To drive 800 miles in one day , you would have to drive for 12 hours at an average speed of approx. 65 mph. I would think for one person that would be too fatiguing. The speed limit across Colorado and Kansas back then was 80 miles an hour, so I made relatively good time.

140 miles

approximately 0.6818 miles per hour. exactly 1.09728 km per hour.

You can walk 6–8 miles (9–12 km) in 2 hours, walking at a brisk pace. The average person walks about 3 miles per hour, you can walk up to 4 miles per hour at a brisk pace (speed walking).

While 6:30 min/mile isn’t blazing by hardcore runners standards, (I’ve done a marathon at a 6:43 pace for example), by most runners standards it’s pretty quick. I googled some 4 mile race results and 6:30 / mile puts you in around the 90% percentile.

Given that the average speed of an athlete to do a mile in 5 minutes or less, with the world record being under a 4 minute mile; 5 miles in 40 minutes is athletic and above-average, but sub-Olympian standard of fitness and running speed.

You should be able to run at least 4 miles in 28 minutes in boots with ease.

A good rule of thumb is to perform no more than 200 push-ups or sit-ups and no more than 50 pull-ups in a single day, and no more than 1000 push-ups or sit- ups and no more than 250 pull-ups in a week.

Navy SEAL PST Standards

Trainees going through Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL Training, or BUD/S, will be expected to do many miles of running every week and continue to do so while training as full SEALs. Training for endurance-based distance running is a matter of putting in the miles. SEALs can run 30 miles in a week or more.

And, as part of the current PT Test (will be changed very shortly) they have a 2 mile run. The MINIMUM requirement for the 2 mile run varies by age group from 15:54 (7:59 min/mile pace) down to 20:00 (10:00 min/mile pace). Right now, we have about 2,500 active duty Navy SEALs.

10 miles

For instance, a BUDS candidate who is well prepared with running can handle 20-25 miles a week at least and do 1.5 mile timed runs at a 6 minute pace (9:00-9:30 zone) and a 4 mile timed run at a 7 minute pace (sub-28 min min zone).

Yes they get their normal pay while in buds and they come out of buds at a higher pay grade than when they went in assuming they pass the training. Yes they get paid as even though they’re training, they still hold a rank in the Navy.

From the US Navy statistics – Only 6% of Navy SEAL applicants qualify to go to BUDS. Of those candidates only 25% go on to become Navy SEALs. You have a better chance of applying to Harvard Law and graduating than you do becoming a frogman.

When given the opportunity to get six or more hours of sleep – take it. Weekends are yours to continue to rest and recover. Take a few naps during the weekend after big meals. Try to limit your late nights and when away from the BUD/S chow hall, eat well – not junk or fast food.

Navy SEAL Hell Week is a five-and-a-half day stretch in which candidates sleep only about four total hours, run more than 200 miles and do physical training for more than 20 hours per day. Navy SEALs go on missions to raid, ambush and assault enemy forces or terrorist cells.

Phones and other electronics are fine, just keep them in your room locker while not in use.

BUD/S is a 24-week training course that develops the SEAL candidates’ mental and physical stamina and leadership skills. BUD/S consists of a three-week orientation followed by three phases, covering physical conditioning (seven weeks), combat diving (seven weeks), and land warfare (seven weeks) respectively.

The answer is both yes AND no. The SEAL Challenge Contract that you can get guarantees you a shot at BUD/S after Boot Camp. You still have to go thru Pre-BUD/S at Great Lakes and then Indoc out in Coronado of course. But, you don’t have to complete a separate A school or go spend any time int he fleet first.

The Range of Basic Pay For 2018, enlisted active duty SEALs salaries start at $2,089 a month for a Petty Officer Third Class (E-4) with less than two years service at that grade and rise to $7,845 a month for a Master Chief Petty Office (E-9) with 40 years total service.
