When I was a boy scout (so 16 -18 yo) we were walking as a team 50-70 km per day and could sustain that for 2-3 days. More perhaps, but there was nowhere to go any further. We were wearing 20 kg in rather uncomfortable backpacks.
On forced marches we could keep 7-8 km/h speed. And sometime we have practiced legionary walk which is alternating 200 steps jogging and 700 steps walking.
One of the badges was for walking 100 km in a day and lot of my friends got it.
But back then we were generally walking a lot, day by day, every year.
Good shoes and good motivation.
I am not doing this anymore.
- pantalaimon 2y agoThey also have a forced march event here where participants do 100km in 24h but it doesn't look easy https://mammutmarsch.de/ https://mammutmarsch.de/
