Original goal was 20k with 35lb dry weight. I ended up pushing 22.1k across LBL (Land Between the Lakes) National Park.
It feels great but damn I'm sore.

When I began, I thought motivation would carry me through. That wasn't enough. What really helped was making rucking part of my normal routine instead of treating it like a big workout. It slowly became something I looked forward to instead of something I had to force myself to do.
What made rucking become part of your routine?

So I’ve upped the weight and decided to push the pace up a bit. I’m struggling to keep in zone 2 for the duration of the ruck. I’m guessing I need to either push harder or up the weight more. Any suggestions are helpful.

PSA: Questions about rucks come up a lot. Goruck and WildGym both have sales going on.
Goruck's is until the end of the month, and WildGym is until they run out of inventory.
If you have been thinking about a new rucksack, this might be a good time to get a new one.

I'm trying to start a ruck march group on the MeetUp app. I've looked at Team RWB and a few other organizations but haven't seen anything around my area. So if you wanna get in shape or stay in shape, this could be a low-barrier-to-entry option. Strap a little weight to your back, or wear a weighted vest or no weight at all, and let's go for a walk of about 3-4 miles per hour. I will be bringing a small scale if anyone wants to confirm their bag/vest weight. The distances available are 2miles, 5 miles, or 7 miles. I'll be doing 7 miles, and everyone can join for as much as they want. The MeetUp link has the details about the route.
This is open to anyone and everyone, and it's free. My first attempt to do this as a group will be this Friday at 530 PM, and will probably be each Friday going forward, but I'm open to coordinating a different day if it's better for other people's schedules
I'm thinking about participating in Flyver, Nijmegen, Marsjmerket (Norwegian Foot March), Bataan Death March, or one of the other military awards that foreign militaries sponsor.
