Short month, focused work. Here is what is new on Ruckfecta in May 2026. The blog The post you are reading is the headline change. We now have a public blog at /blog where the team will publish training plans, scoring explainers, community stories, event recaps, and short changelogs like this one. The blog ships with an RSS feed at /blog/rss.xml for anyone who follows along in a feed reader. If you want a topic covered, write to support@ruckfecta.com . Better SEO across the site We rewrote the per-route SEO middleware to give every public URL its own title, description, canonical, and Open Graph tags, including a body prerender so non-JS crawlers see real headings and copy instead of an empty SPA shell. This should slowly improve how Ruckfecta surfaces in search and previews on social. The marketing pages — home , pricing , score calculator , help , challenges — all benefit. Quality-of-life A grab bag of smaller improvements that landed during the month: Faster dashboard load on first paint for users with long workout histories. Improved Garmin sync resilience around timezones and altitude data. New leaderboard filter for state and region, in addition to the existing country filter. Cleaner notifications panel, with grouping for chapter and team events. What is next In June we are focused on three things: Shipping a redesigned monthly recap email that summarizes your distance, elevation, score deltas, and rank movement. More content on the blog — a beginner training plan, a deeper post on relative load, and the first chapter spotlights. Quietly improving how we handle small-N percentile volatility so leaderboard ranks settle faster for new cohorts. Thanks for rucking with us.
