Terrible time, and my hip flexors are smashed to bits today.

So how do I get better?

Should probably mention this was the first time I’ve ever tried rucking!

    If you want an out-of-the-box plan, I can vouch for Mountain Tactical’s stuff. They used to have OCR plans, I used one to prep for a goruck.

    Since you run halfs already, push your lacrosse ball into your piriformis until you reaches your soul, that’ll help the hips. You might also need to adjust your running gait for load carrying; you generally want to limit upper body movement to the extent you are able.

      Appreciate the advice, thank you. I’ve not been able to move much for the past two days! Training starts again tomorrow.
