In this episode of The Rucker’s Edge Podcast, I sit down with Giovanni Svette, a CrossFit athlete who has made the leap to competitive rucking — and is now heading to the Ruck Race League Finals.

We talk about how his rucking training evolved from moderate miles to structured event prep, and how he dug deep and used familiar terrain and a determined mindset to win the “Stairway to Heaven” event — climbing over 5,000 feet of elevation with 10% bodyweight in just two hours.

He also opens up about dealing with back pain, how he discovered rucking, and how he is preparing for the Ruck Race League finals in November.
