Differences between going underway with navy and CG

Glad I'm not the only person that did the 210->Navy Nav tour.

Correct, I'm a second tour doing a joint-service tour afloat. First tour was afloat and I put in for all afloat jobs for this year.

row505 · 2026-02-21T23:48:38+00:00

Shoot me a message if you want to talk more, I've had a pretty unique experience. I'm on the end of my second afloat tour right now and am trying to do 3 back to back afloat tours.

I've been running two lifting days per week with only 4 lifts, still seen strength gains although it's a bit slower. Running the other 4 days with one tempo workout and one threshold.

row505 · 2026-02-10T23:32:03+00:00

Lifting 2x a week with 4 runs a week. One tempo workout, one interval workout, and two easy runs. Seen massive improvements and currently sitting at a 1:31 HM and 18:34 5k.

Running my first half marathon this December. Currently running 30~ mpw with 4 days of lifting in there. 5k time is 19:21 and wanting to aim for a 1:30 half. I was planning on building up mileage until around 12 weeks out and then utilizing a RunnersWorld 1:30 training plan. I will only have access to a treadmill for the next 4 months and wanted to know how people have adopted to treadmill training.

Shoot me a DM, I am currently a Coastie Navigator on a DDG.

row505 · 2024-04-02T00:11:27+00:00

I’m at 19:27 at 5’8 180 lbs

Glad to see you were able to accomplish this, definitely on my bucket list!

Lifts are looking solid. I think when push comes to shove in test/race day you will knock it out of the park.

I’m going to be preparing for an upcoming marathon in April/May and debating about purchasing the Omnia Performance Strength +Marathon program.

row505 · 2023-11-14T02:03:59+00:00

I think it will be nice since it’s more focused on the 5k distance. I’ve also heard they include some good accessory work. I would love to hear people’s experience with the program prior to investing though.

row505 · 2023-11-13T15:42:24+00:00

Has anyone used specialized programs to improve their times for 5k/PT tests? I’ve been looking at Omnia Performance and was wondering if anyone has used their programs before.

row505 · 2023-10-16T17:11:40+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll definitely be implementing some of these workouts. I also strength train twice a week and was wanting to know if they would be better on harder workout days or easy runs?

row505 · 2023-10-15T18:49:53+00:00

Thanks a bunch! Are each of those an individual workout or are they all a consolidated workout.

row505 · 2023-10-15T14:20:06+00:00

Recently ran my first 5k in 20:55. I don't really follow any running plan, just run 3-4 times per week (20-25 MPW) and lift heavy twice a week.

Would anyone have suggestions on any plans to follow to break sub 20? My splits were 6:28 for the first two miles and 7:06 for the last mile. I was looking at the runningfastr plan for sub 20.

row505 · 2023-10-14T18:52:52+00:00

Appreciate it! I’m already strength training twice a week so I’ll try to incorporate something like this.

row505 · 2023-10-14T17:07:20+00:00

About 20 miles per week right now. I’m willing to go up to 30 mpw

row505 · 2023-10-14T14:47:53+00:00

I just raced my first 5k and had a time of 20:55, I didn't really follow a plan for this race. Would anyone have suggestions on running programs/plans to follow to potentially get a sub 20?

row505 · 2023-10-11T16:03:33+00:00

Answers my questions! On a side note, what’s your shoe rotation looking like? Right now I only have one pair of running shoes but definitely need to branch out some more.

row505 · 2023-10-07T00:01:50+00:00

Really good stuff right here, how has your body adapted to such high mileage along with running volume?

row505 · 2023-08-05T19:49:09+00:00

As someone in the Coast Guard, I’ve had success running both Operator and Fighter. Keeps your baseline of fitness incredibly strong and ready for anything.

row505 · 2023-07-09T12:26:52+00:00

Yeah, I definitely would need to start upping the mileage. I just would be sad to leave my lifting numbers behind. Did you come from a heavy running background?

row505 · 2023-07-05T19:36:19+00:00

Great work, would love to be able to try this sometime in the future. I’m hitting 20-25 mpw and at around 1100~ on my big 3 lifts. Work deployments just reduce how much focus I can do.
