Is that so? I bet over 95% of people in the military cannot and will not EVER run a sub 5 minute mile...
For Army Rangers (Elite) they have to run 2 miles in less than 15 minutes and 12 seconds...
Navy Seals have 11 minutes and 30 seconds to run 1.5 miles in boots.
Regular army 2 mile run scores stop being listed on the army website after 19 minutes and 54 seconds.
Whatever the average performance of your regular soldier is, the point was to be that you can use sprint training to get good at running the 4-5 minute mile ;P
Just from personal experience, even a 5:30 mile required a pace that felt like I was running on afterburners by halfway through the run. So i couldn't imagine what 4-5minutes would be like, you'd have to be working hard af and probably be Black to keep up that pace.
Once you start running a mile in 4-4.5 minutes, you are sprinting it more or less. It would demand 70% of your maximum speed the whole way I'd guess.
