Reply To: Army Special Forces Selection (SFAS)

Thanks for your questions;
We have 1 on 1 coached many military athletes for SFAS, Ranger, the long walk, Dev Gru and more selections. We use esentially the same methods I spoke about in those MOPs and MOEs podcasts that you listened to and have had pretty much a perfect record of getting guys through those selections (one guy got dropped but invited back to the long walk). We don’t advertise this but we’ve been doing this for years and consult with a few of the SOF groups on training programs.
You need tons of Zone 2 work mostly running. Everyone is going to be fit for the first week. What you need though is to be fit and recover well all the way through the progrm and that is what this aerobic base will do for you.
We are still building the Tactical section of our website and I hope to have that up this month. There you will find a hiuge amount of info pertaining to all these selections. They all share one thing: The use long duration, day after day movements and scenarios so require that aerobic base.
We have produced one tactical training plan that has now been tested by a few dozen Rangers and has gotten great reviews. I have not had time to get it up on the site yet but here is a link to it in the Training Peaks store https://www.trainingpeaks.com/training-plans/other/tp-376820/military-athlete-foundational-plan
Stay tuned for more plans and the Tactical Section.
