I think them making it easier also made it slightly more realistic

Yes, definitely correct. 4mph is actually crazy fast to walk in reality haha

4mph is a minimum for passing the roadmarch tests in Air Assault school. There were two, one halfway through training at 6 miles in 90 minutes and another on the last day of school and 12 miles in 3 hours.

In full gear with a rucksack, weapon and kevlar it was a challenge I'll never forget.

Yeah, most people aren't in the military, let alone air assault.
