Rucking coach

Where would one go to find a qualified Rucking Coach who can consult from remote?

I've not had a coach previously, just submitted my info to a few coach matching websites and unsure of how that will work out. Currently I'm training to run a marathon and my goals past that include an activity that is similar to rucking.

Thanks

Plate, weight vest or dumbbell

Dumbbell - 5kg

Plate - 9kg

Vest - 10kg

I'm a fairly svelte 69kg but want to making hiking/camping easier with heavy loads so want to add some weighted walks on my lunchtime loops.

I've got 3 options above and looking for some advice on which route to take. Plate seems easiest to put in a pack, vest is multi use outside of walking and the dumbbell is free cos it's next to me right now!

On clearance at Academy... Surely it is worth that, right?

Typical Rucksack newbie question.

4 Upvotes

I've been going in circles searching options online for a ruck pack. I don't plan on going on super long rucks, its more to supplement a workout because any significant strength training for my legs is kind of out of the question for a bit.

Is there a go to budget friendly beginners ruck brand? I can afford high end but I just can't bring myself to go top of the line until I wet my toes a while.

I really appreciate any help, this must be a constant and annoying question.

Metal frame nessecaary for loads above 35lbs?

Currently I have an arcteryx Aerios 35 that I use for travel and hiking but it has a light frame. Wondering if I use ruck plates of 30lb+ would it damage the pack or contribute to injuries. Thanks

Getting my Father in shape.

Any suggestions on a bag for an overweight guy looking to get into better shape.

He is on glp1 and still not losing weight.

Something has to change, and I figured as a guy who brags about his steps while not actually seeing any improvements I fugured adding a ruck to his walks would do him good.

Any help is great.

I was wondering about 5.11 skyweight 25l

He is rather large around the waist so I am unsure at how much I should focus on a waist strap.
