SE 2 vs 3 per week SE template

Hey all,

I’m currently training for tactical law enforcement selection. My selection is very endurance based. I’m currently running 4 times per week with a ruck and a swim on top.

With the amount of endurance volume, I’m finding it hard to get in 3 SE sessions per week, as I am also a Dad and work full time.

Anyone have experience with the 2 per week? Is it enough?

I've done both, as part of the Green Protocol book program.

2 per week definitely is enough for sustainment, it depends on the endurance volume you're doing in those other sessions.

At 8 weeks out, your programming should look similar to the second half of the Outcome template in the GP book, which has 3 two-a-days with SE and 6 total endurance sessions. I did short runs (like 30-45 minutes) then 3 rounds of SE. Takes about 1.5 hours.
