This episode is a quick listen at only 14 minutes long, and they cover a wide variety of topics, from diet to workouts.

They mention MyAirForceLife.com within the podcast. Specifically, they point to a useful pdf for exercise training. I investigated the site and it took some time to find the referenced pdf. For your convenience, here is the link: http://www.myairforcelife.com/Fitness/Operational-Fitness-MAR-14.pdf

This episode is a bit longer, at 56 minutes. Two runners take on the Air Force physical fitness test. The beginning is mostly the two runners fretting about what is coming during the car ride; if you want to skip ahead, you can jump to the 8 minute mark.
