Fitness books.

I have two in my book-shelf that I recommend:

1. SAS Fitness Book - by Chris Ryan.
2. Fighting Fit - by Adrian Weale.

Both deal with physical training which is particularly relevant for people who are in the military.

"As Far as my Feet Will Carry me" by Joseph Bauer.

Has anyone read this book?
I'm tempted to order it, but it seems like it's never coming around to that.

It'll be interesting to see if he can bring a new view to the table, or just churn on with the "Chris Ryan slated Vince Phillips unfairly" mantra..... :-?

Re: SAS-books!


I find it an interesting read, but I doubt Asher's credibility.

Asher was in 23 and a member on these forums did serve with him. 23 hasn't just one location and Asher was at Leeds and Ryan was located somewhere in Northumbria(?) Its a very good book and pisses on a fair of the shite, hype and ...

(Everybody's read Andy McNab's and Chris Ryan's non-fiction and ficion-books, so I'm not touching those now).

Hello and welcome to the forum ortlieb

Thanx!

I was in for 4 years. I travelled some, but only within Norway. I had a chance to do a tour in Kosovo (KFOR V), but it didn't fit into the overall scheme at the time ...
