My wife and I are starting to train for a 1/2 marathon (her 5th my 1st) and will be putting time in at both the gym and the local asphalt. As far as survival fitness, being fit in the first place is a leg up in the survival situation, can you run for an hour to distance yourself from an enemy? Can you lift your body weight (or your partners) and carry it cross country for an extended trip? I'm so not there myself, but these are my goals. I'd like to know that if I had to, I can put my wife over my shoulder and carry her 2 miles but to do that she'll need to loose some weight and I'll need to get stronger. And if the roles were ever reveresed, I'd like to know she could drag my carcass to someplace safe and to do that I'll need to lose the 'extra' bits I started putting on long before the holiday's came around. time for some SHTF "fitness" thoughts...
