63. If You Can Walk, You Can Ruck, with Emily McCarthy of GORUCK

Rucking burns three times the number of calories as walking, on average. Do I have your attention now? According to today's guest, rucking (walking with weight), will be bigger than running.Emily McCarthy, co-founder and head of community at GORUCK, has a story to tell. She's a former Central Intelligence Agency case officer- her first assignment was to meet with Sudanese rebel leaders to discuss the Darfur Peace Agreement- who learned firsthand the importance of being physically and logistically prepared for ANY situation. She and her husband Jason, a former Green Beret, co-founded GORUCK with the vision to do just that: give people the gear and training to build strength and learn how to embrace the suck. *****LIMITED TIME OFFER!
