Welcome to The Ministry of Silly Walks, have you developed a new walk?
yes. yes i have Thoughty2.
@@divest_.2759 Is it particularly silly?
@@Thoughty2 Very particularly silly sir.
Now this is interesting.
How about back walk moving in the direction of your back without turning. Like looking front walking backwards
So you're saying a scottsman walked 500 miles, and then walked 500 more just to be a man that walked a thousand miles.
Just to fall down at the door

16:02. Alcohol is a proven performance enhancer in walking. I've personally, and I know many others, who have walked tremendous distances to get home after a night of drinking
And get home sober again
just cut out the middleman and go for a walk guys... sheesh

This is true .
It would be funny seeing some dudes speed walk with a straight posture with angry faces
I saw you when he was talking about you
that's literally me when I walk
Theres an entire olympic sport with just that.
People jokingly call it the deathwalk

@The End me either, it’s so easy for people to lie about things over the internet. Only the greatest people in history have walked and I don’t think big bootros is one of them. Me personally though have walked more then once, not to brag
Big Bootros, I am truly sorry that you had t endure such a traumatic experience. But as they say, Time heals al wounds. Another one is, What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger. So you’ve got some reasons to hold on. One day the pain will go away.
i walked several times. once for every one of your mom's house

Man if Weston wasn't hit by a car at 88, dude probably would have lived to 100.
He'd probably live a lot longer than 100, the more active a person is in life, the longer they live.

Okay never mind walking a thousand miles in a thousand hours is actually insanely impressive, he deserves every single unit of credit he can get.

Speaking of daft competitive sports, what about daft jobs for competitive sports? I have frequently heard about someone to accompany golf caddy’s in the earlier days who would get covered in jam to attract flys, bees, wasps and other flying mini beasts, they where called jam boys and I would love to see a Thoughty2 video on the subject!
That sounds ridiculous enough to be true. Have an upvote. 👍

@Just a Yeti on the Internet
Tweaking or twerking?
honestly these sound a lot like endurance walk or military long marching training
Essentially they are one and the same, except one allowed you to have fans. XD
You don't walk anywhere close to 1000 km or miles in a endurance walk/militair marche
The longest military march ever is 45 miles is 15 houres during the mexican border war(for the US atleast)
If there was a movie about this I'd love to them use the 500 miles song.
The song actually became a hit after appearing in a Johnny Depp movie.
@@Kaddywompous that's actually quite interesting
Oddly the song is called aomething like "I'm Gonna Be" or something like that.
@@CONSOLETRUTH2 I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) is the full title :)
Very entertaining.
Reminds me of Cliff Young an Australian potato farmer who won the inaugural. Melbourne to Sydney ultra marathon of 875 kilometres. Cliff who was 61 back in 1984 ran in his work overalls and boots, minus his dentures, was trailing badly at the end of the first day. While all the other competitors settled down for 6 hours sleep, Cliff didn't. He ended up winning by 10 hours. Cliff hadn't realised there was prize money ($10,000) and felt bad for the other 5 who had completed the race and split the prize money between them, keeping none for himself. He became an overnight celebrity. The next year at 62 years old he married a 23 year old woman in a big ceremony held at a huge shopping complex. Prior to the marriage he was still living with his mother.

Not only do I walk for recreation, but I live in a rather small town, so I walk whilst running errands. I can't even begin to count the number of times that people in cars have offered to give me a ride.
While I appreciate the sincerity of their offers, it makes me feel l a little sad that walking is looked upon as something that is not a valid mode of transportation anymore.
I honestly don't think that people realize just how much they are missing out on...
Imagine an anime about extreme walking.

I took apart in a couple of walking contest when i was a kid and it’s not easy! Keep in mind you’re not walking to the supermarket for shopping or doing an hour treadmill at the gym. you have to maintain an intense walk for several miles beside other competitors and referees.

