When do you did it, how did you balance your training?

>>77213758
just fucking go. if you want standards, ill tell you what I can remember. army grunts would ruck with 60-120lbs for miles and miles. really really funny seeing a 5'6" grunt with a 120lb ruck. they walk, crawl.
rangers, same shit, they move faster.
SF less weight, moving faster
seals, 45lb plate in the radio pouch of an alice pack and we ran. I mean we fucking RAN.

The longest timed, ruck run ive done in training was 16 miles in the desert and soft sand. it was hot as fuck. i took second and got beat by a guy who ran distance in college and he ran it under two hours. I was a little over two, so roughly ~7.5 minute miles for sixteeen miles in rising heat with full kit + ruck. it fucking sucks

your gate can not stay the same. you have to adjust depending on how much your carrying, fatigue, running surface, shoes. If youre in the sand get on your toes and shorten your steps

This is almost twenty years ago now...

The only thing pack marching is good for, is breaking you over time.

Honestly you're better off straping a light chest-rig on and doing some hill sprints.

if you can't run sub 7 minute miles i would expect to be able to ruck sub 8 minute miles. Also, highly prone to injury. I wish I had some pictures of the chaff you suffer from this shit. your back, thighs, armpits will just turn to burger . some dudes have thicker skin but it don't matter

>>77213791
lol this guy knows

>>77213747
only 10-15kg for a few months. lost fat as a walker but needed to walk for hours to feel something. walking with weight was the bridge to running

>>77213747
I do a lot of backpacking and hiking.
I don't do much for gym leg day except during cold months. Ex active fatty though so I have decent legs from carrying around 50lbs of ballast anyways

>>77213747
No thanks from a former 11C in 10th Mountain. Id rather just wear a plate carrier and do 60/120's.

>>77213747
Rucking is retarded. If you really want to do something similar just go backpacking in the mountains, way more fun and there's actually a point to it.

>>77213747
If you've gotta ruck you gotta ruck but for the most part honestly just do like incline walking instead on a treadmill or something, it works similar muscles and doesn't crush your knees on your free time

>>77213777
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?

Just wear a vest or weighted backpack and start with low weight to save your knees from exploding

>>77213747
just go to school if you want to carry backpacks with a bunch of textbooks in them lmao

If carrying heavy groceries home count, then I ruck.

>>77213747
Fuck that shit, I absolutely hated it and never saw any benefits to it. Only physical damage. One of my least favourite things I had to do in the infantry.

Rucking is the worst form of "training." You should only do it if you're literally forced to. There are no gains to be made and you'll only end up damaging joints in your lower body until at least one breaks.
Ask me how I know.

>>77214892
I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.

>rucking isn't good for anything
It's not the best way to train individual fitness, and it is highly injurious, but sometimes it's the only way to get some shit done. The armed forces wouldn't waste their fucking time with it if they didn't need to. Being able to carry shit is a good skill for man to have.

Based brother too bad all these pigs are gonna take our VA gibs soon

Why do so many ruckers and ruck groups absolutely LARP as military? They have the Velcro patches, give each other call signs, wear camo, have bags that clearly look like it came from a surplus store

All to walk around their suburbia hellscapes. Very gay indeed

You’re better off just back country hiking with your gear and maybe learn to camp if you can

Rucking has no health benefits.
As a former medic I’d ask my providers what they thought of Chiropractors and rucking.
Fake and gay is pretty much the consensus.
I worked with an FST, Family med, PT clinic, Docs, nurses, and PA’s and they all said the same thing.

>>77216724
Because they were too shitty/scared to do the real thing. They’ve also never had to do it with chewed up feet, sleep deprivation, heat exhaustion, or any number of shitty things that generally seem to go along with the real-world application of rucking. I seriously hate rucking and am bewildered why anyone would do it

>>77216724
The world is absolutely filled with fags who were scared to join the military but like to imagine themselves as tacticool tough guys. It's just another form of that.

I kinda Ruck. So last summer I bought an inflatable paddle board, and since I live in Seattle I just walk the mile and a half to different bodies of water to paddleboard. With an hour of paddling and 3 miles walking with 50 pounds on my back, shit burns minimum 1000 calories. I'll do that like twice a week, and then lift the other 3 or 4 during the summer to keep my esthetics.

i like to ruck on a treadmill, its a good foundational exercise and if you do it enough it makes you more solid. you dont have to do anything drastic. just stat with 20 pounds or something and walk for a few miles and build up. ive gone through periods where i can go for a long time with 45 pounds in. sometimes i just do one mile take a break and do another mile with like 60 pounds. the trick is slow build up and dont go full retard with your volume. one nice thing about doing it once or twice a week is if you have weak areas somewhere those usually get stronger by doing it. its also good for you if you have prior knee injuries from sports or something because its low impact. idiots will tell you rucking is bad for your knees but they will tell you to run. go look up the data for how much force hits your knees running without any weight and then look up how much force hits your knees if you ruck with less than a third of your body weight. so you can get more intensity out of steady state cardio this way without as much wear and tear on joints you already have issues with. the trick as i said before is start slow with low weight and low weekly volume similarly to how you build up speed and mileage as a runner.

>>77218882
oh and by the way if someone says rucking with 30 pounds or something is going to hurt your knees or back or something then anyone who has 30 pounds of muscle is in danger just fucking walking. use your brain seriously think about it logically.

>>77213747
If you think the word "bone on bone" sounds really cool, by all means go as heavy and as long as you like.

If you don't plan on living in a wheelchair for a portion of your life, just do normal hiking with a 10-40 lb pack. Rucking is literally meat fodder activity.

>>77213753
You're a liar and faggot.
Going out for a walk or a jog with a weighted vest is a full body workout, rucking has similar effect but weight distribution is harder

I don't see the point, just lift weights and go hiking with a normal backpack, you'll be healthier and more fit

I'm a fat fuck so just walking is considered rucking for me.

>>77213753
Everyone hates SEALs

>>77213747
Rucking is only good if you're trying to prepare for the military or wildland fire. There is zero reason to do it otherwise. I did wildland and although the weight we pack out is tiny compared to military folx I still ground my ankles to dust over time taking ~30lbs plus chainsaw and other shit up rocky slopes day in and day out. Miss the adventure but holy shit my ankles and hips will never be the same.
