At different times in my life, I have exceeded each of these standards by a reasonable margin.
To do them all
at the same time would be extremely difficult to achieve, even for an excellent athlete.
The training for the 40 yard dash and 10 mile run actually work against each other.
Someone who has long arms and short legs would be at a substantial disadvantage when trying to perform the bench and 10 mile standards.
It would not accurately reflect the fitness or ability of such a person.
To consistently
maintain just these three would require a ridiculous investment of time for training, and would require substantial down-time between training sessions to avoid injury.
There would likely be better ways to spend that time.
Having done the training required to pass each of these standards one-at-a-time, I find the idea of requiring simultaneous performance to be absurd.
Something is wrong with these numbers.
<edit>
Shouldn't the 40 yd dash and 10 mile run times be maximums?
