Who is an overall in better physical condition shape: An Army Ranger or a High level Cross Country athletic?
Interesting question, my answer may be a little biased since I'm a xc and track runner but I say the runner. People that excel at running don't just "join the team" they "live" running. Good high school runners can run times that an Army Ranger couldn't even dream of (partly due to the different training). If they were to go race a half marathon, no doubt both would finish, but the runner would do it faster and have more energy left after they finish. You would never see an Army Ranger run a mile in 4:20, which is a somewhat modest time for high school track athletes. Its a close call and I don't think there is a 100% right answer because its somewhat of a personal opinion of who is in better shape but just stamina, endurance, and speed the xc runner hands down.
