Tough ruck to fast ruck

This was weird. Left calf just would not loosen up for about 45 min. The pace was solid but it kept tightening up and I had to stop to stretch and shake it loose. Didn't look good for the rest of the ruck but then at 45 min it just released and the next 1:15 was FAST!

Like I said, weird. Everything else felt very good. No real soreness or fatigue from yesterday. Going to have to do some 100 ups prior to the ruck to get the blood flowing sooner. I think going from nothing to the 50 lb pack is the culprit. think I have to warmup with bodyweight first

50 lb ruck
12 laps
1:55 min ( would have been a lot faster if I didn't waste so much time the first hour)
11 iso squats
last  lap : 7:19  faded last 1/4 lap! should have been 7:10

BW 169.4
BF 11.7
W 57.1

repeating last weeks 170 hopefully much easier this time

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
