Hey Mr. Smith. Got to briefly meet a Navy SEAL / current BUDs Instructor who said he did your 12 weeks to BUDs program and was a key reason he made it through. He swears by it. Is it included in your "The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness Book"?

That is the 12 Weeks to BUDS Program. It is the sub-title of The Complete Guide to navy SEAL Fitness book.
Sir, I have been a long time fan of yours. I was wondering if you had any tips on some pacing for a two-mile run. I seem to be able to get 1.5 miles in a relatively decent time, roughly 10-11 minutes, and it takes another 4-5 minutes to get the next .5 mile. If I pace myself, I just end up slower overall. I seem to ALWAYS hit a wall at 1.5 miles at quick pace. Rucking has never been a problem, and I can run 6 miles with a 45lbs ruck on in under an hour. I don't seem to hit a wall whenever my pace is 9:00/mile or above. Any advice on this issue sir?
Pacing is this same - you just have to do it for longer. It is very possible. Some people pace much long runs (4-5 mile timed runs (BUD/S - Ranger school) even marathon. Muscle memory the pace THEN get in shape so you can handle it for longer periods. Mix in some interval training to push cardio max but focus on your goal pace so you have that down and can suck up those last 2 laps to get your 2 miles down.
Austin Suddarth that last half a mile is a beast
Hey stew I seem to have reached a plateau of 23 pullups on my pst's I need atleast 29 due to my low Csort any help would be appreciated
Stew, nice video. I've always struggled with my PFT's run portion (1.5 mile). Usually 13:30. Just under the minimum. I usually blame it on my 5'6 height and poor running technique which I know are mere excuses. In order to get it around 12 min, would it be better to run many miles at a slower pace to build endurance or run at the target pace for as long as I can then rest and repeat? Hope that makes sense. Thanks.
Assuming you aren’t obese, shorter people tend to have more endurance on average because of their short stature and lighter weight, so height shouldn’t be a problem. You should aim at running at the target pace until you meet it. Couple of things to consider:
1) Wear light and tighter fitting to avoid drag
2) Choose flat and even terrain - practicing on hills is ideal if you want gains but it won’t accurately reflect your best time as slopes slow you down
3) Avoid training on a full or semi-full stomach as this hinders performance
is there a technique specifically for running in boots? I've been getting good at eliminating my heel strike in running shoes....is boots the same way as running shoes? Balls of feet?
DiveBum18 YES - mid foot strikes work well but I have seen all types. Closer to the heel strike and fore foot strike. On the beach if you can find other foot prints / depressions any foot strike works BUT if you are making your own path, you should mid/fore foot and dig into the sand a bit each step.
Stew Smith Thank you very much sir and thank you for these videos and great channel; we appreciate the awesome help!!
speed demon😄
work on the audio man thanks
This is funny compared to British standards. Also, it's really hard to take you seriously when you're constantly glued to the cards reading like it's a book.

Crumpets and tea? you're stuck in the 1900s. mate.
Also, the U.S. is a British colony and pay the Queen tons of money a year.
No need to argue - I can take criticism.
Dude, the Royal Marines have one of the toughest fitness tests in the UKs military... and they do a 1.5 mile run... on a treadmill... that doesn't impress anyone. stop talking shit, nobody likes a troll.
William Burton
No. For the PJFT, we do a 1.5 mile at 2% incline on the treadmill in 12:30 min, then we get a 60 SECOND rest, then we have to do it against, but in less than 10 minutes. We're usually told to aim for 9 - 9:30 min.
This is all done at an incline of 2% with only a 60 second rest... that's just a little test to see if one MIGHT be able to take the training.
We also do it outside at a later date in training.
TheLondonCyclist like I said, that's not impressing anyone.
Hello Mr. Smith. I have a question about the navy seal pst. I saw a video from SEALSWCC.com titled “Navy SEAL BUD/S PST Video Physical Standards Test.” The video showed the standards for the fitness test and when I saw the standards for the run, the video showed in parentheses (Tennis shoes & shorts). When a civilian takes the pst to qualify for a seal contract and they get through the swim, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and get to the run, is the run completed while wearing normal running shoes and shorts or is that information from the video inaccurate?
That is how they test during DEP PSTs now. BUT at Prep and BUDS you will test with boots / pants.
Got it, thank you. I have another question, is the army physical fitness test no longer being used in the army? The reason I’m asking this questions is because when I go on www.goarmy.com to look up the army special forces and army ranger fitness requirements, the website still shows the physical standards for each unit when the army pft was used. Is that information outdated?
