Our Story
AdventureRuck was born from a passion for the transformative power of rucking. What started as a personal journey has evolved into a mission to build the most comprehensive resource for the rucking community.
My name is Steve, and I discovered rucking through friends who introduced me to the sport years ago. After experiencing the unique physical and mental challenges that rucking provided, I was hooked. What began as a way to improve my fitness became a passion that I wanted to share with others seeking effective, functional training methods.
In creating AdventureRuck, I sought to build the resource I wished I had when I first explored rucking – a place that combines practical knowledge, community connection, and expert insights into this uniquely beneficial activity.
Our Approach
At AdventureRuck, we believe that:
- Accessible Excellence – Rucking should be approachable for beginners while offering progressive challenges for veterans
- Evidence-Based Information – Our recommendations come from research, expert consultation, and extensive personal testing
- Community Integration – The rucking journey is better when shared with others who understand its challenges and rewards
- Practical Application – Training should translate to real-world capability, whether for fitness, recreation, or preparation
- Continuous Learning – The science of performance and recovery evolves, and so does our approach to rucking
Credentials & Experience
