Now this is what my rucking is supposed to feel like! Legs and calves(!) were loose and strong and pace was good from the get go.
Body felt great with zero aches or issues from yesterday or last week at all. Considering how wonky my left arm and shoulder felt Friday this was shocking
Just goes to show that when one bone is not sitting right the rest of the train tracks don't either .
Things I did different:
100 ups for a warmup before the stretching
Wearing vibrams five fingers three times this week for work
Thorlo hiking socks and not tight compression socks
Lacing Salomon high tops only mid way and looser as well
Zero calf or feet issues
Finished 15 minutes faster too! that's a speed record. I thought last lap would be 7:15 but was off a bit but still 7:31 after almost two hours is fine. Just a wee bit faster than most of the laps
One difference is that I did not have to stop and shake it out at all this time. First in quite awhile
50 lb Ruck
12 laps
11 iso squats
1:45 min
Last lap 7:31
BW 169.4
BF 11.8
one more workout before I leave Thursday for the cert. Hope to make it a strong one!

"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."
