My real nice RIP Instructors set the pace for me back when I started doing this stuff, way back when.........I kept up then, and realized that my Basic Course Had been Easy, and I was finding the challenge I had been looking for. Since then I know what the standard is.........
Ditch all the feel good stuff......Ruck up and walk........then walk faster...........then even faster, lean forward and push yourself into a pace that feels like you are moving way too fast.......this is your pace!!!!!!!!
You will have to dig deep.....the first few times will be real uncomfortable and will literally wear some seriously nice blisters into places they've never been before.......you will get used to this, and the body will adapt and either not give you blisters after a while or give them to you anyways........the by-product either way is character!!!!!!!
Dig deep, LT.
