In terms of developing workout programs for runners going out to sea for several months, does anyone have any experiences with programs, or know of any resources which might be valuable in terms of providing aerobic & strength training workouts for athletes?
Surely there must be something that's come along the line somehwere for people who are living in confined spaces?
gracias.
I can't answer your question, but If I were you, I'd try to find out what the Navy guys do for PT while at sea. If you can find such a program, maybe just modify it by increasing whatever they are doing for aerobic work and backing off of any strength type stuff.
I was on a carrier and even then it wasn't easy. You have to dodge tie down chains in the hangar bay and pretty much just run back and forth. We did have some stair machines. Burpees work pretty good. I've read that guys in jail cells do those.
I'd write a letter to your local prison. There are some pretty jacked up guys in there. I'm sure they would share some trade secrets with you in exchange for a carton of smokes or a conjugal with your daughter.
Let me know how it goes, I love hearing about prison culture.
Phil Camp, a sub-2:20 marathoner back in the '70s and '80s, was a U.S. Navy flight instructor who allegedly trained on the deck of an aircraft carrier for long stretches. These days, I would think that treadmills would be fairly common on subs and ships, but I'm just guessing about that.
As an aside, I think that many who spend long stretches at sea discover that the need to maintain the body's equilibrium while standing on a surface that's always rocking back and forth requires the muscle fibers in the lower body to be constantly firing, which can be surprisingly fatiguing over time.
when fishing in the gulf of mexico, i saw a guy running for ~30 min on a helicopter landing pad on an oil rig.
that would have driven me crazy.
Running in circles and running in place. And rowing machine.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
