Summary
Send us Fan MailHow should you actually train for Air Force Special Warfare before you ship? On this Veterans Day live episode, Aaron, Trent, and Peaches go straight at one of the biggest preparation mistakes they continue to see: candidates are not running enough. Trent explains why aerobic fitness has repeatedly correlated with better pipeline outcomes and why being roughly a minute faster than the minimum running standard has historically been such a useful readiness indicator. Building that engine takes time, which means you cannot wait until the last few weeks before shipping and expect strength training, motivation, or a few hard intervals to make up the difference.The guys break down why candidates often prioritize strength too early, how Zone 2 work builds the aerobic foundation required for long training days, why your easy days actually need to stay easy, and how increasing mileage too aggressively creates injuries instead of fitness. The same principle carries into the pool: if you want to become a better swimmer, swim more. Before worrying about buddy breathing, mask recovery, or advanced water-confidence events, learn to surface swim efficiently enough that being in the water no longer feels like a fight for survival.The live Q&A keeps going from there. Aaron talks about eliminating destructive negative self-talk, Trent and Peaches explain how strength supports rucking without replacing cardiovascular fitness, and the guys cover sinking versus floating, water confidence, eating enough carbohydrates during high-volume training, caffeine before BMT, shin pain, CCT versus SR contracts, SERE assignments, training programs, and realistic weekly running volume. Aaron also signs off with his Veterans Day response to “thank you for your service”: you were worth it.LINKSonesready.comoperatortrainingsummit.comCHAPTERS00:00 - Ones Ready01:18 - Veterans Day Live Begins03:00 - Training Questions Are Open03:44 - Veterans Day With the Ones Ready Crew10:55 - You’re Not Running Enough11:41 - Why Fast Runners Succeed in the Pipeline13:04 - Building Your Aerobic Engine Takes Time15:15 - Don’t Increase Running Volume Too Fast17:26 - Zone 2 vs Training for Strava20:36 - Small Candidates Better Be Fast21:14 - Negative Self-Talk and Mental Performance24:40 - Why Candidates Overemphasize Strength27:19 - How to Actually Get Better at Swimming29:11 - “You Were Worth It” — Veterans Day30:22 - Can Strength Make Up for Bad Cardio?33:36 - What If You Sink Instead of Float?36:27 - Backpacking, Hunting and Ruck Fitness37:56 - Eat Enough Carbs During Hard Training41:36 - Water Confidence Starts With Surface Swimming45:56 - Combat Control and Air Traffic Control51:24 - Should You Quit Caffeine Before BMT?52:24 - Shin Pain and Building Running Durability54:06 - CCT vs SR: Which Contract Should You Choose?56:47 - SERE Assignments and Family Life57:53 - Training Programs and Weekly Running Mileage01:00:26 - Rapid-Fire AFSW Questions01:01:24 - OTS Vegas and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit: OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel...
