I'm walking 2 hrs a day 6 days a week with 40 lbs...71 yrs old. Would love to run, but knee replacement. My only problem is losing too much weight.
Eat more
Much respect
@@luizantonio3420 Mind blown. I bet he hadn't thought of that, I know I hadn't. Are you here all week?
Eat more. Dont neglect your diet, it'll compound any issues in exercise.
What a great way to exercise. Low impact, but high intensity. Fantastic work John.
23, Getting ready to enlist into the Air Force Security Forces, with the driven goal to become an Air Force SRT to follow the path of close relatives that I look up to. Recently stumbled upon a few of your videos and they've been super informative to us who need access before diving head first into a new life changing career path. Respect your service friend
Scaling the distance to 50% is really great advice. I’ll apply that approach because right now I just walk with my plate carrier but I’ve wanted to put in some running miles with it just didn’t know the best way to go about it. Good stuff.
Glad the info is useful!! Get after it! 💪
I’m 62, marine 78-87, I’ve been running with a 20# vest for about four years. I ran a 60k (37.2 miles) on my 60th birthday day to raise money for veterans. I would recommend starting with one mile and building from there.
Love your content!
Thank you for your service 🙏
Hi, I consider myself a decent casual runner (15ks a session no problem uphill down hill). Never ran with weight, heard that it causes long term knee damage later down the road, what are your thoughts on that? Thanks
@@svoidsIncreases bone density, strengthens connective tissue and joints, obviously bro has been able to sustain this for a while and all the more power to him. Just takes careful planning and effective recovery.
Thank you for your service!!!! ... At 62 y/o.... or any age for that matter.... running a 60K with a 20lb vest is freaking awesome! Congrats!!!
@@svoids I’ve been running off and on for over 40 years, consistently for 30 years, running in the weighted vest the past 5 years. No knee or back problems. There is no medical evidence for running and knee problems, that stemmed from opinion. Usually opinions from people who don’t run. The latest studies show people who run have better joints than those that don’t, especially as we age. Do your own research, develop your own opinions, not someone’s who aren’t in the arena. Highly recommend the vest! I started with 12 lbs, worked up to 50lbs, settled with 20 lbs. That’s what optimal for me. Find what works best for you. Don’t be afraid to push yourself
i recently started running with a plate carrier...eye opening experience. make you really pay attention to your running form and your body will pay for any sloppiness. btw love the trails in NC, was passing through on a trip and its so nice in the fall.
I run all my miles with the vest the most so far been 13.4 miles in 2:48.32
3weeks ago I did 8 with my PC, shirtless. DO NOT DO THIS! I'm currently undergoing nipple replacement therapy.
Holy shit 😂 sorry to laugh but damn
They used to make small bandaids for nipples, for real...also vaseline jelly.
😂😂
How did that shower water feel? 🔥
Winter soldier on the white stitching
my routine is deadlift my max and plate carrier run 2 days later
Been following your channel for short time only, but I want to say that I truly enjoy all that you are sharing. Also, I'm a new big fan of your Gritty Soldier products. By the way what ear product are you using on this run?
Hey Gritty Soldier, please make a review on that GoRuck vest that you received! Thank you! -Jared.
👍
Please do a review on go ruck weight vest!
@GrittySoldier Im not at the level of running yet. Trying to get into shape, what are your thoughts on using this plated vest for walking until one is strong enough to run? Asking for people that are starting to exercise after sitting around doing nothing for years 😅
Someone was a Winter Ranger. RLTW.
Where can I get a weight vest
What brand is your kit? Looking for some advice.

Dude I’m sorry, I just finished the vid and saw you literally named it in the vid.
Your comment that one will increase muscle mass by running with a vest is not entirely accurate. The muscle mass increase by running with a weighted vest will be negligible. It is more effective for metabolic conditioning.
I enjoy using my 20lb weighted vest to walk for my active recovery days. I also mix my training up to do a fast 1 mile and stop and do 25 pushups and 30 air squats. I will do 4 sets of this. I have also done like a 2 mile weighted run and then drop the vest and run another 2 mile run without weight. Just stay active and remember to rest and stretch.
Highly suggest walking backwards for 5-10 mins before running. Trust me! Do not neglect your forward muscles
Winter Ranger.
As someone well into my 40’s weights and weighted carries like farmers walks, ruck marches and PC runs are good, they help keep the muscles and bones strong and healthy. Stronger muscles and connected tissue as far as my knowledge and I have read in the literature will keep your joints healthier and build ‘armour’ around the joints.
