If my math is correct, that is almost an 8 minute mile. The article claims that the CPT said his achievement came from training with the Ft. Campbell 10 miler team and his personal marathon training.

Not an unreasonable time:
When I went through the ruck march was not weighted. Contents encompassed the school packing list. Rubber boots, pancho liner ect... Total weight was less than 15 lbs.
I ran the ruck march and was so far ahead that I beat the cadre to the turn and thus kept on going. When I completed the base circuit hours ( and a shit load of miles) later, they accused me of skipping the march.
Top notch people.
I do admit the sling loading was worth while.
