Long distance the mental mindset

When training for long distance running or any type of long distance endurance it is crucial to mentally prepare for it and train yourself not only physically but mentally. Running long distance takes mental endurance not just physical endurance.
Hip, ankle and back range of motion | Mike Edwards
zhlédnutí 169Před 4 měsíci
This simple set of stretches will help you increase your hip ankle and back range of movement. I recommend doing this once a day after you have already warmed up with a walk or run. This really helps with the flexibility and balance when walking in the woods, hunting, or just living life. As we get older the joints start to stiffen up and so do the muscles therefore it is imperative that we war...

What a bad ass👊👊
Nice intro soundtrack!
Mike...you look like Jesus buddy. Miss you man. Hopefully we can get together again sometime!
Hey Mike great video! With all the experience you’ve had with rucking it would be super beneficial if you had a rucking video where you can talk about preferred rucksacks, boots, techniques, and how to train for rucks, just an idea thanks for the kickass videos!
Thanks for the ideas, ill try to make something like that in the future
I got to find somewhere near me in Tennessee with honey comb my son has asking non stop, that’s a nice setup since I retired from the military I got the pets, chickens, and the garden but haven’t tried bees yet.
yeah bees are hard work and thankfully we have our friends who help us a lot and teach us everything.
@@RRCMikeEdwards yeah we’ve contemplated bees but I’d for sure have to call in a buddy I’m originally from Alabama and grew up gardening and stuff but have never messed with bees.
Mike is the realest of the real deal. He deserves for this channel to blow up. If you see this, please like, subscribe, and support this dude. Algorithm, baby, algorithm.
Thanks brother!
Thank you for sharing these invaluable insights. Have you had many encounters or much experience working with the CIF/CRF teams? I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on them.
I only worked with those guys as a free fall instructor out at Yuma. Most of the guys were solid and trained to a higher level than the regular ODA teams. There are actually a lot of former Rangers in the CIF/CRF from what ive see since it's real heavy on the CQB part of the job.
@@RRCMikeEdwards I really do appreciate your replies man. I understand things in the military change often but your insights and experiences are invaluable. Taking the time to help us understand the environment and complexities is something I am thankful for.
Thank you for the video, Mike. I have a question that you might not have encountered yet. Have you ever experienced poor leadership, either militarily or politically, that put lives at risk? If so, how did you navigate and manage that risk and obstacle?
Yeah brother I have encountered that on rare occasions. It was usually Ranger Officers or senior JSOC Officers who wanted "numbers" over quality missions. Guys would get pissed because they were risking their lives driving down IED laden roads for nothing over and over again. We are happy to go out and fight anyone anytime but let's be smart about it and not just go out to go out!
Dude at 47 years old listening to how bad they would smoke you makes my body hurt. 😂😂😂
Hahaha. I know. I would not be able to do it at this age, you are my age! I promise my body still hurts from that hazing!
I absolutely loved Mike's previous interviews. Got lucky with the algorithms showing me a short or i would have had no clue. Oddly, i dont really watch shorts but they promoted that way anyway
Shawn Ryan should have you on his show for sure.
For real. Let's make some noise and make that happen.
Hot Mike! You are legendary my friend. I was at that Jump package with you when that lone jumper broke his leg in between the power lines, scary jump indeed. Just wanted to say you are one of those leaders I met in my career that made me rethink how a leader in an elite organization should carry themselves. You can still be that rough and tough guy that expects discipline and perfection while also being a humble and genuine human who acts with kindness. I’ve also never wanted to be an RRC operator more in my life than after spending a few weeks with a couple of you guys haha. Keep rolling brother, God is good.
Hey brother thanks so much for the kind words!! You just made my day. I really enjoyed training you guys more than anyone!! You MARSOC guys were very smart, fit, humble, and willing to learn! The best environment to be an instructor in.
