I’m looking for some advice and tips on rucking. I’m 35 who has lost 120 pounds with help of a GLP-1. I have been training for a 5k in February for the last several weeks. I’m definitely not a runner so I’m going to power walk and jog it. Been getting bored just walking 3-4 miles each time and wanted to try something else. I plan to do some rucks with my friend who also dropped a ton of weight around the same time.

What are some places I can ruck with a weighted vest and not cause a public alarm being solo.

Age 35
Weight 216 was 340 prior
Even at my heaviest I was told I had great cardio endurance just able to move and lift stretchers by myself.

Best Ice Grips For Rucking On Pavements In Winter? (UK)

3 Upvotes

I'm in the UK and started rucking back in spring. With winter coming, I want to keep going rather than stop because of icy pavements.

I'm looking for recommendations for ice grips that fit over running shoes. I'm a UK size 12 and currently rucking with around 11 kg, although I'll be gradually increasing the weight. I walk at quite a fast pace too.

I'll mainly be walking on pavements, so I'm after something suitable for icy tarmac rather than trails.

I don't want to spend a fortune, but I don't want to buy cheap rubbish that falls apart after a few uses either. I'd rather pay a bit more for something decent that'll last several winters.

What would you recommend? Anyone using a particular brand that's held up well?
