I’ve been wearing an 11-lb weighted vest for several years on a daily 5K walk in my suburban neighborhood, which is slightly hilly, and occasionally in the nearby county park trails. I knew it was time to level up so I went into the market for a Ruck. An elite athlete whom I admire was raving about the Wild Gym ruck on Instagram and I reached out to learn more from her. Her opinion was all I needed and I went all in on the 20-lb Feather Ruck Bundle. It took a couple of days to get used to the new weight and to adjust to the more technical aspects of the gear, ie, straps, buckles, water, and phone accessories, but once I did, I was literally up and running…well, mostly walking, but I do plan to run in it and compete in Spartan DEKA Ruck events next year. I love my Ruck and highly recommend it!
