#DailyBloggingChallenge (192/200)
It is just over 100 days out until the first #GORUCK #Selection in #Normandy, #France.
The quoted post is an example workout of where to start if two years out with some fitness capabilities. The main issue is that the weight is about 20-60 lbs too light. Thus the plan that is constructed is to meet the fitness requirements and less on accomplishing the challenge.

The #fitness requirements are:
- 55 push ups in 2min
- 65 sit ups in 2min
- 5 mile run in 40min
- 12 mile ruck in 3.5h
The #ruck weight is at least 45 lbs for men and 30 lbs for women.

The hardship of the #fitness requirements is that one does not have any access to gadgets to track the time. One gets the start and end announcements, either one accomplished it or not.
Thus a big part of training should be to train without any digital/mechanical distractions. No music, no podcasts or audio books, no knowledge of much more distance to go, no knowledge of how much time has elapsed; one is stripped of all (modern) technical achievements.
If you can tell time elapsed dependent of the cast a shadow, that is permitted. Or if you count every single step to know how far you are along is also permitted.
