LRRPF52,
Thank you for all of your advice. I've been running in my S&W boots which weigh 2 lbs each. I never thought about how that translates to in weight and energy expended. The heart rate vs breathing makes sense and I'll have to focus on getting in better cardio shape for that. I get bored with running but the end result is worth it. The run does allow slings and whatever else you can carry. The battle belt is a huge step above the traditional vest, especially when going under the barbwire or across the cargo net.
I'll start looking for new shoes for the upcoming Oct run.
Thanks gain for the advice!!!
