This Challenge is ideal for rosters new to PATHFINDER, rosters who have struggled in the past with consistent miles, and any roster looking to make a streak happen! Make your plan and get some consistency!
CHALLENGE PURPOSE
The PATHFINDER Move with a Purpose - Miles Challenge was designed to create more mileage consistency for rosters. The goal is simple: Have an unbroken streak of consecutive days rucking, no exceptions.It is important to plan this Challenge accordingly in case your streak is broken, as you may not have enough time to start over and complete it. In your program calendar, make sure you have planned and are prepared for this commitment, and have a plan B in mind if you are unable to complete this Challenge.
CHALLENGE PARAMETERS
- There is no timed pace requirement for this Challenge for any PATHFINDER programming. Make your decision based on your personal training needs. If you're training for a GORUCK Tough+, include ruck shuffling into your personal plan.
- All miles rucked count toward the program mileage requirement. Completing or attempting another Challenge with a rucking miles component counts towards consecutive days. - i.e. You've rucked nine consecutive days. On day 10 you complete the Beach Ruck Challenge, or attempt it and ruck at least one (1) continuous mile during the attempt. That effort counts as your tenth consecutive rucking day.
- Miles rucked during RUCK+ workouts do not count towards the Move with a Purpose Challenge unless a minimum of one (1) continuous mile is rucked.
CHALLENGE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS
- Minimum 1 continuous mile. (No maximum limit.)
CHALLENGE WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS
- There are no ruck weight requirements. However, you should use an appropriately weighted ruck for your programming and current fitness conditioning. We recommend most rosters begin at around 9-12 pounds/4-5.4 kg weight, and of course, the weight can go up significantly from there, based on personal experience, fitness level, and comfort.
CHALLENGE TIME REQUIREMENTS
- There are no time requirements for this Challenge.
