Definitely read that article that Anna C linked above.What is rucking out of interest?
I wear a weighted vest. If I have a run planned and I'm fatigued, or I want to switch it up, I'll throw on the vest and walk for 30-60 mins. Hills are great if that's possible. My HR averages at least 15 bpm slower for a weighted ruck vs. an MAF run, so it's a nice active recovery with some loaded added. During the winter I'll ruck on my treadmill and keep the incline between 5-10%, that keeps the HR elevated nicely so you're getting some work in, but still in a nice aerobic zone.
