Demonstrating this week's workout is Marine Capt. AJ Cillo. Cillo, 27, is a ground supply officer and an ultrarunner. Last month, agility and quick feet helped him finish the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100-miler in 25 hours, 23 minutes for 20th overall. (Photo by Mike Morones, photo illustration by John Harman)
