Who this rucking log is for

This log is for ruckers who walk with a weighted pack for fitness, adventure or training. It suits hikers preparing for long trips, people training for military or fitness tests and walkers who want a tougher workout without running. Rucking builds strength and endurance with very little equipment, but adding weight too quickly can lead to sore feet and backs. A clear log helps you increase load and distance gradually and enjoy the outdoors safely.

How to use your rucking log

Set goals, plan rucks, log each workout with weight, distance and time, record bests, build a library, save routes, check gear and review on the calendar. Write goals such as a distance, a pack weight or an event. Plan rucks for the week, mixing shorter heavier sessions with longer lighter ones. Log each ruck with pack weight, distance, time and terrain. Record personal bests. Keep a library of exercises to pair with rucking, such as lunges and step-ups. Save favorite routes with notes on hills and surfaces. Check your pack, footwear and hydration on the gear page, and review each month on the calendar.
