I did the training today, as an experiment, I used 45lbs(dry) and only did two sets( 10min @ 40%-50% then 10min @ 80%-90%). I understand that maybe I could extend my intensity time to 15min and maintain the 10min of rest. I'm trying to do baby steps here.

If you are running with a rucksack on your back, stop...use interval training to increase your running speed....ruck to improve your rucking ability...running with a rucksack isn't very good for your knees and back...speaking from my personal knowledge and experience...
