#rucking — Public Fediverse posts

Just got back from a three-mile ruck. Right after I got back, I realized one of my weights was missing from my bedroom...turns out it was in my backpack the whole time, and what I thought was a three-mile, forty-pound ruck was actually my first-ever fifty-pound ruck! I wasn't trying to set personal records today because this was my first ruck in several weeks. I was just trying to get my groove back and accidentally set a PR in the process 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

Very cold morning. Couldn’t bring myself to do my morning run so I threw on a 30lb #ruck instead. Great way to mix things up. #rucking

First time exploring with a machete. It feels more like a gimmick than an actual tool and wondering if a walking stick could have achieved the same tasks while battling through thorny shrubbery.

This note taking schema is mentioned in this diary entry:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/barefootstache/diary/403828

The diary talks about #OpenStreetMap exploration in #Croatia. The author has to tackle three water crossings while carrying their 45 lbs #ruck and deal with prickly scrub without a machete. See if you would also be up for the challenge!

Most #fitness trackers use METs to calulate calorie expediture. This makes it fairly difficult to calculate the MET for #rucking, since it varies on #ruck weight, movement speed, and incline percentage.

As an estimate one can use hiking cross country[^1] at 6.0 MET and taking the difference of hiking hills, 12 lb pack[^1] and hiking up hill[^1] one sees that every 2 lbs adds 0.1 MET.

For example, let a person carry a 45 lbs ruck, then the MET is

Time to do an #introduction:

I am here sharing my favorite #exercise method: #rucking including #ruckPT and/or #sandbag #WOD.

I am currently training for #GoRuck #fitness events at the end of May in #Normandy #France.

Among other things, I am building a website to help new people to rucking find local #RuckClub|s| and/or #ruck specific events. Currently the focus is for the #DACH region.