I should have a Gritty Tab (for my PC) and Gritty Soldier T getting delivered down here this week.
At 67+ and 5'11 and 205 Rucking is for me. Bottom line Rucking burns more calories and helps build muscle
I’m an Ironworker and have started implementing the 30lb GoRuck in most of my training now. Love it, still do barbell training but starting to get into the functional side of training. I just feel better overall. Thanks for the videos
Recently got familiar of what happens when you don’t train with a plate carrier when I had to perform with one on. Eye opening cardio experience.
It's amazing what a few extra lbs and some discomfort do .
My Son's in Military school and showed me your channel.
That's why I bought a weight vest with up to 30 kilograms of weight.
In the weekends we're marching and speedmarching together, I'm 50 years old right now.
It's amazing which I didn't think it would be because of a knee operation in the past.
The running part I do is not like normal running but it's a bit modified with smaller steps......
By doing it the right right way you minimize the impact on the knees.
This week I managed to get an alice Lc-2 US backpack for 25 euro's which I take with me on my truck during the weeks.
Must say it's not the most comfortable thing, but maybe it's because I'm not used to it.
Thank you very much for your motivational channel.
Greetings from Fryslân (The Netherlands)
Always warm up (as you would in a crossfit workout) before you go running weighted, especially if you are new to it and/or older/fighting injuries and requiring longer warm up times.
Just started running with a plate carrier trying to improve my time before I ship out to basic. Crazy coincidence you post a video like this I’ve been wondering about the positive effects lol.
🤜 🤛
Please do a review with that goruck plate carrier. It's a tiny bit cheaper than the 5.11 you've got and have been on the fence for months.
Ok too easy I got you 👍
I’ve had the 5.11 for 5 years and it is bullet proof and I love it. I looked at a few and the others seem to be on the flimsy side.
I'm worried that I would look like a wanker.
Well… don’t lol. Who cares what people think?
Great video! I would love to see a video covering the standing power throw again. Preferably a before and after showing how specific exercises can actually help improve your SPT score. Great video once again!
16:29: Does a "10-pound plate carrier" mean 5 pounds in the front and 5 pounds on the back, or does it mean a 10 pound plate in the front of the carrier?
Yep 👍 5 in front, 5 in back
LOL. Non-runners are always blasting runners. "You'll regret it when your 50." They don't say. Funny. Been running with weight for well over a decade - oh, and I'm over 50. Great video. Peace.
Awsome video and facts. Those nay sayers are the ones who don't know how to train properly with added weight.
💪 love this comment
As an infantryman it's part of our job to move under weight, that's why we train to standard not time. Little bit of work goes a long way.
Great video. Love running with my vest, plus rucking .. and of course push, pull and jump with it. Clearly and concisely put … thanks
Helll yeahh I run ever day with my vest on 20lb I do my 4/6/8/10/13 miles with my vest every day I get up and run in 5:45 am got to get it
Hers the thing. We expect to much out of our bodies. We should warm up stretch out and not go too heavy like he said. Take your time to build the endurance. You are going to eventually breakdown no matter what one day..
Yeah I got the GoRuck vest with 2x10lbs plates. Super comfy
I’d enjoy a short review of the Go Ruck vest as it compares to the 5.11. Thanks GS been watching a long time and just got the App, great training tips!
10 miles in a vest and not sweating???? Boss move
I absolutely love running in my weighted vest. I saw a ton of improvements this year whilst wearing it. I have a 10kg weighted vest & this year I have achieved loads wearing mine. In February I ran a 70km Ultramarathon in the Brecon Beacons 🏴 & then I went on to complete all of the Ironman races in the UK 🇬🇧 & Ireland 🇮🇪 The toughest conditions by far were the heat. Dealing with heat stroke was a real challenge at Ironman Wales 🔥
Well done Coach 🤙🏼
What kind of cummerbund is best with Plate Carrier for running with steel plates? Elastic ones would seem like best choice, but yours seems to have "rigid" cummerbund with PALS channels?
I started the weight vest journey years ago, my studies has shown that implementing more hamstrings and glute bridge workout's with your weight vest evolution is ideal. I'm now up to 60lb, In the interim of things if you want to be a LEGEND buy a weight vest!!!!
Perfect timing just before Thanksgiving and Murph workouts, happy holidays friends!
Need the goruck vest review.
I’ll get it done! 💪
I've been trying to get my run down to a 8 minute mile. I thought about doing a pro-mask run but I'm not sure the benefits, if any, for running with one. Do you have any suggestions? I'm currently training with 60/120s right now.
