Very solid programm!!!!

It's a very good programm, it took me 2h 23 to finish the first 12 mile test on my first trial after just 4 weeks of training,
I would recommend it to an average audience, not really for a beginner
rating: 9/10
what to improve? it would be great to include some interval runs to cover the entire cardio part. but I understand that you didn't include them because this program is specific for rucking and as such already has a big impact on the body

Former army medic so I enjoy a good reminder of what I used to do in the old days.

Not bad, but it was necessary for me.

This is more of an "intermediate" bridge program to take those that have a solid foundation of fitness already to rucking. It does this great in the first two weeks, building you from a 4 miler to an 8 miler, which I found great to toughen up the feet, although it skips a 7 miler. However, in weeks 3 and 4, it bumps up to a 10 miler and 12 miler respectively, which I would rather have done a slower progression of 9, 10, 11, then 12 miles. However, this program has given me something to stick to, and an idea for how I can program rucking for myself in the future. Ive found the RPE system to be great for rucking. Thanks for not forcing a 15:00 min/mile pace on us, 5'4" and below folks like myself have to force a fast walk cadence at lighter loads (25lb) and a shuffle at standard loads (35lb+) to maintain faster than 15:00/mile. If I can stave off injury with what I perceive to be an aggressive progression, I can definitely see this program improving my ability to carry weight faster.

later in my adult life of 37. when i was a teenager i would hike and ruck 3 to for 12 milers a year. Finding a way out from stress, being a dad, husband, critical care paramedic/firefighter. A lot can take a toll on you. In reviews of gritty soldier and rucking HELL YEAH. Thank you for what you do and giving back. I been working out with your stuff it’s a mental out and stress reliever. It’s not about losing weight but overall well being. I quit looking at the weight scale. The feeling i get is worth it and it’s a mental and physical outage for me. As far as workouts it’s a killer. Something you said can’t out ruck or run a diet. So much truth there.. thank you so much

#1 Rucking Program Hands Down

This program is perfect if you want to exceed and just be in better shape! It’s helped me drop weight and build muscle for sure! I’ll be 45 in April and will for sure be in the best shape since basic in 2002! Definitely #1 training program for rucking!
