4 mile run with 30lb backpack

Harder on the legs quads and calves than I expected, but felt pretty easy 6/10 should have ran faster. Felt good though gotta do this more often.

What I really wanna do is hill sprints with a weighted backpack…that would be a great exercise……….

I did an hour ruck with 80 lbs in the rucksack this morning. Was only 3.75 miles but burned a ton of calories and got to enjoy nature at a slower pace on a beautiful day.

Ruck is a nice change up to running/lifting and seems to kind of hit both of those worlds. Really underrated workout

Be careful with running with weight added to your back, it's a great way to get knee injuries. I sprained my MCL in the Army from them. (Ded fkn Srs)

Depends on his shoes and other factors. If this is just a change up and not a regular thing OP is alright

I don’t plan on doing this every day. Maybe once every 2-3 weeks (weighted run/jog). Maybe work up to once a week depending how it feels.

Also try to take breaks between doing the same thing, I know not to overdo it.

A while back I ran a few miles with 60 or 70 pounds attached. Big mistake as I tore fascia under my feet and had to still walk back a few miles. 30 sounds a lot safer. Ruck march with lots of weight is good and safe though.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!
