As the seasons shift from sunny summer to chilly fall, it gets harder to stay motivated. The days get shorter, the rain gets colder, and the lure of holiday food is strong. That’s where goals come in.

In this episode of Just Ruck It, Lindsay shares why goal setting matters, how to build both big goals and micro-goals, and the many ways you can use your ruck as a full-body training tool. From the Great Range Athlete “Dismal Wilderness Challenge” to her own personal redemption goals, this episode will inspire you to set your own path before winter hibernation mode kicks in.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why seasonal changes make goals more important than ever.
• How “big goals” and “micro-goals” work together to keep momentum going.
• Creative ways to use your ruck beyond walking with weight — from squats and presses to front carries and burpee rucks.
• The role of accountability — whether from a team, a coach, or just your own calendar.
• The October Challenge: pick one big goal, one micro-goal, and set both a reward and a penalty.
