Started on Audible today. Planning to add more rucking to my training. I really need to build strength and endurance for a September Inca Trail hike. The scariest part is the elevation, and endurance training is non negotiable.
Heard ya on Ginny’s podcast 🥰 it’s exciting when two people you look up to are on a podcast together!!! Go Michae! I also can’t wait until your other book comes out!!
Looking forward to the book. I already preordered it!
I’ve been rucking roughly once weekly for 4 years after I read the comfort crisis at ~20% body weight. Maybe this covered in the book, but I’m interested to know your thoughts on continuing to incorporate rucking into my other training, not making it the center of my training. I ski in the back country or skate ski 3-4 days a week in the winter and run 30-50 miles a week in the summer. My goals every year are always big multi day adventures on skis, bike or feet. Is one 5ish mile ruck a week at 9-11 minute miles enough to reap benefits?
Congrats on the third book! I own all of them and have recommended Comfort Crisis to at least 20 people. Keep up the great work.
I recently listened to the your Rich Roll episode and have passed it on to several students, clients and friends. I do have a question about the study you reference regarding rucking in minimal/barefoot shoes. Did the study specify whether the test subjects went from wearing high stack height cushy shoes with a 12mm drop to barefoot shoes for the study or where the test subjects already familiar with wearing barefoot style shoes?? I feel that would be a major factor in the study outcomes.
I ask because I have been wearing minimal/barefoot shoes for at least 10 years - walking, trail running, hiking, carrying a heavy climbing back to the crag and in my everyday travels. I would appreciate your feedback.
I have a question regarding the go getter plan. I have been rucking on the trails 2-3 times a week for one hour wearing 35-40 lbs. you recommend that we increase our walking times in 5 to 10 minute increments. However, the go-getter plan increases from one hour to two hours of walking with weight on day six. Should I reduce my pack to say 25 pounds for this two hour walk?
I’m sure this will be great. I love your concept of supermedium. I’ve started a habit of going for a “pruck” which is a reflective practice to pray for others, listen to the Bible, and reflect each morning.
Congratulations Michael!!! Can’t wait to read it!
Thank you!

Enjoying it! Really appreciate how practical it is!
I just got my preordered copy in the mail! Started reading this afternoon and I’m into chapter 3 already.
Will it be possible to get a signed copy for 2% members?
