GORUCK TRAINING COLLECTION

APPAREL - When it comes to apparel, the best performance apparel is NO performance apparel. The best performance fabric is no performance fabric (skies out, thighs out) - the second best is GORUCK, built from the ground up and proven by CrossFit Games® Champions and Special Forces.

SHOES - Choose Ballistic Trainers for a highly supportive, bombproof training shoe. These are our best sellers. Choose Rough Runners for the feeling of a running shoe, with the versatility to do all weighted movements, including carrying weight, rucking and lifting.

During the 2019 CrossFit Games® Dave Castro added rucking for the first time as an event. This led to two MAJOR changes at GORUCK:

(1) We changed the back panel of the Rucker and Ruck Plate Carrier to 210D CORDURA so they could be worn shirtless. 

This change was made because Haley Adams and other athletes who went shirtless got a ton of friction burn on their backs after running with their 1000D CORDURA Rucker 2.0.

(2) We designed the Rough Runners for a "niche" activity called RUCK RUNNING, thinking they would also lead to a versatile running shoe. 

Carrying additional weight on your back or on your body (muscle is heavy!) is the same net in terms of the load you're putting on your body; we wanted to make them ultra-supportive. 

The happy accident was discovering that RUCK RUNNING was in the middle of the concentric circles of performance.  Running is the other full circle (hence, rough RUNNERS) and as Tia has publicly stated, LIFTING heavy ass weight also works well.

Rucking is a dynamic and effective fitness activity that involves walking or hiking while carrying a weighted backpack or rucksack. It's more than just a stroll; it's a challenging workout that engages various muscle groups and offers a blend of cardiovascular endurance and strength training.
