🔥 Phoenix Rising Weekly Announcements – Week of September 28th

Welcome to Week 1 of Rucktober! The season of weighted carries, outdoor miles, and building grit under the straps has officially arrived. If you missed it, check out the video I posted—this month is all about rucking, having fun outdoors, and pushing our endurance together.

It’s also the start of spooky season—Halloween is around the corner, and you know we’ll be having some fun with that before the month is out. 🎃

Quote of the Week:

“We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”— Jim Rohn

This month, choose your suffering wisely. Every mile, every carry, every rep of discipline now saves you from regret later.

🧠 Mindset Challenge of the Week

Embrace the Weight.

This week, lean into discomfort. Whether it’s adding weight to your ruck, taking the longer route, or tackling a workout you’ve been putting off—choose the challenge instead of the shortcut. Share your “embrace the weight” moment inside the community.

🔥 Rucktober Challenge

✅ Complete this week’s ruck challenge inside the Daily Challenges & Events Discussion Board

✅ Share your distance, route, or creative carry variation

✅ Post pics or updates—we want to see the weight you’re carrying

This month is about more than mileage. It’s about shouldering the load and proving you can carry more than you thought possible.

📊 Community Update

We’ll be rolling out new discussion boards soon to spark even more conversation—topics like stamina, strength, or HIIT. A poll will be posted soon so you can help us decide. Keep an eye out and make your voice heard!
