Try to keep the weight as high as possible by either securing it to the webbing or using a yoga block to prop it up. The obvious answer is in the ruck (duh) but the smarter answer is as close to your back and as high as possible. This might sound like the stupidest question in the world but the answer will save you from a world of discomfort. There’s not much worse than being 6 miles away from home when a pack breaks and you have to carry 45 lbs of ruck plate home with you. Just make sure you get a pack that will not break under the weight you are carrying. Other “good” packs we’ve heard of are the Rush 12 and Tactical Tailor’s Removable Operator Pack. We bought ours at retail pricing and don’t regret it so don’t feel bad if you have to too. It can be grabbed off GORUCK’s website for a little over $100 when it’s on sale. If you do go with bricks then make sure you wrap them so that they don’t damage whatever pack you end up using. They meet the weight requirement and don’t take up a ton of space in your pack making them ideal for events. If you’re training for a GORUCK Light/ Challenge/ Heavy then you should consider the ruck plates. These are the most cost efficient weights to create and compact enough to easily store. We’re huge fans of simple and easy stuff which is why we recommend GORUCK’s Ruck Plates or using bricks to practice rucking with.
Now that you’ve decided that you want to train for an event you’ll need to create some weight to train with. Even if you’re only able to fit 4 or 8 miles a week in it will still be incredibly beneficial (some would argue more beneficial than weight training) to your performance in a GORUCK or other ruck event. I don’t want you to look at the training plan and get discouraged and forgo rucking altogether. A good ruck pace is 15 minute miles which means if you have an 8 mile ruck planned you need to schedule at least 2 hours. Between your personal life, work (and/or school), and the training you’re already doing most people don’t have a spare time to get the training in. Rucking in itself is not a difficult concept however scheduling your rucks can be a logistical nightmare. Some will increase quicker than others but we recommend everyone new to this start out around 10.
Our recommendation is you start out at 10 pounds and work your weigh up. Someone starting out at 300 lbs should not be putting 30 to 60 pounds in their pack to start. While that’s good it assumes that you’re in shape and can handle it. Nate Morrison recommends starting with items weighing 10% – 20% of your body weight in a backpack over 2 – 4 miles. You’re starting point is directly determined by how athletic and in shape you are. Avoiding injury is ideal so push it but never too hard so that you can’t train again soon. We’ve learned that you should always start out with a light (manageable) weight and train up over time in both weight and distance. There are many training plans out there for events but not many that focus solely on rucking. The main idea is that you will carry heavy weight over a long distance. When we ruck we do so with weight so that we can achieve a great workout. When the military rucks they do it with essential items like weapons, ammunition, etc. The term comes from the military and the packs they move with weigh a ton… more than what you’ll carry in your standard event. Rucking, in it’s simplest form, is moving from location A to location B with your pack. Page Updates & Revisions Cleaned up information and added a second training plan.
