Intense Training
Prominent encyclopedias refer to the training methods used by Genghis Khan as equal to modern-day labor camps. Oftentimes, Mongol warriors were required to complete over 75 miles a day on horseback, in order for them to stay at the top of their game. Those that didn’t manage to get through the training were punished and shamed, often driving them to perform better then next time they mounted their steeds. The result? Deadly speed on the battlefield.

Intelligence gathering was a key skill that all generals and lieutenants had to get skilled in, or they would have to face the consequences. Knowing his total number of armed forces also made Khan skilled at intelligence gathering, driving battlefield strategies that led to great results over the short and long term.