This is one of my favorite channels. I’ve been seeking military knowledge my whole life. Read hundreds of books on weapons, military history, etc. watched countless thousands of videos. I was an 11b but admittedly I was too rebellious in nature for garrison BS. However, I am still very enthusiastic about the infantry. I feel like Mike has the most knowledge out there that has yet to be passed on and I’m here for it. God bless you Mike!
Thanks brother!! Ill try to keep the videos coming!
Keep up the good work brother!! "Strike Hold"
Can you talk about foreign units that you've worked/trained with during your time in RRC? Like the Aussies or other tier 1 recon units
I would not have much to say. Ive only worked with Aussie SAS and British SAS, and JTF2 from Canada but each time I worked with these guys were just one off missions so I never got a feel for how well these guys worked certain mission sets. I probably worked with the British SAS the most and they were good guys but lightyears behind us in the US military as far as funding, Funding really effects a units performance because it is needed to do realistic training, the more funding the more realistic the training can be, then you also need funding for equipment, technology that can be used to make you more lethal if you have the funding it makes your unit more capable. When I worked with the SAS they were still doing missions with white lights and no night vision, very few of the operators had night vision. Im sure that has changed but thats the way it was back in the early 2000's
Hey Mike, do you mind explaining the differences between RRC and ISA/TFO
thanks for telling us your story, man. have a blessed day.
Hey man! Cool stuff… love the content! Keep them coming! I look forward to seeing this channel blow up
Thanks brother!
Hey Mike, if you could, to the extent that you can, talk about working with OSTs while being in RRC.
To be honest I never worked with OST that much so I could not talk about it with any context.
Mikes John Wick
Mike Makes it sound like all Rangers are like him. He is super humble. Mike is a Superman.
Thanks for the kind words brother!
Great breakdown. Have you worked with any Navy SARCs (SOIDCs)? How do you think they stack up?
I have I worked with the Navy SARC when I was training MARSOC in MFF. All of the SARC's I have worked with seemed to be pretty solid medics. The only issue I ever saw was that some of them really lacked tactical training and experience until they get assigned to MARSOC. At least it appeared that way from my perspective as a contractor.
Great video, thanks for the insight. Looks like you took a foot sandwich in that last intro jump. 2:35
I almost did but we missed each other by at least a foot. those guys were probably going 160-180MPH head down and I was trying to close on them, then had to throw on the air brake to flare out and stop on level with them.
Top notch reflexes to pull that move. Also, I dig your Bible posts. I am on my own journey here as well. I am reading Jeremiah for the first time today. So far it seems…timely.
Hey Mike, I just wanted to say hi. This is SFC. Kletz (Ret) I spent a lot of my time at 2/75 and some at Benning and Ft. Walton Beach. You and I have crossed paths several times. I am glad to see that you are doing well and I am subscribing to your channel. You have always been a stud. RLTW.
Thanks brother! Thanks for the support. you still down in the pan handle?
@@RRCMikeEdwardsNo, we moved. I'm living in Nebraska now. I live about an hour east of Cheyenne, WY. Off I-80. What about you?
Man I got out of the army in 2015 and bought eleven acres in Virginia and been farming cows, goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, dogs and cats ever since. We get out butts handed to us every year. Never seems like we’re caught up. I guess that’s the point. Stay motivated! Stay fed!
Man I know what you mean, I feel like im always behind, trying to keep up with everything!
It’s that beautiful GOD gifted hair no doubt
Trying to figure out how to connect with my teenage daughter has been the most difficult thing in my life. Just refusing to go do stuff with her cuz she hates everything, isn’t the right answer I know….guess just going hiking is simple and works. Keep it up brother
yeah man we love hiking as a family. its peaceful and you can bond as well.
That’s awesome! Congratulations on the honey harvest!
Is it raw honey? Also man what concealed gun do your recommend? God bless brotha
Yeah it's Raw honey. I personally carry a G19 most of the time and sometimes a G43
@@RRCMikeEdwards thanks Mike, waiting for that RRC style fitness training from you brotha, I dont got hay to sling around haha
120 pounds of honey! I can't imagine, except for making mead.
