Mike – On your podcast, I heard you talking about the benefits of rucking. You said, “I’d probably weigh 230lbs if I didn’t walk 8 miles a day with 65lbs on my back.” With great respect, are you exaggerating? Maybe just a little bit? I hate to call bullshit, but I’m half your age and in the best shape of my life. I ruck three times a week, usually 4 miles with thirty pounds – and it absolutely kicks my ass. Hard to believe a man of your…experience, is walking twice as far with double the weight. But if you are, good on ya!

Hi Jack
I saw your question last night, and thought of you this morning, when I was embracing my daily dose of self-inflicted discomfort. Obviously, I can’t prove anything I say, or expect you or anyone to take my claims at face value. Nevertheless, my honest answer is attached…
