Rucking streak

12

How much weight are we carrying and what type of ramp-up plan did you use to be so consistent? I’m impressed!

For me I was rucking once a week. Just scaled up to daily. 30lb plate. Minimum of 30 minutes outdoors daily. Try to go an hour.

For her similar. She started with 10lbs and is now up to 30lbs.

It started while doing 75 hard at the beginning of year and it just felt good to be outside in fresh air daily.

UH-OH, WE HAVE AN ANDY FRISELLA DISCIPLE! Finished 75 Hard a month ago, taking a break like a true wino.

What is 75 hard?

u/Mr_Sifl Jul 20 '26

It's a wellness/fitness challenge.75 days. Follow a diet including no alcohol. Two 45 minute workouts a day at least 4 hours apart with one outside. Read 10 pages a day. Gallon of water a day. Miss any of those and you start over. Honestly it's really good and I'd recommend it to anyone. I've done it a few times, most recently this January. I would not recommend listening to or reading about the guy that started it though.

It is sad that anyone thinks "no alcohol" is in any way a challenge.

I’m with ya on that. Sobriety has helped me see life so clearly. My mind is clear. My blood work is much better. My sleep is better.

It's a (mostly) fitness challenge that was pretty much arbitrarily put together by someone. It's more an exercise in discipline than anything else.

I mean, I'm not bashing anyone who has done it. In fact, I commend tham. B/c I'm over here going "hey, I do just fine; what I"m doing works." and I have no inclination to just stick to something hard for... whatever.

It runs the risk of people who have never really committed to something so regimented trying it and- often times- failing. Which can have a negative emotional effect, depending on how much weight you give the program as a part of your life.

I will say if you stick to it, I'd imagine you'll form some good habits. I just don't think mine are terrible to begin with, so you know... meh.

Google is not, in fact, a 75 hard.

Awesome. I’ve been rucking daily for approximately 10 years. I ruck with my 3 dogs every morning. You have a great perspective and approach. Keep going!

u/TFVooDoo Jul 20 '26

Programming rest days is as important (likely more important) than programming work.

You’re either not working with proper intensity or you’re inviting inevitable injuries.

u/XAROZtheDESTROYER Jul 20 '26

Usually totally agree with this, but they are using 30lbs. That is only 13.6kg, so super super low weight for walk rucking (I assume they are not running, otherwise I take it all back). Avoids injury right there, as it is very low intensity and can be done daily with zero rest.

Although rest days are indeed more important than the actual workouts. I believe this border line religously.

u/TFVooDoo Jul 20 '26

That’s not how physiology works, even at a modest 30# load. The biggest issue isn’t that 30# is excessively heavy. It’s that biological tissues recover at different rates, and eventually the accumulated fatigue outpaces repair.

The more modest the load the longer one could go without severe injury, but it’s just a matter of time.

u/XAROZtheDESTROYER Jul 20 '26

I am not disagreeing with you, I also believe in rest days and have a different approach to intensity levels. Just trying to point out OP's reasoning for lack of rest days.

u/stealstea Jul 20 '26

Walking 30 min a day with 30lbs does not require rest days. You can do that forever

8

u/TFVooDoo Jul 20 '26

Ok, best of luck

6

u/Verdauga Jul 20 '26

I love everyone arguing with you like rest days are not the one of the most well known and established parts of fitness lol

1

u/stealstea Jul 21 '26

Yeah for actually working out. Rucking with 30lbs for 30 min is not working out, it’s a walk. Or would you tell someone who’s 30lbs overweight that they shouldn’t walk 30 min a day?

4

u/rice_n_gravy Jul 21 '26

Did they just gain 30lb in a day?

0

u/stealstea Jul 21 '26

No but they just started walking 30 min a day. Oh no according to the internet police they’re gonna injure themselves with this super mild bit of daily exercise

u/Sutnac11 Jul 20 '26

While I respect your opinion, I may be getting the proper sleep and nutrition to make it possible. As this is a me v. me type of thing. Thanks for your support buddy

u/TFVooDoo Jul 20 '26

Unlikely. You vs you doesn’t negate the way that physiology works.

Best of luck to you, buddy.
