    I ran cross country in high school, and we regularly would run 10 miles, and then college happened and I had knee surgery... Now I could probably get in half a mile.

    20km with a 35 lb pack and rifle for a post wide competition. I just Googled it and its a fuzz under 12.5 miles.

    It was a "Run, Blast, and Shoot" competition. Your squad ran one leg and got to station #1. Everyone drew a weapon name out of a hat, sat in front of that weapon, field stripped it, reassembled it, function checked it, and once the last guy was done your squad could continue on. At Station #2 you drew a land mine name out of a hat, armed it, then made it safe. (Except the guy who drew the Claymore, he actually set his off). Ran to Station #3 which was the rifle range, dropped straight into a fox hole and fired 40 rounds. Misses counted against your time.

    My squad finished 2nd. We weren't the fastest, but we shot very well which pulled our score up.

    Ran a 3 mile race then ran (jogged) home with a world class tri-athlete for a 11.5 total once. Learned more on that run than any other. It was crawling for him. He just poured the info over me while keeping me going. If I ONLY ran my body (joints) would revolt, if my training also involved swimming and biking I seemed to do OK.

    5 miles, I run 4 miles a couple times a week but don't think I could ever get much higher than that, running a marathon might kill me.

    I ran.
    I didn't keep track of the distance but I ran so far away.
    I just ran.
    I ran all night and day.
    I couldn't get away. :twocents:

    How far I can run depends on how many steps it takes the person chasing me with a knife to bring me down. It won't be many. I can make it to the mailbox when I'm feelin' extra sporty, though.

    We would do 8 mile battalion run every other Friday. 25 miles road marches was always way worse for me than any run. I was usually humping a 23lbs m60..it sucked
