Would you say 17km is a far distance to walk?

Not really just mental barrier mostly 30 km is more of a challenge in one go.

I have done 45km walks and went for a 23km run in a morning 6am, just for fun, had to take a train back as i kist headed east towards the sea. Took about 2 hours. Did overtime that day at work, about 10hours total, and then booked a cinema session in town for The new terminator movies, the one with Linda, started at around 11pm and ended a bit after 1am. Drove us home for 30km, then we chilled and went to bed.

That was just a Tuesday, had work the rest of the week. And it was December i think, so much better without the heat.

What i recommend to a beginner is eating something small every 3km. Like a banana, part of a energy bar, dont wear to tight shoes, walk on more softer surfaces. Do some squats and stretched in between, drink water and buy the salted kind too for when you sweat, but not only. Depends how fast pace you want to do.

If you have already done it then gongratz, first time on anything longer might seem impossible but you did it.

Yes... Unless you go for a hike and the whole purpose of walking this much is the walk itself.

I would walk 3~5 km in order to get somewhere, work, shopping, visit,...

But i wouldn't walk 17km for that, unless there was no other alternative.

Very far. Would take a long time and be quite exhausting. But it's doable.

[nodnol32]

Its far but doable. You'll be exhausted and it will take a lot of time.

Maybe for an average person that doesn't do much walking. In the spring/summer I walk about 100km a week for work.

[Gravit1]

That's over ten miles should take 2 hours walking 1.5 hrs light jog.

[Peru_My_Heart]

Bro that's far. You're looking at a 3hr walk.

[Asker]

My legs are hurting now lol

[Peru_My_Heart]

You walked it ? lol
I run half marathons which are 20km so I know how you feel.

[Asker]

5km is the most I'll run lol yes I walked it

[Asker]

[Peru_My_Heart]

[Asker]

[Peru_My_Heart]

[Skankhunt]

It depends how your stamina is and if you walk a lot

[jspl90]

yes 3-4 hours depending your speed

[JosyJosy]

Yes, I would ask "was there to public transport?"

[jjj101010]

It’s just over 10 miles. It is a good walk!

[Wise4myage]

In one day? Yes, that's very impressive.

[zagor]

Depends. Once a week, not bad. Every day, a lot.

[sidhutv]

It is based on your health and habbit of walk

[Knightoffire]
