Slow to fast ruck

Having missed Thursdays ruck I was worried about my legs. With only two sessions  a week when I miss half it seems to takes its toll

Today was no exception and my legs felt stiff, heavy and wooden getting started, and, as usual it took over an hour for my lungs to open up.

40 degrees or so to meant it was more than brisk.
I took my time though and stopped a little more often to let the legs relax and get loose