I love your channel! You present all your videos in a factual and professional manner while your use of humor is absolutely spot on! Ive always been incredibly picky with my subscriptions but you made the cut :D Keep up the fantastic job!
Legitimately gasped out loud when you said Edward Weston was killed by a car. That’s so awful honestly. I have also been hit by a car in a crosswalk but thankfully survived. That car also failed to yield to a pedestrian. I am just imagining the fear he must have felt seeing this giant unfamiliar machine coming at him and realizing it was going to hit him, and it just breaks my heart to know it was while he was doing his favorite sport that he had been doing for decades before cars were even a problem. That just feels like such a cruel ending. :(
On a lighter note though I cracked up laughing when you said Abraham Lincoln himself came out to greet him. For some reason the mental image of that is just hilarious to me.
Me: *thinking Thoughty2 was going to give an actual Australian example*
Thoughty2: ‘About the length from your house to your neighbours house.’
Me:
There's some kind of pedestrianism where I live. A few dutch towns and cities around where I live are called "De Langstraat" and they made the event "De 80 van de langstraat" (The 80 of the Langstraat) where people walk 80km (a little under 50 miles) in one go, you start at 8pm and the last person has to finish at 4pm the following day, if you finish after that you're disqualified. I've partaken in this challenge once and failed (Got to 46 miles tho) but I was 16 back then, I'm almost turning 20 so I'm getting ready to challenge my body once more when the whole pandemic is over, to see if my mind is capable of doing it this time. I highly encourage people to just take a bit of time to challenge themselves to do this. I've learned a lot about my body and mind while training for this challenge, and I've had a lot of fun actually doing it.
Love all your videos but this one is definitely one of my favorites so far! So very well done, and a subject I didn’t know exists! Brilliant work!
Never have I been so interested in a 20 minute video about walking
I've heard jokes about walking being a spectator sport, but I'm so happy to finally see a video going in depth into it.
I had the distinction in July of 1976 of meeting Plennie Wingo, the guy who walked backwards. I have pictures. He had little rear-view mirrors on his glasses, and was at that time walking along US route 395 near Bishop California. He was 81 at the time.
I love your videos so much man. I only discovered you a few weeks back, to my surprise since I watch youtube a lot. Thanks.
Thoughty’s storytelling was unusually pedestrian in this one.
Does anyone know why most of the pedestrians shown had some small object in their hand? Were these used as a tool for establishing and maintaining balance when the pedestrian grew tired? (Weston holds something similar to a razor, and Anderson holds what appears to be a bow without the string).
Since no one else has given you even a guess to this good question, I will give you one. It is only a guess. You said one looked like a Razor, well from the sound of it you might want something to fend off someone trying to change the outcome. A Razor, or knife is small but effective and never needs reloading. I hike a fair amount and find a walking stick to be very useful. It helps keep your balance, has literally stopped me from falling after triping on something. It is helpful in climbing up a hill or stepping up onto a rock, you can literally pull yourself up with it. Some people like a longer one, others like a shorter one. Beyond my suggestions here I don't have an answer for you. Hope this either helps or gets you thinking how the item they carry might be useful.
This cheered up my Monday , your channel is the best thing I found this year ❤️😃❤️
This could potentially be Thoughty2's best ever video I savoured every second of it
You have one of the more interesting channels in youtube my friend! Keep it up!
"I walked 500 miles and I'll walk 500 MORE!"
Your channel is so informative. big thanks to you
@Thoughty2, Sir, I absolutely love your channel. I find myself loving to learn about things I didn't even know to exist. Thank you for what you do.
Can't believe this was THING at all. I guess I should walk mora often and drive alot less
It would add years to your life.
Let me impress you with the fact that I can walk from my house to my neighbors house
@Nancy Rodriguez I'll take that bet.
@Nancy Rodriguez I think that the two houses are the same house, and you don't have any neighbors.
@eyeoftheebeholder00 and assume you need a ride, because no one would walk on purpose.....
Enjoyed it thoroughly 👌 thanks
You are so underrated! I love your content and keep it up!!
Who else saw a line-up of Thoughty2 run-walking??? Perfect fit.
My 4x great grandfather was a British sailor who jumped ship in Valparaiso Chile and walked the coast all the way to San Francisco CA for the gold rush. As the crow flies that's about 6,000 miles according to Google, and of course following the few established roads and paths of the time would have been a much farther distance.
Thoughty2 needs to record an end addiction hypnosis recording. His voice is so enchanting, I bet such a recording could save thousands of lives.
Your uploads are very nice to watch, very well narrated!
Thought can you do a video about hypnotism please, I was just thinking about it

Man that was interesting as hell. I didn't even know where this sport originated from. Truly the history books are jam packed with such stories. Keep on doing what you're doing 👍.
I clicked on this video expecting to be bored and go to another video shortly. But in your normal style, you always make any video entertaining and comical. Thanks for your channel!
Sure, sure. Try and get the "me now" generation to walk two blocks to the store!
Since in some countries like Australia it is forbidden to walk outside "without an important reason" you can't even do it "legally" (of course that is a huge rabbit hole here).

