Agree Dan.
There was a publication called "Encyclopedia of medieval warfare". with lots of photos. It showed renactrors doing acrobatics in full plate armor!
Most modern wooden hoplitee shields go up to 6 kgr. At leastr those that were available in June. I did not felt very strained at hoplitodromy in Watford
Also I would not describe linothorax as very heavy item.
Kind regards
