Could you walk as far as one hundred thousand miles in your lifetime?

Answer 1

Let's see. We'll boil it down to a daily distance, and see whether it's reasonable.

Let's say a 'lifetime' is 75 years, and a year is 365 days.

100,000 miles / 75 years = about 1,333 miles per year.

1,333 miles / 365 days = 3.66 miles per day

That's certainly reasonable and 'doable'. Of course, a person would get less

daily mileage in infancy and in old age, but in adulthood and throughout his

productive years, he'd get a lot more.

There's a current popular program for health and fitness that recommends you simply

walk 10,000 steps a day ... which is somewhere between 4.5 to 5.5 miles.
