Without getting tired? I’m not talking about a sight-seeing type of plodding where you walk a few steps - stop, look at the trees and birds then go back to walking. I’m talking about a nicely paced walk - a step or two before you’d call it jogging.
Would you make it 2 miles? 5- 10 miles? More?When would your cardio give out ? Maybe your calves would cramp up …?
It would be interesting to take the average person and perform this experiment. The average length would be …?
I get my BEST results from “plodding” taking in the “trees & birds” and other critters and peoples. I forget about “exercise, pace/time” and just stroll. When I do that I find that it results in the BEST SHAPE too!
I did 25 miles in the heat in Ft Benning when I was like 19.
From here to my car.
I did 7K the other day. Weather is not great right now though…
What could you do present day do you think?
Would say 30-50miles
How old are you? I assume you exercise quite often?
I walked 9 miles home from the boat when me and the wife got into a argument hahahahaha had boat shoes on, if I had my on clouds I’d still be walking!
No. 48 in a month. Just started again but going slow. Treadmill shit the bed so I’ve been going outside, then theraband for shoulder rehab. Back to weights in a month.
I did a long one home from a stag one night in crocs and it took 3 or 4 days for my feet to heal… bad times…
something something five hundred miles
When I was on the treadmill regularly before CoVid hit and then Dad died, I did just over 1500 miles at around 4.4 mph and 13-15 elevation in a year. I would do 7 miles a day for age seventy plus row 3-5 miles, plus a little bit on the stair master and elliptical. I really need to get back there. It was my routine for 10 years following my heart valve surgery. My health has gone south while I have dealt with clearing out his homes, dealing with finances, etc. I worked out at a cardiac center in a hospital because if something went wrong that was the place to be. I have gained undesirable weight and though I am not obese by any means, I would like to get back where I was. Right now, I could probably not walk a five K at a strolling pace … ashamed to admit it but I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.
I can walk 100 miles if I got food and water. Walking isn’t hard.
I’ve done 11.5 hours in the mountains. No food, no water. The last hour in the dark. I passed out once I got home.
OP can I stop at all during this? Or is it like the Steven King story and if you stop you get shot?
You should try getting caught in the dark on 450 dirtbike in a logging area with no trail. Wanna pass out ? It’ll do it.
Just tell yourself each step taken is one more towards the next cake.
That sounds dangerous mate. I hope you made it back safely.
I would say that you can walk for as long as you can stay awake, just make sure you eat and drink as you walk. Walking is only a little more difficult than standing still.
