"Before your advice and program, my training was more glycolytic and less pleasant. Previous training cycles would leave me with small aches in my shoulders, neck, feet, knees, etc. This time, I feel much stronger and more resilient. No injuries. And weirdly enough, I enjoyed the long aerobic run and ruck each week. I’m probably gonna add those into whatever else I’m doing just for recovery. “ Marty Bishop, United States Army
