Congratulations. When I was in the Army and stationed in Germany (88’ 89)we would have a PT test every quarter, if you got a perfect 300 you got a four day pass. (Big insensitive) I am proud to say I maxed it every time… my best 2 miles was a 11 minutes flat. Now I’m 61 and in the worst shape of my life 🤷🏼‍♂️

Damn, that’s incredible. I was in from 94-98 and that 15:54 time limit was the Bain of my existence for the last three years. lol.

@GrittySoldier Would you consider providing an ambitious-but-doable “GetFitAgain” program for older veterans like myself (I’m 62). I’m sure there must be other older vets like myself who still eat healthy and workout regularly…but would like to get back into their “Fightin’ Trim” again…albeit without injuring their older bodies…to re-attain a reasonable level of well-rounded military fitness. Thoughts?

Hey bro congrats. Im 200 pounds and my fastest mile is 6:05 and I was dying. You beat me by a LOT. Enlisting in the army at 32 years old trying to get 11B and Ranger+Airborne.

EVERYTHING 😂

Going to Overshare about myself a little bit. So I had my associates degree and was trying to go and figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Went in the workforce for a bit and did a bunch of things. Met my wife and my she has an uncle who is a colonel for an uncle so I decided to go do Air Force ROTC. Somewhere during this I started watching your videos, and I’ll be honest it was mainly for entertainment not practical application. Air Force doesn’t need people like the other branches do and I was cut along with a quarter of the other cadets for not getting a slot. Not an issue to me. Plan B has always been another way to make Plan A work. Since then I finished my degree this past December and have my letter of recommendation and submitting my OCS package. I truly don’t care what I do in the military as long as I can be the best example I can be for others in my personal life and physical fitness. Thank you Gritty. Excited to do this military build and other programs as I get ready for basic and OCS. I know at the end of the day it’s a battle against myself and you already put the guides out there. Now I put the work on my end.

You’ve got an awesome path in front of you, with plenty of obstacles to overcome and be proud of on the back end. Keep that shit up, stay motivated!

That is awesome brother!

Awesome job Gritty, I want to say thank you because you have no idea how much you've helped me get better in my young Infantry career. I hope you have an outstanding day. God bless.

Very impressive brotha! Leading from the front, by example and letting your actions do the talking. Keep inspiring!

Hell yeah!! Bout to go order this training program right now!

Can I ask what time you hit for a 5km? I'm doing a 4km run with a 10kg weight vest (After a 30min Tabata workout) in 23 mins flat. I haven't just done a run by itself, so I'm not really sure what time I should be looking for.

Nice job, tryna get fast like this 😮

Have you got a video around your weekly training? Would love to see it!

HELL YEAH!

What’s stopping you?

Awesome run, I also want to improve my speed so I’m going to check out your program, but I also have a couple questions. 1: You shared your weight, but can you also tell us your height and approximate body fat %? I’m wondering how much of a factor that will be for me in hitting my goal. 2: I’m getting ready to enlist (18x) and tryout for special forces, so their timed run is 2 miles in 13ish minutes I think. I’m wondering how different the training would be given double the distance. Obviously pacing would have to be given greater importance as an all out sprint would be simply unsustainable over that duration. Right now my two mile is probably somewhere in the 15-16 min range

Just wanted to verify that Gritty is in fact the REAL DEAL. Saw you in a VTC today (yesterday) that I did NOT expect to see you in and almost fan’d out in front of the boys 😂 the first things they said was, “check out the dude with the strong jaw line!” Haha

Your tibs need conditioning before you increase speed. Search ATG tib raise to condition them

How well does this translate into a 5 mile run
