GORUCK 101

  So it’s your first event... My first event: April 8, 2017 Pittsburgh GORUCK Light  One thing that scares people about GORUCK is the unexpected, and while you can never really anticipate exactly what will happen at an event, here are some basic tips so you know the lingo and a general gist of what is going on... EVENT DYNAMICS •GORUCK is a team event. This means if you are a fitness all-star, you help those who are struggling. Grab the coupon from them, go at their pace for PT, even take their ruck if you have to. •That being said, on the flip side, this also means you should prepare adequately for an event so you can contribute to the team.  No one wants someone showing up for a Tough or a Heavy who has obviously not completed the proper training for said event. Don’t come into an event expecting the team to pick up your slack because it is a “team” event. Heavies, especially, have specific requirements. If you can’t fulfill those requirements in training, maybe you shouldn’t do that
