rucking rucking\u2019 <\/strong>for real in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne day during early spring 2023 I packed my backpack full of books from the Airbnb I was staying at, even put a metal vase (lol) to make it heavier and went out on a ruck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ended up walking 32km that day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMy favorite quote about rucking<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nRucking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cardio for people that hate cardio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weightlifting for people that hate weightlifting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Recently in Aug-Sep 2023 I did the Peak of the Blakans across 3 countries with 18kg on my shoulders. Rucking a total of 180km with a Cumulative height uphill of 9,800 meters\u00a0& a downhill 9,900 meters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI\u2019m just getting started into making rucking a habit. I\u2019ve only rucked during 3 months so far, but progressively I plan on using rucking as one of the foundational pillars of my fitness & health going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n

I Use the 6 month average (red line) of how much I\u2019ve walked\/hiked to be the best predictor of my health & energy levels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nOn this blog I\u2019ll share all my tips, learning, experiences along my journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if you\u2019ve never tried rucking, it\u2019s super simple<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 1: WEAR A BACKPACK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: MAKE IT HEAVY(ISH<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 3: WALK<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overthinking it isn\u2019t a step<\/strong>, let inaction people on the internet do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\nImprove (by reading my articles) but first just start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See you on the trails!<\/p>\n\n\n
