I’ll start with the Moleskin – As we finished our workout, I noticed a man walking his dog with a ruck on. I’ve seen this many several times over the past few years. He is out there every morning with his ruck and two dogs. Heisenberg and I stopped him to ask him how much weight was in his ruck. He proceeded to tell us of the wonders of “ruck marching”. He’s been doing if for the past 30 years at the suggestion of the Saints team doctor at the time. He says he carries 23 pounds and walks 3 miles every day. He wears the ruck low so that it is uncomfortable (also the Dr.’s suggestion). He says this makes him work harder. He is now 67 and is in excellent health. He doesn’t take any of the medications his friends take and unlike the rest of his family, he has never had back problems. In fact, he said his current doctor remarked on the strength of his back muscles, wanting to know what type of exercises he does. It was an inspiring discussion. As Heisenberg remarked, this is a guy that has been taking the DRP for 30 straight years. Every morning, he gets up and rucks 3 miles, even on the holidays like today. The DRP has benefits. GRT Baby!
