ACFT Event Six: Two Mile Run | The Green Beret Guide to the ACFT | SOFLETE 

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

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

When he asked for a cigarette after the run four soldiers popped in my head 😂😂

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

1 Brigade Commander disliked this video.

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?

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

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

Cigarettes are for winners ...love it .

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!

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.

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.

Solid content as always gentlemen.

Shooot, you right about that. I maxed out everything BUT the 2 mile run lol

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

"smokes are for winners. Fuck you". Hahaha love it

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.

Wow.... My old ass still remembers when the run's max score was less than 12 minutes

Let me just say. I'm an Officer and I HATE running lol Great video!

Are going to go over the alternative events. Row and bike?

You had me at "officers" but not all of them. I knew from our country who rose from the rank through their merit.

Thanks guys I really needed this video. 👍

Used to run the 2 mile's at about 11.20. New Zealand Infantry in the early 1980's.

Only reason I've been doing 10k's is for the potential of RASP

Why does that look like chicken road on Bragg?

A link in the description would help

what are the events before the 2 mile run that makes it so hard?

I’m aiming for 13

The hard truth 😂😂

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

Can you post a link to the running plan?

Cigarettes are for closers !

moderate - is the term

So ... we train like green berets now? LOL

2 miles in 18min lol that's easy British army test is 2 mile W/ boots carrying 18kg with weapon in 18mins.

Alaskans smoke after they run :)

I assume you mean regular commissioned officers, and not Warrant Officers who came up the through the ranks. Shout out to the 180A's.

Cold out there christian?

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

Why does he keep holding a cup on his hand most of his video?

Cigarettes are for winners... well played

I bet his cup is empty and he's using it as a prop

How bout that Marine Corps PFT 3 miler ? Lol.

So long story short it’s gonna suck

Cft + army =acft

" 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.
