Could you walk 50 miles in a day?

I thought I was doing okay with walking 50 miles in 4 days!

In summer when I'm lighter/fitter I can imagine doing 20-25 or so miles in a day reasonably. Not in the winter though, I'm not keen on walking in the dark and the days are too short here.

I don't know if I could.... but I did do 30 miles in a day back in 2011(I was 48 years old)

Yeah...No.

It really depends on the motivation. I could, if I set my mind to it. It's a huge undertaking. The best I've done thus far - in the three months I've been walking, is 14.4 miles in 4 hours. Need some more 'training'. LOL

Not even close for me. One day, probably yes. Two days, MAYBE, but certainly not a week straight. That feat is so far beyond most people's experience it is hard to even imagine the physical and mental demands of the task.

I know a fair number of endurance junkies, but can only think of one who even comes close in terms of attempting such an aggressive feat. My coach's husband is an Ultra runner and 8 time Ironman who signed up for the Grand Slam this season. The GS is achieved by completing four of the most demanding 100 mile trail races in the US: The Western States 100 in California , Leadville 100 in Colorado, The Vermont 100 and Wasatch 100 in Utah.

These folks remind me of the saying: " Only those who risk going too far find out how far you can really go."

15 miles and I'm ready for bed, can't think how difficult that would be!

I've done a 32mile run. (2012) Pretty sure I could tack on an additional 18mi well within 24hrs. For ONE day. No more. Pretty sure I'd be wrecked/injured trying to do it multiple days. Lol.

Incredible feat!
