Man this was tough. My calves were tight as a drum for the first hour! I had to stop and rest and shake them out way more than I wanted to. Could it be the new lifting shoes with a slightly ( 1/8" 0 lower heel? Makes no sense but man they were tight.
Everything else felt great but I wasn't sure they were going to loosen up!
They finally did an hour into the ruck, then things got much better
Wasn't even thinking of a timed last lap but by the end of the ruck I felt loose enough to go for it. Didn't break 7 min but close enough and considering how things started it was excellent
48 lb ruck
12 laps
11 squat stretches
2:00 even
last lap = 7:02
RPE 10/8
BW 172.8
BF 13.9
"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."
