Go Ruck Prep

Go Ruck light in NYC this Saturday coming up. Starts at tge federal building. With rugby starting this week I want to get some time with the weighted ruck on so it looks like today is the day. 25lbs of bricks and 6lbs of water. Tested it with some short workouts and movements so far but I want to see what some distance will be like. Just like any distance event some weird stuff can happen when things are moving on a repeated basis for an extended period.
