Footslogging

/ˈfʊtslɑɡɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The act of marching or walking long distances, especially in a military context or when fatigued.

Etymology

From footslog + -ing (gerund suffix), describing the action itself rather than a person.

Kelly Says

Footslogging remains a dreaded aspect of military training—modern soldiers still undertake 40-mile 'foot-slog' marches in full gear, a practice that tests physical and mental endurance beyond traditional running.
