RUNNING ISN’T JUST FITNESS. IT’S SURVIVAL.

A major systematic review showed that regular runners cut their risk of early death by 23%.
Not elite runners. Not marathoners. Just consistent movers.

1–2 runs per week is enough to improve:
• Heart health
• Mental health
• VO₂ max
• Blood pressure
• Longevity

Running impacts every system that keeps you alive.
Coaches: this is why it stays in the program.

LOCKED IN | WALL TO WALL

Wall balls at the start. In the middle. And again at the end.

This one breaks your rhythm and your lungs.

Each machine hits a different energy demand. You’re managing fatigue while trying to stay composed.

Break the wall ball sets? You pay.

Keep your grip. Keep your head. Stay locked in.

2 Rounds is tough | 4 Rounds break you.

Women don’t have a performance problem. They have a testosterone gap.

Men produce 10 to 20x more testosterone than women
That’s the single biggest reason they:
• Build muscle faster
• Recover quicker
• Handle more volume

It’s not effort
It’s biology

But women still adapt
They still get stronger
They still build engine and grit
They just need programming that reflects their physiology — not a recycled men’s template

Understand the difference
Then train smarter

GROUP TRAINING TOOLS

THE RAM

We don’t bring kit into Battle Group Training unless it earns its place.
The RAM isn’t gimmicky, it’s rugged, versatile, and delivers results.

✅ Strength — carries, presses, thrusters
✅ Conditioning — burpees, lunges, squats
✅ Durable — built for outdoors, built for abuse
✅ Scalable — beginners to advanced, same tool

One piece of kit. Endless options. That’s why the RAM stays.

BUILT | SLED STRONG

Sled strength isn’t built in warm-up sets.

This session hits everything that makes the sled move faster and feel lighter.
Legs. Core. Grip. Posterior chain.
All under real fatigue.

You don’t train strength for looks.
You train it to survive the stations.

Quick fixes don’t build capable bodies
They build stress. Burnout. Inconsistency.
And then you’re right back where you started.

Here’s the truth:
Most people train with short-term thinking
But real adaptation takes weeks, months, years

Why?

📌 General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) — Selye (1950s)
Training is a stress.
Your body breaks down first, then adapts after recovery

📌 Supercompensation Theory — Zatsiorsky & Kraemer (2006)
Fitness improves only when recovery allows your body to adapt and rebound
Push too hard, too fast — and you stall

📌 Periodisation research — Bompa & Haff (2009)
Long-term progression depends on cycles of load, recovery, and consistency
Not random spikes of intensity and crash diets

So if your plan only works for 4 weeks
It never worked to begin with

Build slow. Build well. Build for life.

SWINGERS
Why we use kettlebells.

They’re simple. A lump of iron with a handle. But the way they move makes them one of the most versatile tools in training.

✅ Power & Hip Drive
Kettlebell swings teach you how to generate explosive hip power — the same movement pattern you need for sprinting, lifting, jumping.

✅ Grip & Core Strength
Unlike a barbell, the offset load forces your grip and core to work overtime. That’s real-world strength you’ll feel in carries, pulls, and daily life.

✅ Conditioning
You don’t need hours of cardio. High-rep kettlebell work builds serious engine capacity while still building strength.

✅ Joint-Friendly
The fluid motion means less impact, more efficiency, and transferable strength that supports your other lifts and runs.

Kettlebells aren’t fancy. They’re effective. That’s why we use them.

This weekend, some of the team hit the Derby Arena Velodrome for DEKA.

The backdrop was epic. The atmosphere electric.

Our teams brought home 5 podiums:
🏆 3 x 1st Place
🥉 2 x 3rd Place

But podiums only tell part of the story.

The real win wasn’t the medals.
It was the people who signed up, stepped up, and walked into that arena knowing they’d be tested.

It was those who battled the nerves, embraced the grind, and proved something to themselves.

Because turning up is a victory in itself.

Putting yourself out there takes courage. And every single person who stood on that start line earned respect. Remember, there are so many who don’t have that courage yet — but they might look at you and think:
“I look like that.”
“They’re my age.”
And maybe you’re the kick up the arse they need to say:
“I can do it.”

That’s Battle Group Training.

Not just chasing medals, but building resilience, strength, and the mindset to step forward when others sit back. Inspiring and supporting those we train alongside every day.

Proud of every one of you. This is who we are.
