To say that things have changed since I went through a couple of years before Martin.
I do not know about harder then vs now. I do know it is different. I believe in injury prevention, but I also believe you should train in the gear you will be required to fight in.
Having said that, running is a conditioning drill. It is not training for combat. You don't need to wear all your combat gear to go lift weights in the gym to increase muscle mass and strength. Running shoes are designed for running. Combat boots are not! Combat boots have to be designed to support the feet and ankles, provide traction, and give some protection from the environment.
If you are doing combat related training, wear all your stuff. If you are conditioning or learning motor skills, wear what you need to prevent injury.
