are decent, 9:15 1.5m and 27:30 4m. I do not do too much strength training since I come from a powerlifting background and had to really focus on endurance. I'm around 30mpw right now. Boot camp is around 2 months, we will get terribly out of shape, then buds prep for another 2 months before actually classing up.
