You can do. I have done it. I can run with an aspis, fence individually with it, punch with it. It can all be done, it’s just exhausting. But a 5th C. BC ekdromos was probably a lot more fit than I am.https://twitter.com/Verghast404/status/1262452292873117699 …

I'm no athlete or warrior, but isn't ultra-protein needed for extreme weights & muscle building, but less so for endurance? In a sense the military things we are talking abt require some muscle and a ton of endurance. So adequate protein and calories are needed, not an overload
Sure, but we're asking if a 5th cent. Ekdromos is significantly more fit than @MykeCole .
My impression is that he eats well, and is pretty physically fit (admittedly, we have never met in person). And I just don't see the difference being huge, for the reasons above.

That's not to say you can't run or fight with an aspis, of course. Just that I am guessing that the 5th cent. Ekdromos was probably almost as tired as
@MykeCole . Again, my argument is not that ancient warriors were worse than moderns, just that they aren't massively better. -
Sure but they were also trained to do different things So myke trying a few times to do something vs someone who worked for months or years to get to achieve that specific physical task
