I saw it on the video I posted about getting into the Australian special forces, and one of their tests was to walk 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) in 3 hours 15 minutes.... They had to do it with a 30 pound or 30 kg pack on, but i'm considering attempting it minus the pack...

Just wondering if you guys have ever actually timed yourself over a mile or two or whatever,,, and what do you think a reasonable time would be if you evened that over 12 miles.. i.e. obviously can't keep the same pace over 12 miles compared to 1 mile. So can't just multiply your 1 mile time by 12..
The U.S. Infantry standard is 12 miles with a 45 pound rucksack and rifle in three hours. Last time I did a 12 miler I came in at 2 hours and 50 minutes. There was some jogging mixed in there though. I usually take my guys on a 4-6 mile ruck every Thursday. I use a 50-60 pound rucksack and we walk at a 15 minute/mile or less. I have to really concentrate to walk that fast but if you got a long stride its not that difficult.
