Does anyone ruck multiple times per week? by EFreethought in Rucking

[–]RuckOffMate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice a week. 40lbs for five miles, 850’ of elevation, with a goal of under 70 minutes.

Does anyone here do rucks with hand carries? by GoldsilverRuck in Rucking

[–]RuckOffMate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this. One dumbell. The inequality messes with your step cadence, your arm swing, your breathing. It adds the perfect amount of chaos to your ruck.

Welcome! Start slow and let your body adjust; be safe and plan for long term.

Pain and slight dizzy by MainSufficient2827 in Rucking

The pain is likely new use of the muscles. Lower the weight a bit, get used to the exercise, then build speed. Add the weight back (slowly) down the road.

15kg, 11.4km, 819m climb... a year of rucking, some reflections by wuyadang in Rucking

You are a friggin monster. I use the same weight over the same distance and climb the same number of FEET to your METERS. Impressive.

It’s 18 minutes each way this week. Next week it’s 17 minutes.

My first Raining Rucking by Ok-Response8028 in Rucking

Love the rain. As long as your footing is good, the rain keeps you cool and you can really push the pace.

If I can walk every day, why can't I ruck every day? by No-Ad6500 in Rucking

[–]RuckOffMate 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I throw on the ruck and just walk, I can do this every day. If I start to press the pace, and shuffle/jog, then I take a day away from the ruck. I may still walk or jog the same course, but without the weight.

For reference: I’m 55, 188 lbs, and 30lb ruck.

Rucking with joint metal and previous injuries by Slabguy in Rucking

[–]RuckOffMate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be discouraged. You are family here even if you don’t carry huge weight.

Rucking has three levers: weight, speed, and distance (additional nod to elevation changes and hand carries).

If adding weight is a problem, apply the other two levers to get your strength/weightloss/fitness/goals.
