Four Bricks: How the GORUCK Challenge taught me that I was capable of so much more than I ever thought was possible...
To say I was afraid would be an understatement, but perhaps that’s why I sought out the GoRuck Challenge in the first place. The GoRuck Challenge is a team based endurance event that is 10-12 hours long, covers 10-15 miles, and is led by U.S. Special Forces. I was carrying a backpack filled with four bricks wrapped in duct tape, and this challenge caused me to confront my fears and failures. I walked away from the GoRuck Challenge with the knowledge and confidence that I could do so much more that I ever thought was possible. This is my story of the GoRuck Challenge and the amazing team that I was a part of for this life changing event.

Informative and inspirational
I’ve recently became interested in GoRuck when a popular marathon opened up a rucking option. Interested in doing rucking the half I looked further into rucking and dove down the rabbit hole. With so many benefits and challenges for everyone, the more I learn the more I think rucking can help me get squared away. I really enjoyed this book. It helped me get a better grasp on what rucking is and what it can provide. Very motivating, I’m not sure I’ll be doing GRC anytime soon, but the miniature Cadre keeps getting louder with every pt session I do. I’m saving up for a really good ruck from GoRuck and in the meantime I do PT and some light weight rucking in with my pups.
If your interested in finding out more about rucking this book has a lot of great information and can help you grasp some of the concepts involved in rucking challenges, like “what the heck is a cadre?”. The author through his story even goes over some finer points on choosing gear. Five stars from me!

Great read for anyone interested in GRC
I really enjoyed this quick read about the author's firsthand experience in his 1st GoRuck Challenge. Great insight of what it is really all about.

This read like an extended blog post. He mostly details what happens during the Challenge. I'm not a big fan of giving all of the details of an event like GORUCK. Part of the experience is showing up and finding out for yourself. Having said that, he was very thorough on the details. His experience was similar to mine in a GRC.
