The ruck after a beast training session is pretty much always the same: slow and hard. It's getting better though, I loosen up faster, die later and not as bad but it might be awhile before I can feel light on my feet after that heavy ass bell.
I changed the orientation of the load a bit too, got it to sit up a bit higher than before( as is the standard wisdom) but it didn't feel better. I have a very short torso and lean quite a bit normally. The higher COG made me lean even more.
I'll be putting the load back as it was.
But it wasn't too bad, just hotter and muggier than usual. Heat is what really gets you in shape and that's coming. Today was barely a warmup to that :)
Six 30 second iso squats between laps 4 and 11. Lap times were around 8:15 not bad
Ruck
50 lbs
12 laps
6 iso squats
2 full hours :)
"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."
