10 minutes per mile is my now goal. I need new shoes first… and a savior second.Ya you need to cut that mile by 8 min. But don’t be discouraged, just follow today up with a run tomorrow and just keep at it

I've been rucking with 40lbs once a week and I think it's really improving my mountain fitness (along with running/rock climbing).Took a two mile walk with my wife after dinner, threw the pack on (50lbs or so).
It kind of sucked. I’m not a big ruck guy, but I probably should get a few more of those under my belt.
I personally like to make sure I do downhill training. Nothing tears you up like taking a heavy load down a steep descent.I've been rucking with 40lbs once a week and I think it's really improving my mountain fitness (along with running/rock climbing).
A friend recommended rucking uphill with water and dumping it at the top/going downhill to save knees. Soreness has been minimal I think because of this!
I did my weekly weigh-in. Had a good week of eating and drinking water, did 3 workouts that week. What did I lose? 0.1 lbs.
Celebrate the little victories, right?
So i've been doing it around our neighborhood lately and Ive found the greatest benefit to just be getting those small connector muscles, etc used to carrying a pack. my legs aren't going to gain as much from rucking as those small muscle groups in my back, hips, butt.Took a two mile walk with my wife after dinner, threw the pack on (50lbs or so).

Two years ago when I was at the height of my ultra running, I tracked my weight daily - mostly to deal with water issues - and I wish I had seen this chart then. Because the spikes on my weight chart were intense, but the trend line was definitely going down. That can really get in people's head and derail themA trainer named Zach Pello put this on his social media the other day, and it is a worthwhile visualization of weight loss. You could weigh in more than you did the week before, and still be heading the right direction.

So going the opposite route and asking a bunch of dudes if anyone here does yoga or has a full body stretching routine and if so... point me in the right direction.
That # on the scale is just a snap shot of the overall number, it doesn’t show much if what’s actually going on.I did my weekly weigh-in. Had a good week of eating and drinking water, did 3 workouts that week. What did I lose? 0.1 lbs.
