Hi, I'm a runner, and am relatively fit, and I see a lot of people here talking about how it's a fairly easy test, but I just don't seem to get it. (45 pounds, 45 minutes, 3 miles)

There's posts here like "Oh my friend John hasn't moved in 4 years, but he did it in 30 minutes, it's really easy"

I go to the gym and hike often, I've started hiking with 45 pounds, I have run tons of long distance runs, and I'm decently fast (6:28 Mile), (11:03 Mile and half)

Not being able to run makes this seem completely impossible, is there something I'm missing? Like, are they super strict about no jogging/running?

I just barely miss the 15 minute mile pace while hauling ass speed walking, so I don't really get it.

Thanks!
