Knocked out my first ruck while walking the dogs
Recently started going to the gym and starting my diet 2 weeks ago. (M30, 6’0”, 280lbs). Decided I wanted to upgrade my cardio by Rucking while walking my dogs instead of just walking without weight (I hate running.)
This felt pretty good. Added 30lbs of weight in an old 5.11 pack I had lying around. I was able to keep the weight high and tight but it’s missing the sternum strap which I feel would help with the shoulder soreness I started to get about half way through. I’ll probably upgrade eventually but this works for now. Total weight was 37lbs on the scale including the weight of the pack and water bladder.
I probably could have shaved a couple minutes walking by myself as my dogs love stopping and smelling the flowers, but I’m still decently happy with this and I know I have plenty of room to grow. Looking forward to seeing how good I can get.
