Would-be soldiers will need to finish a four-mile run in 30 minutes and a two-mile swim in 90 minutes or face elimination.

Survival
You're behind enemy lines in Iraq like Andy McNab in Bravo Two Zero or cast adrift in some mosquito-bitten jungle hell hole. There's no 24-hour McDonald's within 100 miles and Uber don't do taxis to this neck of the woods. It's all about survival. Do or die.
The SAS has to prepare its boldest and bravest for every eventuality - equipping them with just a tin can of survival essentials during training.
Why else would they set up a UK base camp in Hereford? It's all about pushing themselves to the limit.
Psychological Pressure
Recruits who have made it past the never-ending marches, jungle survival, and escape and evasion challenges are probably pretty tough. But the SAS always save the worst 'til last.
The 'Resistance to Interrogation' test.
You can be fit as a butcher's dog, but if you haven't got an unbreakable mind then your chances of wearing that elite badge are dead in the water.
That's why the SAS designed a 36-hour interrogation marathon that reportedly includes sleep, food and water deprivation, hooding, time disorientation and prolonged periods of nakedness. Not in a good way.
