5 mile run under 45 minuts?
5 mile run under 45 minuts?
Hello everyone. I was recently reading some ranger requirements, and it stated that one must be able to run 5 miles, with no more than 8 minuts per mile. Now I know that under 8 minut miles are do-able, but 5 miles in a row? Was I mislead? Is it really 5 miles in under 45 minuts? Thanks for anyone who can answer this question.

Well reading genius, did you not see the word "under"......................... I honestly doubt you could run any distance with sub 8 minut miles. I applaud anyone who can run 5 miles under those conditions, anymore and that's olympic-worthy.Zonk 1/75 wrote:Well math genius, less than 8 minute miles would mean 5 miles in less than 40 minutes, not 45…….
If you wanna be a Ranger sub 8 minute miles should be do-able for any length as far as I am concerned. Don't like it? Don't try it.................

Alright asshole, prepared to be banned. You did not read the FAQ's, you are disrespectful and your smartass fucking attitude will get you nowhere. Members of the board include current RI's and RIP instructors. By being a disrerspectful douchebag, you have now excluded yourself from what is arguably the best source of non-classified Ranger material in the world, you stupid fuck.gc12413 wrote:Well reading genius, did you not see the word "under".........................

You honestly doubt??? Who gives a flying rat fuck about you or your opinion? How the fuck would YOU know? Based on WHAT experience?I honestly doubt you could run any distance with sub 8 minut miles. I applaud anyone who can run 5 miles under those conditions, anymore and that's olympic-worthy.
Here's a thought...SHUT YOUR FUCKING COCKHOLSTER. Maybe if you had spent some time reading before running your suck your life expectancy here would be a little longer.
Just as a friendly parting gift let me enlighten you dumbass...that standard you posted above is done on a regular basis. I know we did one of those at least once a month, and occasionally, depending on the PL, once a week.
That run is not even considered a hard one.

Olympic mile time is about 4 minutes.
Fucking moron,
We had runners in boot doing 3 miles in 18 minutes. So math genius that equates to a six minute mile on average.
Shit for brains,
A five mile run in under 40 minutes is only a prerequisite meaning if you ever get to have a chance at earning the Tab let alone being part of Battalion it will be expected on a regular basis.
Fat Ass,
You obviously have no understanding of physical training and are weak minded.
Fuck off.

Actually, it's kinda fun.....watching a young buck, with just a few words, fuck up the rest of his life. Are you so stupid as to beleive that you're beyond our grasp, gc12413? I remember recently when a poser had an old LRRP show up at his door. We don't have to do that to you, young hero.....you're going to come to us!!!!

We had a platoon sized detail doing all our shit-work last week.
All of them were RIP failures.
First week failures.
