Fit and Fearless Pre-test and Post-test
Thanks Coach re checking out the Go Ruck stuff – JK
Yes, thank you for looking into that…the more I research it the more vague it becomes. It seems as though they want it that way as it’s more of a mental challenge and they are trying to increase anxiety post race. It does look like teams are encouraged and they do have CFDM listed as a recommended training site!
pre race not post
I saw that CFDM and Spartan are the only teams currently registered – did you sign up? I want to give this a try and even think i will start some limited training with weighted ruck – anyone else in? JK
Not signed up, waiting for someone to commit with me and definitely would train with you for it!
