LISTEN UP, AND PREPARE TO:
“Did I stutter?”
Ok, at this point, you’re probably imagining some over-zealous drill sergeant shouting at you like R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket.
“Let’s see your war face!”
Enough of that.
But yes, your eyes didn’t deceive you - we really did say the words ‘best shape of your life’ and ‘running less’ in the same sentence.
Like it or not, running is one of the best forms of cardio exercise you can do.
If you like it already, that’s probably because you know that it keeps your mind sharp, reduces stress, and is even shown to reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer.
And if you DON’T like running…?
And we don’t mean running backward or on the wrong side of the sidewalk.
“But… isn’t running one of the most basic forms of exercise out there?”
It sure is.
So why is it that so many Americans are doing it WRONG?
And we’re not just talking about your average Joes. Plenty of kale-munching, lycra-wearing, treadmill-loving runners are screwing up too.
Yup, we’re willing to bet that if you don’t like running, that’s because right now, you’re dealing with all the frustrations that most people associate with running.
And by frustrations, we mean shit.
And perhaps all of that would be worth it if you were seeing the results you really wanted from running 5-7 days a week.
But since you’re here, we’re gonna guess that ain’t happening…
Did you groan at that headline?
Good.
But what should make you groan more is knowing that you’ve been ‘running’ the numbers all wrong.
Groan at the joke first. Now groan at this:
It takes about 3,500 calories to burn a pound of fat, so most people have it in their heads that they have to run around 40 miles a week just to START shifting weight.
That works out as running around 6 miles every single day.
And even if you have managed to lose some weight, you’re probably finding that you’re losing your gains in the process.
Jeez…
When you’re running that much and not going anywhere fast:
It’s no wonder that so many people are injuring themselves and are struggling to drum up the motivation to carry on lacing up their running shoes every day.
Like what the hell, right?
“But isn’t the only way to improve my performance and lower my times for selection by running more often? Practice makes perfect, right?”
No. It doesn’t.
And here’s how we know:
We’re the #1 name in the Tactical Fitness industry - with good reason.
Combat Fitness isn’t just some lame name for a group of jacked-up dudes who’ve never had actual military service.
We understand and have mastered the fitness needs of the military, law enforcement, and first responders because that’s our background.
It’s who we are.
We’re a team of active-duty guys, SOF members, coaches, CPTs, and civilians who understand the importance of elite fitness in the military.
We know that when you’re in the suck, your body needs to perform. Period.
And four years ago, we decided that there had to be a better way, a different way, to train for active service and reach optimal fitness and physique.
Because, let’s face it, 35 miles a week sucks.
Especially when also trying to strength train, spend time at the range, and still have time to get kicked out of the local bar just off base.
It sucks harder than doing casualty drags in a gas mask (if you know, you know).
So we set out on a journey to devise a system where people can get EFFECTIVE running results as EFFICIENTLY as possible.
In other words - improving MORE while training LESS.
Using strategies developed by Nick Leman, who’s trained Olympic athletes, pro footballers, and hundreds of tactical athletes for selection phases like SFAS, MARSOC, the British Royal Marines, and more…
We’ve cracked the code.
The US Military looks for warriors - and that’s exactly what we help you become.
A system proven to create well-rounded, high-performance tactical athletes who can go anywhere and do anything.
World-class training - for those who need it most.
Because running shouldn’t have to be as unappealing as putting a toothpick under your toenail and slamming it into the wall.
Yeah - your toes definitely just curled right then.
But let’s not pretend that your toes aren’t curling every morning at the thought of running when your knees are still screaming, and those blisters still haven’t healed…
Screw traditional running programs.
The LVHE Training Method is THE most efficient training structure we know of.
And that’s not just us blowing our own bugle. This system has been used by THOUSANDS of individuals, including those training for:
But don’t be put off by those pretty intimidating stats - this program is beginner friendly but highly effective at every level.
Here’s why:
It’s not just a clever name for recycled content you’ve seen before - we mean exactly what we say: Run less. Improve more.
How?
Our secret ‘mixed interval’ system helps you increase your speed and stamina while decreasing the time you spend running.
The most emphasis is placed on rest & recovery, with NO MORE than 3 runs per week.
Long, slow, EASY days in ZONE 2 (the lowest zone used for training purposes) to build your aerobic engine.
Longer intervals of running, 8-15 minutes of around 75% effort to increase your aerobic threshold (AT).
Short intervals of running to increase your top-end speed and increase lactic thresholds and your anaerobic efforts.
In the words of Jesse Pinkman: “YEAH! Science, bitch!”
We don’t believe in throwing fluffy words at you and hoping you fall for them.
Here’s what you need to know in SIMPLE terms:
1) More time to rest and recover promotes faster and more robust development
2) Less running per week gives you more options for other forms of training, such as lifting, Crossfit, shooting - or whatever you like
3) The LHVE Framework applies to every single level of fitness. You don’t have to be in peak fitness already to take advantage
4) Less frequent workouts that still vary in style make for a more exciting and enjoyable program to follow (that’s easier to follow too!)
5) Shorter workout days require less motivation to put on your running gear and get out the front door
You could download the next app doing the rounds that comes with quirky graphics or Morgan Freeman’s voice in your ear as you run.
Or you could cut out the BS distractions and get a program that’s been PROVEN to work, not just a handful of times…
…but THOUSANDS:
(Trust us, you don’t want to count these numbers on your fingers.)
Half measures? Never heard of them. When someone comes to us looking for results, we help them reach them, supplying them with whatever resources they need most.
The world’s toughest Special Forces selections? Our students CRUSH them - including Navy SEALs BUD/s, SFAS, SWCC, RASP/Ranger School, MARSOC, and more.
“With my experience, I can say that the training is based on the USMC (United States Marine Corps). I rate this as one of the best.”
- Tomas Skohoutil
“I’ve been struggling with running for a while. Hopped on this plan 2 months ago and dropped my 10km time by ELEVEN MINUTES. This shit works. Nick is the real deal. 5 stars all day.”
- Jacob P
“This program is excellent! It’s challenging yet doable. Gives specific effort and heart rate goals while building aerobic capacity. I actually look forward to running.”
- Kyle
No guesswork. No randomness. No doubt.
The Low Volume, High-Efficiency program is completely pre-structured with specific mixtures of interval training, so you always know where you’re at and how you're progressing.
Training for TANGIBLE results.
We don’t just tell you how to run. We explain WHY. Use RPE, split pacing, or heart rate to measure your results while lowering your risk of injury using the right techniques.
Because structure is EVERYTHING.
Each week of training builds on the last and creates progressive overload, which means you’re always getting faster and stronger.
Is that headline not clear enough for you?
Fine.
We stand by our training programs not just because we believe they’re the best quality of fitness programming out there…
…but because they work - and have been proven to work time and time again.
However, if you prove to be an exception to the rule and don’t get the results you were expecting after 4 weeks of training:
We’ll give you a refund. No questions asked.
And what’s more, we’ll continue to work with you for FREE.
That’s because we believe in what we do, and do whatever it takes to promote a community built on 3 principles:
Fitness, Excellence, and Winning.
Put less in. Get more out.
We’re ready when you are.
