Scooter McGee Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 So I did my first ruck-run with my new GR1. I went on a ten mile hike, so I wasn't really hustling like I would in the challenge, but it was loaded with right around 20-30 pounds I think. It went pretty well, but by the end my shoulders were killing me. Specifically the ends of my clavicle - they're still sore from the straps. anyone else have that issue the 1st time the rucked' [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Look out world, I'm smokin' TNT and I'm drinkin' dynamite, so if you know what's good for ya, get out of my way. - SK Challenge 1: http://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?15703-Scooter-McGee-1st-Challenge Link to comment

RandomWanderer Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 When you tighten that pack up it can really get tight pressure around your neck and shoulders for sure... From what I see so far it " loosens up" over time. I just did a 2.5 mile run this morning with it.I never had any soreness because of it though ... Only soreness because of the pack changing my posture.

I really really hate high temps and humidity and fear hyperthermia during one of these. also, I have this job thingy so would have to plan ahead. BUT nonetheless... am intrigued. If we could ballpark a location and date-ish, I could be more specific. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.

Knightwatch Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Good post yesterday on wrapping bricks, with a bit of training advice as well.http://www.gorucknews.com/challenge/wrapping-bricks-explained/Personally, I like to wrap each brick in bubble and gorilla tape separately. If folks on your team do this, it makes it easier to redistribute the bricks if someone is hurtin' (someone likely will be, and remember, it's all about the team). But your mileage, of course, may vary. A he says in the post, the most important thing is to come up with a system that works for you and train with it.(also, notice the hydration in the main compartment. ha, I thought I was the only weirdo that preferred it that way! ) "The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder." --GK Chesterton Domine, non sum dignus ut intres sub tectum meum, sed tantum dic verbo et sanabitur anima mea... http://www.facebook.com/#!/jbaileysewell Link to comment

RandomWanderer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Knight can you talk about brick placement in the pack? Im Thinking of trying to rig up something to put two bricks on the inner molle. I've found just from my brief training with the bricks that having a pile of bricks at the bottom sagging just doesn't work well on my back posture.
