Rucking for beginners

Beginner guide to rucking: weight, pace, distance and the mistakes to avoid when you start.

The best start is boring in a good way: light weight, short walks and a backpack that sits close enough not to bounce.

Pack 5-10% of your bodyweight and walk 20-30 minutes on flat ground.

Build distance before weight. When the walks feel easy, add a little more load.
