![ทททททททท #27 [หลุยส์ เค โตมายังไง ณ สระบุรี]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CaKoYw_Xmtg/mqdefault.jpg)
Started rucking in march and the first day kicked my ass. Had on 30 pounds and the hills killed me. Had to stop like 3 times on every hill. These are trails in my local state park. So big hills. Rocks roots and mud. After 3 weeks I started rucking every day. Now Im up to 7 miles a day and blast the hills no problem. My body feels great and actually I crave the time in the woods now. Lost 25 pounds so far too. 25 more to go. Im shooting for 180 miles a month. Have to account for the rain days. It rains here a bunch in the spring. 57 yrs old and haven’t felt this good since being in the military. Rucking is awesome. I think I found my forever form of exercise. Proper pack and proper shoes definitely number one on my list. Trail runners all but eliminated my sore feet. When I do 10 miles they still start to hurt. Maybe with time they will come around. Right now my feet are holding me back from more distance. I’ll keep plugging along and Im sure they will get better. Go ruck and bring a friend.
That’s awesome James!! Keep it going! Your feet should toughen up over time. Just listen to them
@@JBOutside1 I listen to them now. They be barking at mile 9. Im pretty much doing the same few loops that are about 7 miles each. Takes me a little less than 2 hrs. I really cant go any faster because the terrain. So I will probably up my weight soon to make it harder. Ive lost almost my entire pack weight in fat. So my body is moving less weight than when I started. So I think adding some of that back in my pack will keep it challenging. So far Im loving it. Plan on doing a 100 mile thru hike in a few weeks. No way I could have done that back when I started. I have the confidence to do it now. Im already thinking about doing the Everest challenge. That looks like one heck of a challenge.
Been doing the math on time on trail and pounds of weight lost. Seems like 1000 calories per hour for rucking on hills is pretty accurate for me. They say its a conservative number. But the weight is going away consistently. Almost 25 pounds in 2 months.
JB, the small Yes4All 10lb and 15lb stacked above each other equal the dimension of a Standard Goruck Plate, which gives great versatility. 15lb, 20lb, 25lb, 30lb, combine them as you want with 2x10lb and 2x15lb for less than the price of a GR one. They also fit perfectly in the ruckers plate pocket and also every backpack I encountered. My ruck club members love them for price and versatility. Oftentimes the combined price of the Rucker and the official GR plate is to much for a newbie, so these are a nice compromise.
Good stuff! There’s a ton of value in those plates and more options than I had time to dive into in the quick video. Glad you guys have an economic way to get out there!
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time for this informative video. It was so incredibly informative and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Could you do a beginner ruck video aimed at senior adult women please? Adjusting sternum straps moving them, and time frames of walking, pace, do you track??? Are there 15 lb plates? 10 is great but when do you know it’s time to increase???TIA
So I don't have immediate plans to do a new version of rucking 101...that said, to address your questions...
Adjusting sternum straps: I start with the sternum strap one up from the bottom. Start there and see how it works. Installing these can be a pain so make sure you really want to move them. I did a video on the process which should help.
Pace is very personal and slow is just fine to start. I wouldn't necessarily worry about the speed. Focus on how you feel and increase the time or distance that you have time for and that feels comfortable.
Best to start with 10lbs and pick-up a 5lb weight plate from an old workout set. Or just add water bottles (which you can drink or dump out if it gets too heavy). I haven't seen a 15lb plate.
Hope this helps!
Try Notch hats, if you haven’t; you won’t believe how well they work with glasses.
It’s hard to beat the Bullet for comfort and utility.
Good start to the New Year.
Thanks!! I’ll check them out
JB, you've shared great and practical info for anyone wanting to start out with rucking. Beginning with any basic gear and weights (at minimal cost/investment) while observing health guidelines and good nutrition inspires viewers to get out and move! Awesome job! -Alex @ Vanquest
Thanks Alex! Would love to work on something with you guys...let me know if you're interested!
@@JBOutside1Sounds great! I'll message you via your Yahoo email.👍Thanks! -Alex @ Vanquest
Thank you for your pragmatic approach to addressing rucking queries. Most helpful.
You bet Deb! Thanks for watching!
this was great, thank you for all you do.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Another great, informative video. I've been watching your videos, and taken your advice on my purchases. I have a couple of Go Ruck packs for rucking, but my favorite, and is my EDC is the Mystery Ranch waxed wood which you also reviewed / recommended. Thanks again.
Very cool! Glad they helped. Finding the right EDC fit is a big win! 👊🏻
Great video as always!
Thanks again! 👊🏻
If you experience blood circulation issues when rucking, take it seriously. The shoulder straps compress the thoracic outlet, which contains veins and arteries - in an extreme case you could get a blood clot.
Absolutely!! 👍🏻
JB great video! Rucking has changed my fitness coming from stictly lifting and not being able to run. I use it primarily for zone 2 work and 1xWK ill climb steep hills and not worry if my heart rate gets fairly high for some higher intensity cardio and loving it. Would be cool to see how you break yours up
Mine is pretty basic normally in just a maintenance mode. But when I’m training there’s more variety with some speed work and more hills for sure.
Thank you for addressing some Q and A for beginners.
My advice would be stretching, calves and hips, I found out the hard way with plantar fasciitis issues.
Oh, and socks!!
Get good socks, love Balega hidden comfort.
Love rucking, beats the hell out of running!
Good point! #21: stretch!!!
For me, the light of choice for night visibility is the Olight Gober.
Nice one! 👊🏻
Where can I find a distance only event? I've looked into GoRuck events but would like to start with distance
GORUCK hosts “City Rucks” (which used to be called Star Courses). Those are rucking only. Otherwise try and find a local ruck club
Can frequent rucking in the long term change the shape of the shoulders? (shoulders droop)?
That's a great question. All I can say is for me that is not the case...just strengthening from the resistance
Do you/ have you ruck(ed) with your grxc2? And do you think it could handle long/short term rucking?
Aside from Disney, I haven’t “rucked” with it. It’s definitely durable enough and backed by Scars.
@@JBOutside1 I appreciate the response, I’ve been trying to get a good gauge on how much the grxc2 can take, obviously I don’t want to overdo it but i definitely want to get the most out of it. I don’t ruck often and usually use a vest but I’d like to switch it up every now and then. That and I’m interested in seeing how the denim weathers with hard use.
Question: is it ok to leave the weights inside the rucker all the time?... by default i would say it will brake the backpack faster, but maybe this bags are so strong they don't even need it...
I don't remove the plates. There's more wear and tear by removing them. I do also store the Rucker either on its back or front side down. If it's on its end standing up it's bending the frame sheet.
Great video! I get to be your first comment lol
Nice!! Gotta get up early!! 🪱
