On “Long distance/cross country ----> race walking.”

Harder than you think, not a huge challenge. That's about 30 seconds slower than the men's 65-70yo world record for the distance (it's almost universally a masters or junior distance). It's not a matter of cardio fitness initially, but a matter of technique. Enjoy: link to this video
