The worm has turned and it seems my legs have remembered, after 40 years off training, how to move easily and long again. It's pretty freaking glorious to me. I thought, for quite awhile now, that it might never happen. That my rucks would be basically a hard fought slog; walking in knee high water or occasionally mud. But lately that's changed and it seemed to coincide with lightening the ruck 5 pounds from 50 to 45 lbs
But I think it's more than that and the last 8 years of weekly rucks have finally gotten past the 25 year of pretty much NO aerobic cyclic leg work.
The thursday ruck is the tell. I would fairly regularly have decent Sunday rucks but almost never on Thursdays. I think this is the third or forth week in a row and wearing the Topo trainers all day to stretch out my calves is a game change as well as regards my tight shin issues.
Passive correctives for the win.
45 lb ruck
6 laps in 48min ( not counting another 1/2 mile to and from the park)
3 miles
8021 steps
