How long does it take you to walk 8 or 9 km? That is a loooong distance. Right on about good sneakers. Nothing worse than achy feet after a long walk or jog.

I do 5 Kms in 40 minutes, walking, I am not the fastest walker in the world, I don't try to improve on this, all I work hard to maintain is consistency, I have to atleast do 5 days a week inclusive of 10 KM saturday morning walk if I am not too hangied.

Lie detected Swenani, you are turning into Double A..  Nitpicking on irrelevancies and derailing a thread into weird tangents. What's your exercise regimen baba? Let us get healthier this year and next. Today I walked quite a bit and with a heavy backpack at that. I watched a documentary a few days ago about Muhammad ali's training regimen when he was world champ. He jogged with boots weighed down with several kilos in metal weights which he claimed made him lightning fast and super fit once he took them off. Having a heavy backpack or weights and walking or jogging seems to kill two birds with one stone by giving both a cardio and resistance training fix at the same time. Add a steep hill or two while at it and one will get super fit very fast IMHO.

If that's what you want, enda base ukule veve mchapiene vako. Telling lies is derailing a discussion but not pointing out those lies. Walking 8km/hr is same as walking 2.2M/s, How many steps/strides can you make in a second while walking considering that you can't make a metre in one stride? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Walking 8Kms an Hour is very possible, infact I think many Kenyans walking from Kibra to Inda do this effortlessly "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline."

Elite athletes(akina Bekele) run 10Kms in 30-40 minutes Let me stay in my ignorance by stating that no average joe/mary can walk 8-9kms in an hr unless you are an advanced/elite athlete.

Lie detected 5 miles is equivalent to 8 km...My walking route is 5 miles...Now depending on one’s weight and speed of walking you actually burn a decent amount of calories...Hope it makes you feel better by concluding am lying yet you don’t even know me   ...I walk very briskly the first 3 miles and slow down the remaining 2 miles....All achievable in 60-70 minutes... Some people do actually live healthy lifestyles....Been athletic with slight frame all my life....Believe what you want Sir...As for some of us we keep walking... Ce n’est pas si grave...
