    Yeah, I did a few Paras 10 races a few years ago, with weight - nowhere near that fit now, though and unfortunately some sciatic nerve issues lead me to believe it may not be a smart idea

    I definitely intend to try and get to that point again, though - the problem is the sheer amount of time dedicated to training. Used to take me about 2 hours to cover 10 miles with boots and pack, then however long either side to get ready/shower etc and then finally I'd be screwed the rest of the day too! So wrote off an afternoon, basically.
    5 miles an hour is pretty quick....

    On the event I'm doing you have to maintain 3km/hr which is pretty slow.

      Is that the walking speed limit above which they review your PIP?

          He'll need to run this through his multi-objective benefits optimisation spreadsheet once scootie has updated the macros.

              Ah, that's fairly relaxed - I presume thats overall including some breaks?

                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
