Weighted rucking engages smaller stabilizing muscles and can lead to feeling faster and lighter when running subsequently.

“I find that um it forces me to pay attention to some of the smaller stabilizing muscles like you can't be as loose with your gate. You have to be pretty thoughtful especially if you're hiking. Um, you can't stride too long here or there. You just naturally keeps you moving more like a a packed mule. Uh which I think can be helpful. Um, and I do notice that when I take off the rucks sack or the vest um, on a different day and I and I run, I definitely feel faster and lighter just by way of comparison.”
