...an example from the Falklands war comes to mind,...when we first went out, we found that when it camp to yomping [ marching with heavy loads ] the first causalities were the fit looking guys who didn't have an ounce of excess fat on the them, including the fitness instructors who fell by the wayside first
The reason was that the Falklands is a very cold place, and it was the guys who had the little extra fat, the slightly less fit men who were able to continue best and fight at the end of it.
So dont make the mistake of generalising fitness, as long as your level of fitness is enough to get you through what you plan to do,..then you are fit enough
when it `CAME` to yomping
Now we know who ate all the pies!
