In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the most overlooked tools for becoming a stronger, more consistent rucker: tracking your rucks.

Here’s the deal: what gets measured gets managed. Without tracking, it’s nearly impossible to know if you’re improving, where you’re falling short, or when you’re pushing too hard. But once you start logging your rucks, you unlock a powerful feedback loop that keeps you motivated, prevents injuries, and makes progress crystal clear.

You’ll learn:

• Why tracking is the ultimate momentum builder for your rucking routine
• The exact data points to track
• How tracking helps prevent plateaus, burnout, and injuries
• Simple tools (from old-school notebooks to apps) that make ruck logging easy
• How to actually use your data to make better training decisions

I’ll also share a personal story about my cholesterol journey — and how tracking plus action led to a real transformation. Just like with health, your rucking results won’t change by accident. Progress happens when you track honestly, review your data, and make decisions that keep you moving forward.

If you’ve ever wondered “Do I really need to track my rucks?” this episode will give you the why, the how, and the payoff you’ve been missing.

If you’re tracking your rucks already, I’d love to hear how you’re doing it. Send me a message or drop a comment on Instagram @theruckersedgepod.
