If you’re here then you’re probably training up for a GORUCK or ruck style event. When we do our training we use a few different styles of training to prepare our body for the fun.
- Ruck/Sandbag Workouts
- Rucking
- Running

If you are an experienced endurance athlete you can add a 20# ruck or weighted vest to the bodyweight exercises. Keep the runs unloaded. Move quickly through the runs and grind through the exercises. Do the sit-ups with your feet anchored and hands in contact with your temples.
Doing this with a buddy? Turn it into a relay style workout. Switch off every 200m’s on the run until each partner has run 800m. For the exercises, switch off every 20-reps unitl each partner reaches 80-reps.
How do I go about starting this my sister does this and loves it. I went on a 12 mile hike. Could only wear the backpack for a .5 mile. We climbed 66 flights and went 11000 feet. Felt great after slept amazing ❤️🥾🥾
So what do you suggest for people who are not yet endurance athletes? ie old and fat but wanting to participate in Go Ruck Light events.
