In this episode of The Rucker’s Edge, I break down why reflective rucks matter, what a reflective ruck is, and how to use rucking as a tool for clarity, alignment, and intentional direction, especially during transitions like the end of a year or a birthday.

You’ll learn:

• What separates a reflective ruck from a routine training ruck
• Why reflection turns experience into useful information
• How reflective rucks help you catch misalignment early—before burnout or regret
• The ideal weight, duration, and environment for a reflective ruck
• Whether your thoughts should be guided or free-flowing
• The six life areas to focus on during a reflective ruck
• What to do after the ruck to actually create change

This episode isn’t about judging yourself or fixing what’s broken. It’s about resetting your intentions and steering your life to where you want it to go.
