RUCKING
I supply all backpacks and weights for different levels of fitness. The day of the Tough Ruck should not be the first time you wear your footwear on a ruck! Ideally you will wear your footwear for most, if not all, of your training rucks. Choosing the right footwear can make or break your Tough Ruck. Footwear that best meet your needs, common choices are lightweight hiking boots, trail runners, or cross trainers. The most important factor is comfort and durability: you don’t want uncomfortable shoes or shoes that will fall apart.

The word "rucking" originates from the military term for a backpack, which is known as a "rucksack." Rucking involves walking, often at a quicker pace, while carrying a weighted backpack. Athletes typically carry weight plates. Some athletes start out carrying a load as light as five pounds, and many work up to 35-to-45 pounds, sometimes even more in military training, Advanced athletes can incorporate more intense movements, like pushups and lunges, into their rucks.

Rucking can be great for people who "might not want to participate in running for whatever reason" but want to do a "bit more of an intense workout than just walking." By increasing your speed or weights, you can make the workout more challenging.
