Hay un artículo en Wikipedia. Como dije en mi post, 6 km/h es considerado lo máximo por los militares, y ya tienen que ser jóvenes en perfecto estado de salud. Con peso o achaques, eso no lo aguanta nadie.
Más de 30 kilómetros de marcha es algo muy excepcional, te cargas las piernas y es peor, las lesiones te dejan con los soldados inmóviles por estulto. 20 kilómetros es razonable, 40-60 es surrealista.
4 pilinguis horas a 5 km/h es mucho, parece poco pero es MUCHO para hacerse 20 km diarios.

In the Roman Army
According to
Vegetius, during the four-month initial training of a
Roman legionary, loaded marches were taught before recruits ever handled a weapon; since any formation would be split up by stragglers at the back or soldiers trundling along at differing speeds.
[1] Standards varied over time, but normally recruits were first required to complete 20 Roman miles (29.62 km or 18.405 modern miles) with 20.5 kg in five summer hours,
[2] which was known as "the regular step" or "military pace". (The Romans divided daylight time into twelve equal hours. Depending on the exact day of the year and the latitude, the length of a "summer hour" would vary. Five summer hours is therefore not exact, but could indicate a time of approximately six modern hours.) They then progressed to the "faster step" or "full pace"
[3] and were required to complete 24 Roman miles (35.544 km or 22.086 modern miles) in five summer hours loaded with 20.5 kilograms (45 lb). Training also included some forced marches of 20–30 miles, often amowed by the construction of basic defences for an overnight position.
In some cases, each member of a Roman unit marched with a
sudis, to aid the construction of defences.
In the British Armed Forces
In the British Army, loaded marching is considered a core skill and is tested annually in a 12.9 kilometers (8 mi)
Annual Fitness Test (formerly known as a Combat Fitness Test) carrying 15–25 kg depending on the arm (25 kg for infantry, 20 kg for artillery, armour/cavalry, and engineers/sappers; 15 kg for other arms and services). However, infantry soldiers are additionally expected to complete advanced tests, typically a first day of 20 km (12.43 miles) with 30 kilograms (66 lb) in three and a half hours, amowed by a similar march with 20 kilograms (44 lb) the next day. Within each arm, more demanding units exist (such as close support, commandos and parachutists) and have their own internal standards and tests. Special forces also use their own tests.
During the current selection process,
Army recruits are usually made to tab 3 kilometers (2 mi) as an introduction. This is because
injuries to the legs are common during basic training tabbing.
