Like Saffer said, very impressive, maybe a little too impressive. Maybe you're some kind of semi-proffesional athlete, but certainly getting to the standard required for the paras doesn't need 12 miles + and two hours weights every session.

You need to two different types- the first is running very, very hard for short periods of time, resting, and then doing it again, repeating until you are very knackered.
The other is running slowly for a long time until you are knackered :D
Take it easy at first, each time you train make sure you ...

6.35 is a pretty good time. It's probably more productive for you to compare your times to your own previous times (if that makes sense) rather than other people, ie time yourself best effort over a set distance once a week on the same day, and that way you will be able to see if the fitness work ...

Kids not knowing it is one thing, but considering most of the people in that survey were over 18, it is incredible, i genuinely find it difficult to believe.

Did 4 of these last night, the first two seemed easy but then it started getting VERY tough. But after the fourth set one of the instructors came over and had a go at me, because I was going too fast or bending over / leaning back too much. I don't know about that, it felt okay to me!
I had ...

interesting video, with glow sticks, quad bikes, very artistic camo paint and one guy carrying the largest rifle i've ever seen!
I don't speak French so i don't know what's going on in most of the video, but it appears to be an excercise, somewhere in Africa i think.
