Cpt Daniel Glenn of the US navy has finished a monumental task - a half marathon in full EOD gear (that is, 38.5kg worth of bulky clothing).

Damn...

How long did it take?

wow
so amazing

So this is what peacetime military is up to. Whatever can pass the time, right?

Lloyd Scott ran the full 26 mile london marathon in nearly 100lbs of plate armour, while towing a 200lb sculture of a dragon behind him.

and raised 1.8 million pounds / 2.6 million dollars for charity in doing so.
>>
I watched him doing the push ups at the end and seeing the female "marines" doing it all I could think was 1, 1, 1, 1...

Same guy also did the full marathon in a 130lb (59kg) diving suit with lead-soled boots.

admittedly, it took him 5 days...

I just want to point out I don't want to shit on this guy's achievement it's fucking awesome, but the fact that he did this and them dropped and pumped out full form press ups and they couldn't even manage it bugs the shit out of me.

Tony Morrison, meanwhile, did not just run the London Marathon with a 42Kg refrigerator strapped to his back.

He ran a total of 1009 miles, 40 Marathons, in the space of 41 days.
With the refrigerator strapped to his back, the entire way.

Well jeez that's fucking impressive.
>>
>>30031157
4:51 i think. Average time for the same distance in the US is like 2:02 so its not a great time or anything, but its the whole EOD suit part that makes it impressive. If you've ever worn or tried one on.
>>
>>30031282
Thought he had a portashitter on his back at first.
>>
>>30031133
Bulldozers/Juggernauts are real now.

God help us all.

John Bedford did the full 26-mile London Marathon in 2011 wearing a EOD suit.

his time was 9 hours 40 mins.

Which rather makes Cpt Glenn's half-marathon time of 4 hours 51 mins, and claim of "“I don’t think anyone else has done this, So, for now, 4:51 — that’s the record because there was no record before." a bit un-impressive.
>>
>>30031133
Damn that's a captain? He looks young. I know EOD advances quickly and all but still.
>>
>>30031429
Officers often take better care of themselves than enlisted. So you have a lot of 40 year olds that look like they are in their early 30s.

Yeah but a captain is an O-6. That's like 20 years commissioned at least.
>>
>>30031455
That guy should be a flag officer, not a field grade. He is that old because he wasn't able to make rank.

Someone has adapted to the new marathon safety regulations in the US at least.

>>30031476

He's a medical officer, probably a nurse judging by his sleeve insignia. Making Captain is quite a feat.
>>
>>30031133

He's an LT, not a CAPT.
>>
here is the real question did he have the ac thing those have running at the time?
>>
>>30031133
STOP TAKING ATTENTION AWAY FROM WOMEN! SOME OF THOSE FEMALE MARINES RAN THE COURSE TOO! THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY GEAR ON OR DO ANY PUSH-UPS, BUT THESE ARENT THINGS YOU DO IN COMBAT ANYWAY! THEY JUST MADE THAT STUFF UP TO EXCLUDE WOMYN!
