The guys in 'Excalibur' were in real 13-15th century armour so it isn't total fiction. The stuff was real and they were actors who had to work out alot to make the movie and actually pulled it off. Fictional movie, yes. Armour real, yes. Get my point! The premise was fake. The action was real(them in armour, going through the motions, axe and sword blades it hitting the armour were blunt, essentially crowbars, these guys got hurt making the movie!). I met some of the guys(Patrick Stewart, Nigel Terry, Nigel Bruce) from that movie.
For those whom are doubters read about the battles of Crecy, Agincourt and Poitiers! Agincourt was a running battle that took place over a wide expanse of territory. Adherbal says it right!
sunsmountain; imagine if you had to carry 29 kgs of weight and had been doing it for 10-20 years at the age of 34. I am 34 and go camping at times with 20-30kgs of weight and run trails to make. I carried up to 32 kgs(dead weight; 6months training) in the US Navy and could run, Commonwealth SAS often have more, jogging sometimes 5 miles and sometimes having to go up hill. Its not impossible.
