- For our final installment of the SOFLETE guide to the Army Combat Fitness Test, Doug and Christian discuss the merits of training for the two mile run. They don't agree on much, other than running is for cowards.

You mean to tell me that those 10 mile runs with Top on Fridays ain't doing it?! Who would've known!

When he asked for a cigarette after the run four soldiers popped in my head 😂😂
So as a kinesiology grad, freaking THANK YOU for what you said at the 2 minute mark. All my friends coming out of the service with blown out knees always talked about the constant 5 mile runs, multiple times a week. It's as if other cardio doesn't exist in the military. Hell, swimming for 30 mins to an hour would be great and low impact
I know right? Reminds me of my old middle school, would do nothing but miles upon miles of runs lol. Was stupid bad.
Let's be honest. The ACFT was made by a bunch of cross fit officers. And want to flex on dudes with a 2 mile run after doing 5 events
Totally! If your workouts have a stupid name, like Dirty Jane, etc., you might be a crossfitter.
When I heard "meet me outside, we'll show you how it's done", I had a flash back - my legs started shaking and my butt hole clutched up lol. You never want to hear that from two NCOs lol
Solid content as always gentlemen.
In Norway you got different tests when it comes to running.
At MJK ( Seals in Us)
5km with 9kg ( backpack):
Minimum time 25m, competive 22.
15 km rucking: 20kg back pack and + weapon
Max time 2.5 h
Not sure about competive times here.
This is done at the same day
Fsk ( green beret in Us)
Rucking: 30km
22kg back pack + weapon and water + food. Total weight 28kg
4h and 40 min
Rectangle run
2 sides is 15 meter
2 sides is 7
On 15 meter sides you gotto hit your chest
7 meter side. Your back
1 round is all 4 sides.
Total rounds minimum: 32 in 10 min
Do you make a run plan that does the running for you? Im really trying to take this running thing seriously without running, ya know?
Monitoring your HR is also important. Maintaining 140-160 (can be adjusted for age and shape) for 5-10 minutes will help condition your body for this type of running.
Thanks guys I really needed this video. 👍
Cigarettes are for winners ...love it .
🚫🧢 went from a 8:35 mile to a 5:53 mile in 1 week off pasta and fat doinks 😂
Also, fix your shitty stride, and get the right shoes!! When I was an instructor at SWCS, I saw a lot of experienced team guys who had been running for years with really poor mechanics. I was lucky enough to have a professional trainer help me rebuild my stride from the ground up, and even though I used to max out my 2-mile run score, it improved my running. And, if you choose running shoes based on whatever is sold at the PX, go to a real running store (if you can find one), get some expert advice, and choose a shoe that is right for you and fits properly!
What would be good cues they taught you as to how to fix your stride ?
I am planning on doing the ACFT soon, I am rather strong, but also rather heavy (220 lbs for 6'1) . I am having difficulties with HRP ( as they are actually different to benching I feel) and running (I haven't timed myself yet, but I don't think I will do well given my weight).
Sorry to ask, it might help a lot. Thanks
I just erased a long commentary on my thoughts on the new PT test. Erased it because it doesn’t apply to me anymore. One thing hasn’t changed, higher ups (officers) making changes to standards they never exceeded and setting standards that will never apply to them.
Shooot, you right about that. I maxed out everything BUT the 2 mile run lol
Weak
Are going to go over the alternative events. Row and bike?
I always wonder what kind of sadist keeps the 2 miles run?
10:37 in highschool
12:05 in basic training
11:27 in AIT
I want more now
what are the events before the 2 mile run that makes it so hard?
Sprint drag carry
You had me at "officers" but not all of them. I knew from our country who rose from the rank through their merit.
Yea but we wouldn't admit that..
Better safe than sorry.
Why does that look like chicken road on Bragg?
"smokes are for winners. Fuck you". Hahaha love it
Let me just say. I'm an Officer and I HATE running lol Great video!
Only reason I've been doing 10k's is for the potential of RASP
Wow.... My old ass still remembers when the run's max score was less than 12 minutes
@Mister Jane Doe the sprint drag carry will take a lot out of your legs before the 2 mile
@Mister Jane Doe back then all you had to do was situps and pushups before the run. there are a lot of cardio events and other events that challenge with minimum breaks
The 2 mile run is such an odd event to test. It should be 1.5 miles or 5 IMO. 2 is just a weird distance. But tradition I suppose.
R.E Factor it should be a 5k
Michael Horita I don’t think a 5k is a good test distance either. 1.5 seems to be a sweet spot in terms of testing a persons cardio vascular fitness without overdoing. There are studies that point to the 1.5 being a better distance than 1 mile, 2 mile and 3 mile. And obviously that is counter to my proposal of a 5 mile run but the reason I include it is I think it’s much better test of cardio endurance compared to a 2 mile run.
You know how many fat asses, sorry people with massive necks. Would not be able to even get close to a 5k.
Fuck that 8k
Just do a marathon already.
The hard truth 😂😂
A link in the description would help
I’m aiming for 13
Used to run the 2 mile's at about 11.20. New Zealand Infantry in the early 1980's.
Can you post a link to the running plan?
www.soflete.com/acft
moderate - is the term
Cold out there christian?
I assume you mean regular commissioned officers, and not Warrant Officers who came up the through the ranks. Shout out to the 180A's.
Are Warrants even actually still in the military? They certainly aren't going to be trifled with something like the ACFT.
Cigarettes are for closers !
Is the max really 13:30? I could’ve sworn I saw somewhere that the new max was 12:45. 13:30 as a max score seems like a joke
Day Man it’s the army
They keep changing it since people are failing it and no one was maxing it.
ijdiaz1 don’t speak about the army when you don’t know jack shit. The max was set at 13:30 because the new ACFT has the run as the LAST event after a 3-rep deadlift max, hand release pushups, sprint-drag-carry, leg tucks, and weight ball throw. You are going 100% in all those events and after all that you then run the 2 mile. Good luck buddy. The max for the 3 rep deadlift is ~400. I want to see someone run a 13:30 after doing that weight 3 times.
2 miles in 18min lol that's easy
British army test is 2 mile W/ boots carrying 18kg with weapon in 18mins.
Exactly! My last Brecon 2 miler with 35lbs weapon, water, smock and helmet was 16.19
miles or km
Why does he keep holding a cup on his hand most of his video?
the real standard is 11:54, which is a mirrored 911, not many, officers or NCO, know much about the significance of numerology in warfare. When I went through Q course they did not adopt the standard change and stuck with sub 12min for a reason even though few achieved it
I've read your words, but I'm not sure I understand what they mean in the way you've assembled them.
The top 1% know this and use it to their advantage.
That's because numerology doesn't mean shit. Not in warfare or anywhere else Neither does astrology, phrenology, or any other made up, fake pseudo-scientific bullshit. I hope you were never in charge of anybody.
But I used to tell my students in the SF Warrant Officer course that the MOS designation 180 represented the about face we all did when we turned our backs on the NCO corps.
Alaskans smoke after they run :)
How bout that Marine Corps PFT 3 miler ? Lol.
K, we trying to flex or something? How about the Army RPFT 5 mile?
So ... we train like green berets now? LOL
Cigarettes are for winners... well played
I bet his cup is empty and he's using it as a prop
Cft + army =acft
So long story short it’s gonna suck
" I'm going to group and we have to run 10 minute 2 miles.blah blah blah ". Cool, glad that my SF guys are more fit than your avg Joe or else why the fuck would they be exceptional war fighters. This new ACFT is way better for the Army than any stupid 3 event garbage antiquated test.
