SAS instructors goals are to enable candidates to obtain peak physical fitness. Essentially they want them combat-ready and to be able to run, jump and lift more effectively and efficiently. These will also be our goals also, peak functional fitness. To achieve these aims we shall be looking at developing speed, agility, muscular endurance and explosive power.
For the average person in the street time restraints and commitments, there is no way we could get the level of training in. Indeed, SAS candidates are a breed apart physically and mentally. The average person would undoubtedly break undertaking the type of physical training they are required to do!! However, that does not mean we should not look to them for inspiration and push ourselves. Therefore the purpose of our SAS Who Dares Wins Trials is in creating a ‘Selection-lite’ course, to push you hard but within reason.
