Look at my training schedule

[Julien_A]

Hi all! I'm new to posting but I've been visiting the forums for some months.  I'm currently finishing my secondary and this is the program I'm planning to do for my physical fitness until I'll be in :

Monday : Ruck marching
Tuesday : CrossFit workout
Wednesday : Ruck marching
Thursday : CrossFit workout
Friday : Ruck marching

On week 4, I'll do:

Monday : CrossFit workout
Tuesday : Ruck marching
Wednesday : CrossFit workout
Thursday : Ruck marching
Friday : CrossFit workout

I'll cycle like that and up my rucking to 70 lbs for 15 km, then I'll work on speed. Note that I'll start at 20 lbs for 5 km.

What do you think of my schedule? Is anything unclear?  Thank you for your reading!

You want to incorporate RUNNING into your schedule. You will do alot of it in Basic Training. What about pushups and situps?? You should work on those as well, however, the crossfit might help in that department.

Yes, running should be a large part of your training as it will be abundant in BMQ. If you are just starting, go for 2.4 and try and improve your time.

As for the push ups and sit ups, the CrossFit will cover those muscles but make sure you can do them both before you leave. I worked out on machinery for a while and I actually found push ups and sit ups very aquward when I finally came back to them.

So basically, incorporate some running and practice some push ups and sit ups after your CrossFit.

Best of Luck to you!

Thank you for the answers! I'll take your advice and add running on CrossFit days (maybe on in the morning and the other in the afternoon, something like that) and push-ups and sit-ups on rucking days (they are part of my warm-up in CrossFit workouts).

It will be much better now

When preparing for a course, its best to try to match the type of PT you'll be doing on that course.  Running, marching, pushups and situps are the big ones to be concerned about (I'm assuming were talking about getting ready for BMQ).  Runs on the BMQ course top out around 6Km, theres only so much time in the morning.  When marching, don't go crazy on weight because its easy to hurt yourself then you lose days, weeks or months out of your schedule.  If you feel any pain just putting on the rucksack, take weight out until it feels right.  It'll hurt after awhile, but it shouldn't hurt right away.
