Thank you guys for getting me motivated to do something. I
With my career change I don't have the availiaility to ride my bike like I was in the past. This seems like the obviously solution to gain control of my health. As a former Marine I have had my fair share of Forced Marches!!! Found a simple Ruck sak online and plan on starting off slow this week with a 10# sand bag and a goal of 5 miles each day of the work week and a 10 mile on a weekend day. Starting weight is 218 goal weight is 190. |

Another 7 miles in this chilly arse morning and that puts me at 76.75 for the year (Shut it, Swamp Rabbit). Took a new ruck out today that I finally received from a Kickstarter campaign and I have to say I know it's not purpose built for loading steel plates (or bricks) like my GR0 is (although, one of the co-owners was one of the designers/founders for GORUCK when they developed the GR rucks) it really rides nice with a 30# plate in the laptop compartment. I've got an 18 mile training ruck this Saturday so I'm going to also load two 10# bags of rice into it to get up to 50# and if all goes well I'll bring it to Jailbreak.

I read yesterday where the Army will no longer include it in their training program. It never really said why just that it was stopping.

I have been doing it 2 to 3 times a week and love it. I usually do about an hour to 1.5 hrs. I really have nothing to judge as I'm not in the business of loosing weight but after my walks I feel like I have got something out of them.

Still holding in the top 5. That dude in 1st finally posted on FB... one of those runners that are always running marathons. Aint gonna see 1st place ever again. Most others are mixed runners, walkers, rucking
Mine are all rucks of varying loads so I am surprised I am still up there since running is more time efficient when it comes to miles. ![]() Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk |

I am signed up for the Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico next month. I am walking/rucking about 20-25 miles each week in preparation. I also started doing it to work on long hikes for an elk hunt soon!

It has gotten to be a daily evening routine for me. I hike about 2 miles a day with 25 lbs of gear in my Molle ll large ruck sack. I really like the real cold days. Sunday it was cold and misting. I hiked about 2 miles, stopped made some coffee down in a creek bottom, then hiked back out. Here are some pics from this evening.

That being said, I turn 40 this year and have been tossing around the idea of doing a 40 miler in one day. Not sure if I will do that in lieu of doing an 2nd annual ruck and cast... or do both. On that note, I hit 400 miles today with a 14 mile total day today. ![]() Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk |

Had to take a break this week to help detemine if I have a hernia... Did 9.5 miles the first week with a 30# pack. If the rain holds off next week I should be able to get in at least 12 miles.

Great thread. I need something to make my walking into better exercise. I am going to start with a 20 lbs this weekend with my hunting pack. It is an ALPS Outdoors Pursuit.

I did 16 miles weekend before last with my Jailbreak load to see how it felt. Went well, but when I weighed the ruck after I got home the combination of 30# steel plate, 20# (more like 23) sandbag, 3L water bladder and the ruck itself clocked in at 65#. If they're serious about having water stations every 2 miles, I may ditch the bladder.

My ruck will be a duffel strapped to a freighter pack anyways. If it were not a suppprted ruck event, I would have to plan differently. I wish the target weight was 40... I'd be set... but they said 50... so I am going 50 ![]() Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk |

I have stayed with the 15 pounds walking 2-3 miles a day. I wanna get up to the consistent 5 mile walk average then will add some weight.
My wife wants me to get her a backpack now, she enjoys it also. Having a 3 yr old and a 8 month makes it challenging to get in more than 2-3 miles a day. After that long with momma pushing them in the stroller they are ready to get out. !! |

Right at 4 hours for the 13.1 miles and the ruck weighed in at 64#. Was even able to grab a shower before we take off for San Antonio. Swamp Rabbit was ahead of me but I didn’t get a chance to see him at the finish.

That guy you finished with was Barry Eaves. Hes a McKinney PD SWAT sniper thats 50 years old and has had 7 knee surgeries. Hes my brother in law.
Hes married to my 2nd oldest sister and Vince was married to my 3rd oldest sister. I appreciate you guys coming out. 1369, I spent most of the day trying to read that label on your bag. I was near you most of the route. |

I completed the GORUCK 'Remember the Alamo' Tough and Light this weekend. Started at 9PM Friday, finished about 8:30PM Saturday. A total of about 30 miles with some heavy heavy sandbags that we swapped as we walked. Two were in the 80-90# range.