Hi Mr Arran
This was a very lovely history “lesson”.
I think this story “hit home” so much for me bc the only “athlete” sport I potentially get could take part in nowadays would be “pedestrianism” and I’ve heard of the modern day version of the sport but never the history behind the sport.
Thanks for sharing your videos you’re a brilliant story teller 💫
“Thanks for reading 😉, you can now comment below on my comments 🙇♀️ (the emoji is bowing) ”

I never would have thought that listening to an audio about walking for 21 minutes would be so interesting. Thanks for that.
I was in Greece at the 2004 Games and I remember laughing when they announced “race walking” 🤣
I'm guilty of engaging in spontaneous race walks. I lost all of them.
one of the best uploads recently
Really cool and informative video! Haven't heard of this sport even before. Unreal how much they walked back then. Nowadays in the Netherlands we have the "Nijmeegse 4-daagse" which is a event where people walk 40 km (25 miles) every day for 4 days and supposedly it's pretty darn hard, but it's nothing compared what they did back then!
I’m not the only person that read that title wrong
Juss gonna point out the fact that thoughty2 is getting fed by another man at 11:22
Nice job 42. Would be interested to know what kind of shoes the walkers wore? Amazing stuff.
Yes I read about the Regents walking and fighting in the biography of Captain Barclay Alardyce. A brilliant read indeed.
If Weston had ADHD, there a chance that cocaine did make him sleepy.

Dude, I absolutely loved this episode. I love walking and until now had not a clue that others did too. XOXOXO
Im sure i could listen to you talk about anything an find it interesting. I hope you do a video on what people did after walking. There must've been a few ideas people came up with, even ones that never really took off that have long been forgotten. I like to imagine they all got coked up an started racing bikes. Thanks for creating 😉
Why's that guy in the middle of the thumbnail have 3 legs
He walked so fast that you could see more than just a pair of legs
The average person most definitely does not walk at an average of 4mph, lol. I have a quicker pace than most, but still only around 3.5mph.
That's actually slow. You'd have to be under 5'6 with 1ft stride for that to make sense
@@chmchn Average walking speed by age -
20 to 29 = 3.0 to 3.04mph
30 to 39 = 3.0 to 3.2
etc.
I'm 5'9, i do have short legs, but I still keep a quicker pace than the majority of people I see walking around my area, or when I walk with friends. I'm not a massive hiker, but i tend to walk 6 - 10 miles a day. Longer walks are around 12 - 18 miles. Occasionally I will do the 3 peaks of my area, around 27 miles. My speed varies between about 3.1 - 3.6mph across all terrain and elevations. These aren't impressive stats, and if I was wanting to compete, then i can quicken my pace, this is just my default walking pace. But that is not my point. My point is that the average person does not walk at 4 miles per hour.
@@darkraft1020 also 5'9. I walk much faster than 3.5mph. you must be taking really slow strides.
@@chmchn Again the average walking speed is 3 miles per hour... You must be walking abnormally fast.
I was told as a child that the average speed was 4miles per hour on road, and 3 cross country. So grew up with this assumption, and was aware I had a slightly quicker pace than most. (I have been complained at on multiple occasions) So assumed i must have a decent pace. it was only with the advent of accurate GPS tracking of distance and speed I found I walked around 3.5 and was surprised by this. But sure enough the math seems to add up with the duration of walks. Yet i still hold a quicker pace than those i walk with and need to adjust down to match.
@@darkraft1020 I think you are on the low end of the average. Maybe what you're seeing is a social or cultural variance, but anything moving 3 miles per hour where I'm from is really slow. 3.5 is understandable, but 3 is barely over the speed a car parallel parks.
My grandfather used to cycle to hurling matches"irish sport" and back, it was about a 400mile round trip, so he would leave on a Friday after work and come back late Sunday with a game inbetween, sleeping in ditches along the way... most people probably pay good money for that kind of experience these days.
This was great video!
I like the Hindu version a lot better..

No, that would be your comment.
I was a member of the Shore AC in NJ, the premier N.J. Athletic Club.
Elliot Denman was a our president and a 1956 Race Walking Olympian.
I competed in many races including the London to Brighton Walk, which I failed to finish, but
did manage about 22 mile, paltry but I was new to the sport at the time.
It's still a popular and demanding sport with, as you so eloquently show,
quite an interesting past.
I have known many RW competitors and champions and they are as
dedicated and gifted as any athletes in the world, and in fact , the sport is far from extinct.
Cheers,

I occasionally overthink walking while I'm walking, then momentarily forget how to walk properly.
Or maybe I just have the odd dream where I forget how to walk and merely haven't learned how to distinguish them from reality yet.
