It was cheap but still included the run that the head of the Army liked.

Yes, the 3 part PT test was cheap, but IMO effective. Pushups, situps, and two mile run...I remember it well. Now you have a 5 part test, and you have 22 minutes to pass the run.

I just turned 67, and I could pass it with a bit of preparation. My usual walking speed is 17 minutes per mile, for 4-8 miles, depending on mood and weather. I haven't run since I left the Army 37 years ago. Up until my last 18 months, I did my running in jump boots.

Quite baffling since the ‘experts’ say there isn’t any difference between men and women.
