I can't run as fast as Mo Farah in long-distance!

Farah runs around 16-17 mph, which is crazy in itself. Unless if you were an olympic athlete, those speeds are not sustainable. But if you are running at 14 mph, I do suggest you give UK Sport a ring.

Well, I slept in my tent, stopped for food etc. and had a full day off in the middle. It was 20-32 miles a day, depending on terrain and weather.

I did meet a guy along the way who was coming to the end of a ~1,100 Land's End to John O'Groats walk. That's far more hardcore.

I've done a few long distance walking events in the past like the Nijmegen marches (100 miles over 4 days), the Pathfinder March (46 miles in under 20hrs) and a couple of 100k treks - one was London to Brighton to it was pretty flat; that took me just under 24hrs. The other was the Peak District 100k which was far more hilly but I did that in under 21 hours.

Did you get a burning feeling in your lungs and the feeling like you are going to be sick at any moment? :colone:

Most days since I started uni in 2012 I have walked back and forth 35-45 minutes to and from campus and where I was living

But the most I have walked in one go is probably about 2hr. I had a dr's appointment far out, and was lost. If that counts. Idk how many km I walked because I don't carry a ruler but it had to have been over an hr because it got dark and I still didn't find the place.

*Ohhh this is the Fitness Section. I just clicked latest discussions bwahha.

Oh yea I jog on the pavement old school style, I don't use the treadmill lol
