RuckApp vs Weightpace

This is a minimalist rucking app with the sole purpose of helping you track your rucking sessions. It has been simplified to focus on distance rucked and calories burned. The app uses a simplified U.S. Army Pandolf load-carriage equation that uses only body weight, ruck weight, distance, and walking speed to calculate calories burned. The app is private, with all data stored only on your device and never sent anywhere. You can erase your data with a single button in Settings. However, to track your distance, the app requires access to Location Services. For the app to work correctly, you must set location access to Always Allow so it can continue tracking your progress if it goes into the background, such as when you start a session and switch to your music app to select a song.

Whether you use a weighted vest, ruck pack, or other weighted wearables, Weightpace helps you measure your performance and track your progress over time. Enter the weight you carry, start moving, and see your distance, time, pace, steps, elevation gain, weight moved, and Weightpace in one place. WHAT IS WEIGHTPACE? Speed describes how fast you move. Pace describes how long each mile or kilometer takes. Weightpace accounts for the external load you carry. Load × Distance ÷ Time = Weightpace The result is shown as WP. TRACK YOUR ACTIVITIES Set your load and track distance, time, pace, steps, and elevation gain while WP is calculated in real time. See your weight moved, calculated as load multiplied by distance. BUILD YOUR BENCHMARK Use your first activity with added weight as a starting point, then follow changes in your performance over time. FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS Review saved activities, personal records, weekly performance, and your WP and pace records by weight. COMPLETE TRAINING PROGRAMS Choose a distance-based training program, complete each day, and track your program history. SHARE YOUR RESULTS Create share cards for activities, personal records, benchmarks, and completed programs. Choose a photo or take one directly in the app, then combine it with your stats to create a personalized performance card. USE YOUR PREFERRED UNITS Enter load in pounds or kilograms and view distance in miles or kilometers. Weightpace converts units before calculating WP. The same WP does not mean the same effort. Distance, duration, hills, and terrain affect an activity’s demands. Choose a load and activity appropriate for your experience and ability.