Former Jr. Line officer: always good to hear these breakdowns to hear about what I missed. All this info out there these days is crazy. I was told that a Ranger O PL is more of a co ordinnator and deconflictor of the battle space around the PLT. PL squad leader relationship is more linear in a conventional unit. I would guess that SOF PLs in Ranger and 03s running teams are not really needed outside of the admin. HOWEVER, when they become field grades it becomes important for them to have small unit level exposure on or near the X. Thats the real reason for O2/3 in SOF units in my opinion is for the experience to make good decisions at field grade and above.
interesting, and it does give them experience in combat working with a unit that could do the mission without them. They then learn to be a productive member of the team and go on to be successful elsewhere for sure.
I use this everyday on the factory line
bittersweet... my condolences for the loss of your friend.
Yeah he was a great dude. It was good to remember our jumps together when seeing this video in my archives.
ATW brother!! Were you guys even jumping static line while assigned to MFF school? "Strike Hold and Death from above"
no brother I was not jumping static line while assigned there.
@@RRCMikeEdwardsI wouldn't either!! Do you remember the old T10 reserve that you had to throw in the opposite direction if you had a complete malfunction? Times have definitely changed.
the ranger bias is too strong with this one
Sorry about that, it's hard to eliminate all of it I guess. I will try better in the future.
❤❤❤❤❤
Throwing bails of hay will surely keep you in shape! If your thinking about getting cattle, have you heard of the natural grazing? Letting the cows rath the grass in a few acres, them move them to a different plot?
We will be getting some cows in the fall. Yeah thats the plan brother.
Mike, this is probably the most unbiased and objective breakdown that I've seen of all the SOF units. Bravo brother!!!
Truly peaceful and idyllic, even if it's a LOT of work. Thanks for providing something wholesome and beautiful and honest, for my eyes and heart and soul... I need stuff like this to help wash out all the corrosive garbage that otherwise occupies much of the social media space I encounter throughout a typical day. For those of us who live in urban environments, this is a helpful reminder of how much work, thought, preparation and planning go into the productive care of a large piece of land. This truly is *stewardship*... Its a process of listening to and inspecting the land, and seeing to its needs so as to be able to produce meaningful quantities of product from that piece of land. It really is labor intensive, and you can see why it often takes a whole family (if not more!) to get all of the work done. Thanks for doing this, Edwards family... And best of luck, health and prosperity. Love from Jersey...
Im glad you enjoyed it. It was hard work but well worth it!
Sweet tune 🎵🎶
Beautiful family brother!! "Strike Hold and Death from above"
Thank you sir.
Thank you sir
Now they are AUTOMATICALLY registering people for SELECTIVE SERVICE WHAT does that tell you.......
Thanks dear bro from your inf
Finally your own channel! Cheers from SE Alabama
can you make a video on how you'd train for special forces assessment?
Get in 21:21 Shape to include rucking with 55lbs. Do rope climbs (there is a technique) and practice land nav. Otherwise it’s mental toughness and being a team player.
Ive trained a few guys for SF Selection but honestly you would get better info from a Green Beret. I have never been through SF Selection. I do know a decent amount about how to train for it but for those little tips that only an insider would know you should ask an SF guy. There is an SF dude ive seen a few solid videos from, check him out. his channel is Valhalla VFT. I had some people send me a couple of his videos recently. He seems pretty legit.
Hey Mike, Thank you for the video. Have you had much experience working with the Force Recon Marines? If so, could you include that information in one of your videos? Every time SOF unit members speak about Force Recon or MARSOC, they always have good things to say. Since Force Recon and RRC are both reconnaissance units, although on different levels, it makes sense that you guys would work together.
Yes I'll try to do a video about this, I have nothing bad to say about Force Recon or MARSOC, Great dudes! They are a lot like Rangers, exceptionally fit, well trained, yet somewhat humble.
