" And intensity is born from consistency"
Yes indeed. I didn't think this was going to be a fast ruck at all today; when I started out my legs felt heavy and tight and my lungs weren't open at all. I settled into what I thought was an 8:20 pace for the first three laps and was shocked when I timed my fourth lap : 7:53!
Almost never have I started out a Sunday ruck with a post 8 minute lap time but there it was.
Seventh lap was faster still 7:43 and the ninth was the exact same time Crazy!
I purposely sped up for the last lap to see if I could get close to my all time pr of 7:32 and was shocked to see 7:22 on my watch!
After two hours of rucking. Sweet. Definitely a line of conditioning has been crossed.

"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."
