how long does that take u

[Isaiah]

25 mile forced road march at night with lots of hills and a full ruck sack on my back carrying an M-16 rifle while serving as an army infantryman.

[chipper]

Hiked 12 miles one day and never slept better that night...

[recon1]

Outside of occupational necessity, about 15 miles Dania beach to Sunrise, FL. Went to a party and saw a brick of coke on table and i walked back out. Friend was getting layed and he was driver, nobody answering cell phones and pagers (yes, that long ago).
Once in New York me and some friends walked from time square to WTC towers, Anybody know how far that is who's from NY? seemed far to me then.

Walk too and from work so approx 55-60mins each way.

It's easy to make excuses about being too time consuming etc but if you really want it you find the time to do it

[smitch124]

I once had to walk to the refrigerator twice in a row when I forgot the bottle opener. I didn't even rest during either time

So you have a sustained walking speed of between 6 and 8mph (2-3x an average human walking speed) for an hour, but you don't break a sweat?

Still sweat on warm days but not profuse or anything (compared to running).

Cover 9km each way in 55-60min (down from 1hr 20mins to begin with) so converted id imagine that to be approx 12miles.

Find a speed your comfortable with and build on that...

[NunyaBidness]

9km = 5.5 miles.

a 6 to 8mph walk is a run. Odds are your walk is about half the distance you think it is.

Post a video of yourself on a treadmill doing a 8mph walk for an hour.

This is what 8mph looks like:

This is a 7mph walk

[marzwoody]

Can walk all day. it is just putting one front in front of the other, there is no pain.

wait til u get older, for me its painful just to get out of bed. I'm breaking down.

Last night got up to take a piss and totally fukkin collapsed on the way back to the bedroom hit the ground pretty fukkin hard. Finally got to my bed and i started sweating perfusely for about 30 minutes. Felt like i was dying. Maybe dehydration? i drank heavily all day yesterday though...

that shit ever happen to anyone else?

[scumbag]

I walk 4 miles everyday for exercise. My deepest thinking occurs on these walks.

longest walk was from the south end of the strip to Durango and Westcliff. Long story, longer walk. Not sure how far, must have been 15 miles at least

[Bostongambler]

Walking uses all ur leg muscles with every step. Whilst running you sort of get in a momentum and glide. But obviously u are using leg muscles there as we.

[zizoudane10]

55 kilometers with full equipment, 15 kg rucksack and G36 etc and changing shifts of carrying the MG42, during my time at the Bundeswehr. With alarms etc in between. Fukking feet were bleeding, disgusting. But the beer we got when we arrived back in our block has to be the best I ever had or will have again.

[NrmlCurvSurfr]

I go on hunts, usually white tail, 308 or 30-06 30-30 ect, maybe 15lbs gear, mostly h2o and snacks (hardcore, I know)... usually walk the property line once and work my way inside...if I don't shoot anything, its about 12-13hrs, majority at about 1mph, I do walk faster down certain paths, sometimes I'm tip toeing...so 18-20mi would be about right...

...on my first solo white tail hunt at about 12yo, I'll never forget walking out into the black of night 4am, west Texas winter winds whistling through the brush, gun feels heavier than usual, had to walk ~3 miles to the blind using some paths but mostly natural land markers and had to get there before sun up...Very cool experience

[Boner_18]

10-12mi day hikes a few times a year. Looking into section hiking some AT which would entail some 15-20mi days.

I thought the exact same thing when I read his post but decided to let it go. My guess is it takes him an 10 minutes to drive to work

[jbrent95]

I ran a 10K on Sunday in less than an hour. No bad for a old guy with shin splint. Two weeks ago I led a group of youths on a 18-mile one day hike thought a few of the other added a couple more miles to get an even 20. A couple of months ago, I took a group up Grays Peak and Torrey's Peak in Colorado which was about 10.5 miles with two 14,000-ft summits.

[crustyme]

ran out of fuel in the middle of nowhere and of course forgot my phone. walked 20 miles in 100 degrees with just 1 bottle of water. probably woulda passed out had i not found a creek along the way.

lol theres nothing wrong with being short

6mph walk isnt that fast if you have long legs. Being 6'3 means I take longer strides than average hence am comfortably able to maintain a 5-6mph pace.

it is possible to walk 6 mph. but you are going to look like a retard doing it.
