the best data i could find was um rocket you know we're looking at military personnel rucking uh it says 50 pounds there i do use about 60 pounds or 55 to 60 pounds so you can get a sense of if you're at zero percent uh grade it's 4.8 mats if you're at 5 grade 7.5 if you're a 10 grade 10 mets when i kind of look at my heart rate data when i do it plus the elevation change i think i'm probably averaging 6.5 mets i do three usually closer to four hours per week so maybe that's a bit of a conservative estimate of you know call it 20 met hours per week
