Talk & Ruck (Ashton)
Hi, My name is Gordon and I am the Captain of the Talk & Ruck Ashton group.
I’ve been a member of the Talk & Run Clifton group for a few years and have found it really useful for my mental health. I’ve recently got into rucking and have started this group to bring Talk Club and rucking together.
A ruck is just a walk at pace with a pack. Simple. But it builds strength, burns calories fast, and is easier on your knees than running. Rucks in your choice of weight will be provided courtesy of the Epic Ruck series from CrossFit Fort Ashton.
Please send the send the Captain a quick email to introduce yourself and book a space.
The sessions are free and it helps us to know how many people are coming.
