Comments:
A gym based stamina session is something that can break your soul the first few times you do one.  I remember the first time I did The Ultimate Driving Machine with Tod and the owners of Westlake Crossfit.  It was a long, dark, gruesome session.  Now we can actually race through it.  Myself and the other Military Athlete coaches are finishing a gym based stamina cycle and it is no bullshit.  Monday we went full tilt for 90 minutes without stopping.  The humid 90 degree day did nothing to help our situation but that's the climate we live and fight in so we may as well train in it.

Use these sessions to learn just how far your body can go.  We are training the ability to recover here.  Not recover as in the typical gonna do a light run and flush my muscles run but train your body's ability to "take an ass kicking and still perform the next day" type of recovery. Think of it as callousing the mind and body.

There is no rest here guys - soon as you get in from the run go right to the bar / sandbag.  Don't milk the transitions.  Take the opportunity here to demonstrate your professionalism and mental fitness by moving swiftly and staying disciplined.
