That's 48 kilometers. A 3D artist cannot make 30 miles in one day while the sun is still up. That's about 14 hours walk in the same pace, 2 miles an hour. After 10-15 miles a 3D artist and any untrained, grown, office man of 20 years old and older will hurt his legs and starts limping. Max that you could make is 15 - 20 miles a day. But if you really made it (which I doubt, unless you are a professional athlete), the injures of your legs you picked up that day will stay with you forever and hurt more with ages. It's not healthy for an office man to do 30 miles for 14 hours.....Aside from my complaining and not believing (I'm sorry about that) - your arts are good. All the best!
Hey R B! Thanks for the kind words of my art. As for your other points - my general rule is not arguing with strangers online as it rarely leads to any resolutions :) But I appreciate you taking the time to watch and to write a comment, it really means a lot, so I'll address your points one by one. 1. "A 3D artist cannot make 30 miles in one day while the sun is still up. That's about 14 hours walk in the same pace, 2 miles an hour." On average I walked quite a lot faster than 2 miles an hour. I walk about 1.5 - 2 hours every day to offset all the sitting and give my eyes a break. My comfortable walking speed is about 3mph and I started with a briskier pace for the first hour of the journey. So altogether my purely walking time (not counting rests) was closer to 10 hours than 14. I set out at 8:15 in the morning. By noon I already covered 13miles with an average speed of 3.25. I then had about half an hour rest and continued. The 29th mile mark I hit at around 18:00, which would be 5.5 hours later. I had very small stops along the way every few hours which lasted no longer than 5-10 minutes each. The last mile took the longest. I did it at a very leisurely pace, around Dorking's city center with a half an hour long sit-down, then walked leisurely back to the station getting cod'n 'chips along the way. I've not timed my pace there, but I was back at the station just after 19:15. The sun was already not out - I think my phone's camera autoexposure made it seem brigher than it was. You can see the streetlamps on near the station and at the station. 2. "After 10-15 miles a 3D artist and any untrained, grown, office man of 20 years old and older will hurt his legs and starts limping." Indeed. I did hurt my legs pretty badly. Got blisters probably even before the 10-15 miles mark, because I was walking in my running shoes and thin cotton socks. Something I read up afterwards was not a great idea. You can actually see me limping a fair bit towards the end, but I guess on sped up footage it doesn't show as much. On top of that I felt the impact hurt on the bones with every step after 20 miles. The last 10 miles were pretty agonising. But I am stubborn, and I suppose I have a decent threshold for low-level pain. 3. "But if you really made it (which I doubt, unless you are a professional athlete), the injures of your legs you picked up that day will stay with you forever and hurt more with ages." Time will tell I guess. I hobbled for over a week afterwards. I had bad blisters on both feet, the bones hurt and when I came home and took my shoes off - my socks were torn and bloody at the back. I didn't include the pictures of my bloody socks and feet in the video because YT would probably ban me :) But blisters are gone, feet and legs feel fine now, so pretty sure I'll be alright. 4. "It's not healthy for an office man to do 30 miles for 14 hours" Absolutely agree with you. I didn't do it for health, was a challenge for myself, and in hindsight maybe a silly one at that. I considered walking to Scotland this summer in under 2 weeks, which would mean walking 30 miles every day for 10-11 days. This was a challenge to see how I feel after walking 30 miles. Not considering walking to Scotland in 2 weeks anymore. I think 20 miles (or better even less) a day at very highest limit which I can aim for without destroying my feet. There it is, maybe it sways your opinion, maybe not. Either way thanks again for watching and leaving a comment. All the best to you too!
Thank you so much Max! Yeah it was a challenge but happy I've done it. Look forward to my next walk already. Maybe will plan a bit better this time 😅 and yeah that gate was so creepy 🤣🤣