@@RRCMikeEdwards thank you for replying I’ll keep an eye out for your future content
Brasstown Bald
Yes Sir!
I've heard Delta officers get to do high speed stuff till 0-4 (Major), is this true?
You cant go to selection until you’re a promotable Captain. After OTC you’ve normally pinned Major.
@@thomasloveless4800 Do they get any action?
@@AyandaKula I believe so, I was an Officer, I went to selection class 14-02. I did not get selected. That’s about the extent of my first hand experience of the intricacies of CAG.
@@thomasloveless4800 Thanks for the reply brother, I really appreciate it. I don't know you, but I'm sure you were a great leader.
Yeah they can, but thats the only place in the army where an officer can still do cool things even up to the rank of LTC as a Squadron CDR
Hi Mike, this is awesome stuff. I have a question; Do you believe that Yeshua was only talking about the 10 commandments when he referred to the law not being done away with? As you know there is a lot of laws that required levitical priests that do not exist anymore today. I am curious of where you land on this along with kosher laws. The reason I ask is because I am a Christian Jew and still somewhat struggle with this and when I prayed on it and asked the holy spirit to reveal to me what I should do; I feel god led me to the verse (Matthew 22:36-40) where he stated love the lord your god with all you heart soul and mind & love your neighbor as yourself and this fulfills all the laws of the prophets. Jewish people are very very strict when it comes to following the torah but cant fulfill all the laws of the torah. I believe Yeshua wanted us to follow Hashem's rules to the best of our abilities with the "intent" of loving him and that this is the fulfillment of the law; with keeping in mind that Yeshua being the final perfect sacrifice and leaving the holy spirit with us he got rid of the sacrificial system & gave us a new temple for the holy spirit to dwell in; our body. personally It's hard to love someone else when you don't love yourself and to love God above all else is a hard commandment / rule and I am trying my best but fall short quite a bit. I love what you got here this is great and I would love to here what you have to say on this. Also If you need any assistance with you channel or a discord let me know and I would love to help for free. My name is Ken. Beautiful job, god bless you.
Yeah I believe we are to be as obedient as we can, keeping the laws and the commandments is loving your neighbor as yourself, and loving God with all your heart. Yes some laws dont apply to every person, actually most of them dont. I believe we should not eat foods that the bible forbids in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 and elsewhere, all of the counter arguments against these laws dont hold water when compared in context of scripture. The way I look at any bible study, if I have 99% of scripture pertaining to that topic pointing in one direction and 1 single scripture that twisted out of context points the other way im going to rule with the majority of the scriptures. All scriptures must be congruent, so if I were to take that one outlying scripture and try to twist the other 30-40 scriptures that are crystal clear about to topic to match the outlier thats where we get false doctrine, and believe me its everywhere in every church.
@@RRCMikeEdwards Thank you for your follow up I was looking forward to your response! So a couple of follow up questions what about what Yeshua said in Mark 7:18-19 what did Yeshua mean by this? I wrestle with this one because to me it seems he’s saying god cares more about what’s on someone’s heart then what he eats. Also in acts chapter 10 it “seems” like god is not holding gentiles to the kosher laws given to the Jewish people as gentiles were not even allowed into a Jews home back then; but what does that mean for the Jews? And also Paul said that the gentiles are grafted into the Jewish family but from the passage I just stated they are not bound by the same rules? Paul also goes more in depth in how we should not judge people on their dieting choices in Romans 14:14-17. So this is my understanding so far when I read this: Jew and gentiles may choose to have different diets and it is not up to us for judging one another on our diets. It sounds like from what I have read kosher laws is based on our convictions and what’s on our hearts; that is what makes it sin. Basically if I eat pork with a guilty conscience it’s a sin. If I eat pork and believe god is allowing me to eat pork it’s not a sin. And I am only saying that this is specifically for kosher laws. Personally I am convicted not to eat pork. I would love to know your take on this. Thanks again brother!
