This week in Horizon Strength, you'll double down on lower-leg durability. Split squats build your unilateral strength while tibialis and calf work reinforces better economy in your stride. Together, they prepare your legs for the repetitive thousands of steps you’ll take on event day. Shoulder endurance stays in play with Arnold Presses.

Mindset Note: Focus on being mindful of your stride during training rucks by keeping quiet footfalls, tall posture and steady cadence, forming the good habits required for long distance. Hydration tip: increase baseline water intake by 0.5-1 liter daily.

NOTES

• You will need: Ruck, Sandbag, and Kettlebell or Dumbbells
• If needed, rest 1-2 minutes between rounds.
• Always do your warm-up to help prevent injuries.
• Some video demonstrations may depict exercise tools other than what we suggest - the same cues and form will still apply unless otherwise noted.

WARM UP

WORKOUT x 3 ROUNDS

Notes:

• * In the Seated Calf Raise with DBs, the lower movement should take 3-4 seconds. Go slow, you want that extra strength!
• The Split Squats + Calf/Tibialis raise sequence = lower leg durability for endless miles.
