What people can do is their jogging shorts has no comparison to what soldiers have to do. I ran a 5:15 mile indoors and averaged 6 min/mile cross country.

As I said, the numbers I gave were based on my experience in the infantry and airborne while carrying fighting order (which weighs in excess of 30lbs without body armor). The RTW inf numbers are not even close to realism. 4 mph for a march speed down a road is 'movin' (but do-able) for around 8-10 hours.
