running 3 miles is nothing till you see that it was all sprints. I wonder how much time they got to rest between each one ran a lot while playing sports. But when I was in the army we ran about as much as tom hanks in the forrest gump movie. we woke up and ran 2 miles one day 3 the next till we were running 10 to 15 miles a day 4 days a week and that is hard because we were always singing cadence .and in air assult school we ran 24 miles with combat boots and bdu on with a 45 to 60 pound ruck sack and and m16 in hand.i can not remember if it was air assult school or jump school or ranger training that we flew out in black hawks and marched back to our barracks started at 5 pm and when we arrived at 11 am we had walked 42 miles .which walking might not be like running sprints but when you get less than 5 hours of sleep in a week it gets hard to do any thing. my unit went through jungle training on the island of martini and they gave me 4 mri for 16 days but the French commandos would go onto a farm and catch a dozen or more chickens and eat them but I could not because it was not Kentucky fried chicken .if you can continue to run after the other team is spent it gives you a big advantage. go vols maby next they will make them do 100 suicides on the football field.
