Ok - I think I have an idea of what to do now. @offwidth, @ali, @Patrick O'Keeffe, @Anna C, @Oscar.
I came across Oscars post https://www.strongfirst.com/community/threads/practice-frequency-5-or-7-times-a-week.11062/ and found a lot of really good information here. I also searched for anyone else who has trained for a GORUCK event and came across this article How to Use StrongFirst for Successful GORUCK Prep | StrongFirst. Between these two sources of wisdom I think I have found a plan.
Here is my plan:
Monday: 45 minutes of calisthenics/running
Tuesday: S&S heavy
Wednesday: 45 minutes of calisthenics
Thursday: S&S light
Friday: Ruck (drop to 30lb weight) for 1.5 hours.
Saturday: S&S medium and cross training
Sunday: Rest
I’m getting a heart rate monitor for the Maffetone method with swings and using the A +A plan to train for strength and endurance. I understand that this isn’t pure S&S but it really fits my goal for preparing for a GORUCK tough.
