April Rucking Challenge
Double Trouble
The Challenge:
Ruck 1 Mile Fast, 1 Mile Heavy, 1 Mile Faster, 1 Mile Heavier.
Let's do this
April Challenge
We’ve all got the ability to push a little faster and go a little heavier, right? Time to find out!
For this challenge you will:
Mile 1 – Ruck at your normal ruck weight pushing your pace faster than normal.
Mile 2 – Add weight either in your ruck or with something like a sandbag. Complete the mile without setting down the additional weight.
Mile 3 – Drop back to your normal rucking weight and finish the mile faster than mile 1.
Mile 4 – Load up heavier than mile two. Ruck the final mile without dropping the weight.
Dropping the weight and/or not beating your time is a fail. You must reattempt the challenge.
Difficulty:
Beginners: You can do miles 1+2 and 3+4 on different days.
Experienced: As written.
Crazy Folk: Ruck in this order – Mile 2, 1, 4, 3.
Clubs: This challenge will best be done at a track or somewhere people can push themselves as individuals OR set team pace and weight goals.
Weight:
Normal weight in the ruck. Additional weight for miles 2 & 4.
