Challenge Purpose

This Challenge is for any roster looking to build consistency and momentum. Whether you're brand new to PATHFINDER, returning after a tough cycle, or ready to challenge yourself with a daily streak, this one’s for you.

The goal is simple:
Ruck at least one continuous mile per day, every day, without missing a single day.

Consistency is the heart of training. This Challenge helps you prove to yourself that you can show up, even when it's inconvenient, uncomfortable, or imperfect.

Challenge Requirements by Program

• Life:
  Ruck 1 mile per day for 10 consecutive days

• Forward:
  Ruck 1 mile per day for 15 consecutive days

• Endure:
  Ruck 1 mile per day for 20 consecutive days

  Ruck 1 mile per day for 30 consecutive days
  (Recommended for Stirling, Compete, Ocala & Horizon but not required)

Log your progress daily. Use the Notes section to write:
“X miles for Move with a Purpose - Miles.”

Challenge Parameters

• Minimum Distance: 1 continuous mile per day
  (No maximum. Go as far as your training calls for.)

• Weight: No required ruck weight
  Use a ruck weight appropriate for your current fitness level.
  Many rosters start around 9-12 lbs (4–5.5 kg) and adjust as needed.

• Pace: No time requirement
  If you’re training for a GORUCK Tough or higher, feel free to incorporate ruck shuffling or intervals.

Important Notes

• Plan Ahead:
  If your streak breaks, you'll need to start over and time may be limited. Build this Challenge into your training calendar early in your program cycle, and keep a backup plan in mind.

• RUCK+ Workouts:
  Miles rucked during a RUCK+ workout only count if you ruck at least one continuous mile.

• Overlap with Other Challenges is Approved:
  If you complete or attempt another ruck-based Challenge (e.g., Beach Ruck, Trail Time), and ruck at least one continuous mile during that effort, it counts toward your streak day.

Roster Tips for Success

• Start Early: Give yourself time in case you need to restart due to illness, travel, or missed days.

• Stack Smart: Pair this Challenge with your regular mileage or another Challenge that includes a ruck.

• Track it Visually: Use a calendar, whiteboard, or app to mark off each successful day. It builds momentum.

• Make it Non-Negotiable: Set your mile as the minimum win of the day. Even when you're tired or busy, you can always find time for one mile.
