As a result, nutrition and recovery will be essential during this cycle. The programming relies heavily on supersets and clustersets so it is a LOT of volume.

CronusFit 175
This 10 Week, 6 days a week program consists of 20-30 Miles of Running every week, building towards longer sustained aerobic capacity and improvement in the 8-10km race distances. Your race pace is your 10km pace. For those new to middle distance running, this program will introduce recovery runs following interval sets, which will be increasingly
difficult. Individually, completing a 400-1200m interval at a 10k race pace doesn’t seem difficult, but adding recovery intervals only paced :20 slower will stress your breath control. Lifting will continue to focus on basic movements, maintaining lean muscle development with the overall goal of performing in military training, school(s), or deployment(s).
Weights are based off 1RM. Rest between each set is :60 and 2:00 between parts.
Add weight for no regrets.
CronusFit COVID
This is a 10 week, 6 day a week program designed for low/no equipment workouts during COVID. This program is written to place enough metabolic stress on your muscles to retain the majority of your size/strength. Overall, the program is conditioning focused with some hypertrophy work via high reps.
Recommended equipment: KB’s (35/53/70), pair of DB’s (50 for guys, 35 for girls), pull-up bar, sandbag (100 for guys, 75 for girls), weight vest (20/14), and some bands. Also, a piece of cardio equipment (rower, skierg, assault bike, etc) if you’re able to get one. If you don’t have access to cardio equipment, you can substitute all of the cardio with running (250m erg = 200m run, 500m erg = 400m run, 1k erg = 800m run, 2k erg = 1 mile run).
