Week 26 of BUD/S Prep
The final week: a 9.25-mile long run, a 3500-yard long swim, two by 20-minute continuous sessions, and ten-rep intervals. Finish the week, rest two or three days, then take the PST you will report.

The peak block
Weeks 22 to 26 finish the program with the longest sessions in the guide: a 9.25-mile run and a 3500-yard swim in the final week, and continuous high-intensity blocks of two by twenty minutes. Core work reaches its final tier. The last week is a good time to schedule the PST you will actually report, with two or three easy days before it.
