EvilBlackGun,
Good on ya for humping a ruck at 73. You are an inspiration.
My ruck weighs in around 45 pounds. Thats with water. Not too much heavy stuff in there. I keep fighting loads to my 1st or 2nd line gear. I can cover 10 miles in 3 hours at a solid, 15 minute per mile pace w/ breaks for water, foot checks etc. At 20 miles a day, my performance will degrade, but I can plough on. I've done 21 miles in 7 hours before with my BoB and an AK.
