    "When we bring a new guy in, I take him out for a run," says Petraeus. "I'll go out hard, then ramp it up around five miles to try to waste him. I want to know how he'll react and respond to the challenge, what his strength of character is."

    2 miles in less than 10 minutes? The man is in his 60s. Not sure I believe this.

    Edit: Article written in 2007. He was 55.

    It says he has run that time, not that he ran it in his fifties.

    Okey doke. I was too hasty.

    And, it seems to imply that theses times were when he was a young man. Maybe even high school.

    Two guys in the club nearly in their 60's who can bang out a sub 30min 5 mile. No big deal. One did run low 50's in Ballycotton in his day. You can be a good runner an in the army too :)
