I am bringing rucking back. This is mostly copied from the RuckFit challenges run by @Rurik Harrgathmany moons ago.

 

  • The First Rule of RuckFit is Always Talk About RuckFit.
  • The Second Rule of RuckFit is Although This Is A PVP, We Are A Team.  Support one another!
  • The Third Rule of RuckFit is Ruck All The Things!

 

WHAT IS RUCKING?

The GoRuck website defines rucking as...

To put weight on your back and go for a walk. More weight or more miles equals more results, more friends and more time together equals more fun.

SAFETY BRIEFING:

If you are new to rucking, please do not bite off more than you can chew.  Marching around and exercising with heavy weight on your back is an activity best worked up to.  Start out light and build your capacity up from there.  Recommended starting weights are 5# for women and 10# for men.  If you find that is too easy, upgrade to 10# for women and 20# for men.  Start small and work your way up as you build confidence and capability!

 

Without further ado, let's get into the metaphorical meat and potatoes of RuckFit.

 

RuckFit Light goals:

  • 20 miles rucked during the pre Rucktober challenge.
  • Complete two (2) RuckFit WODs during the course of this challenge.
  • Complete two (2) RuckFit challenges over the course of this challenge.

 

Here is where the PvP factor comes in.  20 miles is only the goal, which means the sky is the limit.  Ruck as much or as little as you want.  Treating this as a motivational PvP challenge will keep each one of us striving for more mileage.  Get out and enjoy that September weather!

 

For the sake of this event, only urban/rural rucking mileage will be allowed.  While camping and hiking to a particular destination with a pack full of sustainment gear is an excellent activity, carrying a weighted backpack for the sole purpose of exercise is a different effort entirely.  Load up that pack with your choice of weight, some water and food if you feel the need, and call it a day.  We're operating on the honor system here, folks.

 

Here lay the Challenges and WODs.  Feel free to substitute and scale wherever necessary.

 

RuckFit WODs:

Whatever you make of it!  This category is entirely open to your imagination, but a guideline would be 3 Rounds For Time of 10 ruck squats, 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, 50 meter crab walk or AMRAP in 5 minutes of the same, for example.  Please post your workout for verification and the viewing of others!

 

RuckFit Challenges:

  1. Two minutes maximum Push-ups.  Two minutes maximum Sit-ups.
  2. Three mile mountain/hill terrain ruck.
  3. Three mile overnight ruck.  Must start and end during night hours.
  4. Carry 20 pounds of coupons for 2 miles of your ruck.  Any item will do.
  5. Ruck 10 miles on top of the 20 mile requirement.
  6. Don't stop rucking until you've hit 8 miles.
  7. Three mile beach ruck
  8. Ruck with a friend
  9. Fill a grocery bag with trash while rucking

Now get out there and log some mileage under a heavy load!
