How do you typically handle long, physically demanding days?

Carrier routes involve walking several miles per day, carrying mailbags, lifting parcels, and managing physical fatigue across 8+ hours in varying weather. The exam is screening for physical stamina + sustainable pacing. The right pattern: (1) PREPARE — hydration, nutrition, proper footwear, fitness; (2) PACE — steady effort that doesn't burn out in the first hour; (3) BREAK — appropriate scheduled breaks restore performance; (4) CONSISTENCY — quality at the end of shift equals quality at the start. Giving up, rushing through (which causes errors and injuries), and avoiding physical work are all disqualifying. The exam is openly asking: 'Are you physically and mentally prepared for this job?' The answer it wants is: 'Yes, and here's how I sustain that.'
