New WOD's New Body

The past couple months my workout regime has changed dramatically. I went from Oly lifting and strength workouts about 3-4x a week, with WOD's about 5-6x a week. I would have to say I was feeling strong, I was feeling fast with light to medium weights, and my WOD times where pretty good. My weakness at the time was longer WOD's 30 mins and longer, also my run times where not that good.
Now my WODs are more like task. I have been following one of the programs from Military Athlete, a ruck march focused program. Some days there are 5 sessions and each session is like a WOD, most the time the are not for time. Some of the sessions are a 1 to 2 hour ruck march. (For y'all that do not know what a ruck march is, it is a light run/ fast walk with a pack on your back and boots on your feet.) Its a good time. I nother good work out I have done is:
30 mins hard pace
3 min jog
20 mins hard pace
2 min jog
10 mins hard pace

Now I'm feeling faster on my run's, my road marches feel good. I am not feeling strong and even my body weight stuff does'nt feel to great. I did "Kelly" a couple days ago 400 M run 30 box jumps 30 wall balls 5x, I have not had that much intensity in a workout for a while. I was sore for 2 days.
It is a little frustrating, then I think about my goal and I just keep moving forward. It will all be worth it.