P/c running 😉 Also, longer distance running. You should be running most of your runs for distance rather than time, with a speed-focused workout only maybe once a week.
Mopp gear run is crazy
What should be the frequency of the runs with a weighted vest? 2-3 times a week or daily?
Running with a weighted vest reminds me of when I started running and was overweight by about 20 pounds.
Winter Ranger
👊
I don’t know about long term. I’ve been consistently run in a 20# vest for the last 5 years. Doing anywhere between 10-30 mile runs on long days. No knee pain at all.
I am currently at waiting to start a marathon this morning. With 20# vest.
If there’s pain analyze it and see if the weight invested because. If you’re pain-free continue to run with it the benefits are amazing.
When implementing this into regiment how far and often (per week) would you recommend?
Just bought this vest and it’s been a game changer. Use it on my trail runs great workout
Great for strength and stabilizers. Also good if you don’t have time for a long regular run. Go do a plate carrier 5k.
My plate carrier gives me some serious issues sometimes when it comes to compression with my chest.In the long run my breathing becomes difficult.
Might be a bit to tight, or maybe try another variant. I’ll say than running with a p/c will never be as comfortable as running without one, but try to mitigate discomfort as much as possible.
I would think, it's supposed to.
I know some fellas from work that run elastic cummerbunds, might be worth looking into
Your a crazed up dude, and i like it! Thanks for the content mate!
I'm in my 50's and I run wearing the 5:11 vest with two 4.5kg plates in. So with the vest I'm looking at 10kg vest. I run not faster than 7kmh and that helps me maintain good form. This is why I can do a sub 30 minute 5km run without the vest and still able to breath at the end. But I dont run with it every day but I do it once a week. But i have the grey colour so I dont look like im about to storm the beaches of normandy.
Why not just run faster?
Ahhhhh I remember duck doughnuts, they are so delicious
🍩
What does the white stitching represent?
Pain sold separately! 😂 just kidding.
Hopefully good pain 😉
Thanks for making this video. I was looking for a vest to run in and earn gains. Your break down from vest fitting, appropriate weight plate, and shoes was great. Thanks again!
Enjoyed the video. I would definitely be interested in seeing the review of the GoRuck weighted vest.
Don’t you feel the lower back hurt during this run?
If he's ever run into low back pain issues with running, he'll probably have a response about what's worked for him. I've definitely had that problem in the past, and what really helped was stretching my ileopsoas and sartorius muscles (front facing leg muscles that connect to your hips and might make your plevis tilt forward if they're tight), as well as keeping my abdominal wall and obliques strong. Doing that took a lot of tension away from my lower back because it didn't have to work so hard to compensate for balance.
My Battalion Commander was an SF Iron Major. He saw me running with leg weights and told me it would ruin my knees. I was tweenty something and thought it was BS. Fast forward thirty years and I have bone on bone contact. Running with a. 35# ruck on the down hills and the running volume to keep up with my peers in Infantry and Special Operations. Keep running with weight vest and you will join me in the elite 100% VA disability club.
are people really this ignorant? running with a weight vest does not make you a better runner😂😂
🤨 how about something to back up your statement?
Oooof, the nay-sayers. What sucks is that they're not entirely wrong. You definitely touched on how to avoid hurting the knees. I've been running for years (my most intense years were in university when I was running cross-country and track & field), as well as weight lifting. I haven't experienced any major joint issues (knock on wood) yet, and it's thanks to exercising with proper form and technique, along with warming up and stretching afterwards.
Can you share some of your favorite running trails around Fort liberty? Thank you!
Yeah that’s a good idea!
As for the people saying it's going to damage your knees...
Remember all the idiots who used to say squatting below parallel would damage your knees 😆 Heavy squats and deadlifts are what have kept me injury free at 48 years old.
White stitching/winter ranger ❄️🥶
🤜 🤛
So if you get your tab during winter season, correct?
🙌🏾Hey everyone, for those of you looking to improve your running, we're all in this together! Remember to focus on your running posture when you start out wearing a weighted vest during your training sessions, and try to maintain a consistent and comfortable pace. I'm currently using the same vest as someone else, and it's important to choose good shoes for your runs the creator of this vid is correct. Also, consider wearing a comfortable shirt to prevent the vest from rubbing against your skin and causing irritation. Start with shorter runs and gradually increase your distance as you get more comfortable. Good luck, and have fun with your training!
I love to run and hike with my PC. I have mine set up at 7kg/15.5 lbs with my camelbak armorbak attached. I can then add water to add extra weight when needed up to a maximum total of 10kg/22lbs. If I feel like I need to lose some weight, I can always offload some water. It works out really well.
