Pitiful fitness even for average Joe off the street, let alone soldiers... You ran 1 mile before they did 2/3!!! When Roger Bannister ran a 4 min mile it was a big deal so it's safe to assume you were well outside of 4, probably around 5. Now, whoever can't ran 1070m in 4-5 minutes is... slow. Very slow. Shame on them.
