If im really energetic, I can walk 7-8 miles in a given day.

    I try to walk at least 8...by that point I've burned about 850 calories and I'm ready to call it a day! :)

    I hate walking... but I guess I could walk 5 miles tops! I did a 5K this last weekend and that wasn't so bad... but I don't like walking.. Give me the elliptical or crossramp and I'm good.

    I vary it, yesterday I walked 15 miles, today I ran 7. It has taken several months to build it up...

    I'm a runner, not really a walker. But I took the dog through some trails at a state park for two hours on Sunday. We walked 5.5 miles, lots of ups and downs. WOW! I was 10 times more sore than I am after a 4 mile run! It's tuesday now and it still hurts to sit on the john.

    I will never scoff at walkers again!

    I walk every where I go becasue I dont have a car, so some days I would walk 10-15K easy, but others maybe not even 500m!

    I've done 15 in one day....although that was the same day my younger brother RAN a half marathon and I thought "if he can run that, I can walk MORE than that on the treadmill on an incline!!!" lol. It was fine... but I dont have the time to do that every day.

    Typically I walk 5 at a time when I do walk inbetween P90X days.

    Never measured how far I can walk in a day, but the toughest hike I have done a couple years ago up Crow Peak with my grandson. 7 miles RT. Rough terrain, elevation climbe of 1560 feet. Started in the morning, lunched at the top, came home, then cooked dinner (while my teenaged grandson slept all the way from the trail base). He ate, then slept while I took him home. So grandma was still going until after dark LoL.

    The most I've done is 6, honestly I can't ever imagine walking for 10-15 miles I'd be bored out of my mind lol

    I walk to work twice a week and it is 3.9 miles each way, I do it to save money on petrol/busfare and the avoid the gym! Traffic is also really bad where I live.
    I can walk to work in an hour as I like to walk really fast and am often running late!
    My husband does almost the same walk as me every day as he works full time and refuses to catch a bus.
