This could be the hardest ruck I've done. I slept great, felt great all day and had no idea that as soon as I strapped on my 50 lb ruck ( decided not to go with 45 to make up for missing Sunday) my legs and lungs would start to yell at me immediately.
Plus the heat. 96 degrees plus at 1 pm and the sun pretty much directly overhead. No breeze. Hot as Fuck. I thought I was in better shape for this but I am not. At least not today. Pace was decent but I had to stop at least once per lap to rest on laps 4,5 and 6.
And it didn't help much either. Legs actually loosened up but I was struggling for breath with my HR at 145 + the whole time. Back was tired under the ruck too. But there was nothing serious to deal with other than I just didn't want to do it and it was hard. Oh well. One step at a time. Into an ice shower right after. Cold never felt so good.
Sundays illness or whatever really kicked my ass it seemed.
But it didn't kill me so I must be stronger