That's Bragg 😂
Not rocket science. I’ve added this to my marathon training and I’m obsessed. If my marathon max effort is around 3:30:00 adding 5-10 pounds for a 3 hour jog builds tremendous endurance and strength. The term is perceived effort. It’s hard to get max effort while sprinting. It isn’t sustainable. Where as my last run of 25 pounds for 3.26 miles 8:14 pace….. that was death. My max effort 3.21 mile run prior was 6:48 pace. I’ll tag this comment and let you know what my knew 5k time is in a few weeks
I been training for a 5k im about to run, my normal time is 24minutes with some jogging, I know i can do better, im 6.2feet tall, got long legs, I recently found a weighted vest, do you recommend this as to train to last a 3 miles and run it fsaster? or is it mostly to build mustle and speed
Brother totally love your thoughts and thanks for the inspiration. I’m Indian by heritage but kiwi by choice/privilege who started exercising properly in my early 30s, it’s now been 8 years I’ve been regularly exercising and rucking / weighted vest running is an integral part of my workouts at least once a week. I look forward to my 3 hour weighted vest runs each week. Thank you again brother. Would be great to know what vest brand are you using, I’ll see if I can buy it here in Australia.
I weigh 130lb and I'm 18 and ran with 45 pounds. I managed to run 3 miles in 40 mins is this a good time
20lbs? Why not the full 35lbs like an actual kit with plates
Bones protect your organs, muscles protect your bones. You have weak joints because you don't have the muscle to support them. Never stop lifting
How do I avoid blowing out my knees/fucking my feet? I tried to di a long distance run a couple years ago and my foot was jacked up for almost a year. I havent tried running since because it was debilitating.
Where did you get your plates from n your carrier from?
I use my issued plates, GoRuck, and Rogue plates.
Almost 100k!
What kind of plate carrier is that? And can weight go up to 40 lb
The tac tec plate carrier is not designed for workouts its a plate carrier for law enforcement work etc they make a weighted vest plate carrier either with sand or training weight plates which is what I use. Also I would imagine running with weight burns more calories i try to do all my runs with my vest. Also what do you do for recovery? Regular massage? Chiropractor?
I do about 10 15 miles a week with my vest
I tried with a weighted backpack. Definitely not working so I'm gonna try the weighted vest instead
Is there really much benefit to having a vest vs a backpack? I find the vests to be very expensive and not sure it's worth it....?
Do you have any tips for calves that is the only thing holding me back on my rucks and runs they either cramp or are in extreme pain my cardio is great though I run sub 13 min 2 miles sub 37 min 5 miles with decent ease
I think they tab with the white stitching means you went to ranger school and passed. Idk maybe I’m wrong.
Great video!
I may have missed it but where are you running? Looks like a wonderful trail
Chairborne ranger running around a homicide bomber vest lololololol
Take it easy on the caffeine whenever doing cardio but especially starting out with added weight
Winter Ranger 👍

@@GrittySoldier Froze my ass off in the Dahlonega.
@@Nobody13325 dude, me too 🥶
I’ve been running with a vest for about 2 years, and I 100% agree that it builds serious strength in the legs. I went a few months without a vest but continued running, only using it about 15 times a year. I normally try to achieve the same distance with a vest, but I’ll take some of your advice and perhaps reduce the distance by 50% of the regular run. I have never sustained any injuries wearing it, but keep in mind to always try running on trails with it. It’s important to keep a tight fit,if it gets loose, it can start to irritate the back, but overall, I’d say it has increased my back and leg strength significantly and has also improved my endurance. Have the same plate carrier (511, approximately 20 lbs).
Any chance of finding a plate carrier under $100? 😅
How can I get that color you have? I don’t like the kangaroo color
What kind of Boot Laces do you use? I know you use sneaker laces, I just want to make sure I get the correct laces.
What kind of plate carrier is that? I want one
I start with 40 pound weight vest on concrete
I could of used all this info when I was with the Airborne. 😂 Just got the App, I will say its freaking awesome, and thank you for the info on the plate carrier, was not sure wich one to get. Thank you.
Glad to have you on there man!
Don't the extra weight hurt your knees
Just got my 10lb vest and ran 2.5 miles (slowly) yesterday to see how it felt. Went well. I focused on form and used my HR monitor to keep from red lining. Glad this channel inspired me to get one!
Me too! 🤜 🤛
Good advice good advice.
BTW love the videos
🙏
