April rucking Challenge

The Mile

Ruck 1 mile as heavy as possible.

The Challenge

Ruck 1 mile. As heavy as possible.

The challenge is simple, but it isn't easy. Load up as heavy as you can and ruck 1 mile — you can't set any weight down until you finish. Heavy enough that you think you might not make it. Heavy enough that you stop and consider quitting. Heavy enough that when you finish, you vow never to do that again. If you finish the mile and think “that wasn't so bad,” you failed. It was too light.

Because doing hard things and earning patches is awesome.

Well... nothing. You still get the patch. But, come on. It is gonna be awesome.
