Building Better Humans, One Mile at a Time.
Rucking Calculator was built to help you track your progress, build endurance, and master the simple yet powerful art of rucking.
Whether you are training for military service, looking for a low-impact way to burn calories, or simply want to get more out of your daily dog walk, we are here to provide the tools and knowledge you need.
Why Rucking?
Rucking—walking with a weighted pack—is the foundation of military fitness for a reason. It bridges the gap between running and walking. It builds functional strength in your back, legs, and core without the high impact force of running on pavement.
Our Methodology
Technique
We prioritize posture and mechanics. Rucking is not just about carrying weight; it's about carrying it correctly to avoid injury and maximize benefit.
Progression
Start light. Go slow. We provide frameworks for everyone from the absolute beginner (10 lbs) to the "Beast" tier athlete (45+ lbs).
Gear Selection
You don't need a $300 pack to start, but the right gear helps. We review and recommend equipment based on your specific comfort level and goals.
Data Driven
Our calculator uses the Pandolf Equation—the gold standard for load carriage energy expenditure—so you can trust your numbers.
As we grow, we will be expanding our guides to cover specific training plans, boot reviews, and nutrition tips for endurance athletes.
