8-WEEK BUD/S TRAINING PROGRAM, DECEMBER 2014

BUD/S

8-week Training Program

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This program is intended to be done the 8 weeks prior to entering BUD/S. Alternatively, it can be completed after

you’ve received your SEAL Challenge Contract or OCS Billet.

You will take fitness assessments during Weeks 1, 4, and 7. You will train 6 times a week during Weeks 2, 3, 5, and

6. Week 8, the final week, is a taper week. Your sessions will be shorter, and you’ll only train 4 days during the

week.

This is a very intense training program. It includes assessments designed to be performed at your physical limit,

demanding pool and open water training, loaded rucks, high intensity runs, gym-based work, and training sessions

that go from 4 to 10 hours. You will run 13 miles during assessment weeks and swim 3.5 miles. During the other

weeks, you will run from 26-42 miles and swim over 5 miles.

The end of Weeks 2, 3, 5, and 6 contain physically and mentally demanding “mini-events” that range in duration

from 4 to 10 hours. You must prepare your equipment and nutrition ahead of time to complete these events. Never

train beyond the prescribed duration of the event, even if you haven’t completed all of the evolutions.
