longest you have ever walked or ran for

[bwfcforlife]

general question , what is the furthest you have ever traveled by walking or running or jogging.

mine would be about 6.2 miles from college to my house which takes about 2 hours.

 

[aladdinsgirl]

26.2 miles, twice. I've run 2 marathons.

I have been able to do a 5K..that's it so far. I did the Couch to 5K program to build myself into it (was never a runner/exerciser prior to that).

I have done longer walks for things like March of Dimes but I can't remember the actual distance at this point.

Kind of a random question, but fun

We do a lot of 10K volksmarches, and that is the same as about 6.2 miles. We certainly have hiked much longer hikes than that at times though--and when we visit a city we can walk all day. I don't always (or very often at all) know the distance of a trail--it is not really on my radar most of the time, but I am pretty sure one this summer was marked as 18 km which is about 11 miles.

I walk 5 miles at least three days a week with a friend. It takes us about 1 hour and 35 minutes. My favorite time of the week.

A little over 10 miles. DH and I went on a hike in Idaho around a lake. It was a 10 mile hike but we got a little turned around after our lunch break so I can probably add an extra mile to that.

I did the Komen For the Cure 3-Day in 2007. It was 20 miles for each day. Total = 60 miles. I still have blisters!

26.2 miles, twice--not including the walk to the start or the walk from the finish. That nudges it to probably about 27 miles.

 

[SAHDad]

31.5 (once), 31 (a couple of times), 26.2 (10 or 12 times), ignoring walks to/from the finish line. I was thinking about trying for a 50-miler this year, but it won't happen until 2012.

I am hoping to hit 40 on my next trail ultra though.

 

[canadianjovigirl]

20 km used to be my regular jog length, but that was when i was younger and in shape............hope to one day be back in shape and do a marathon in my lifetime..........but that may just be my over achiever tendancies

 

[Sarah_Rose]

26.2 miles. While pregnant.

 

[indimom]

The most I've run (well, jogged) is 6 miles. It took an hour and five minutes.
A friend and I did the Couch to 5K program this year. Prior to that I had never run more than a mile in my life. Our goal now is a mini-marathon (13 miles) in Indianapolis in May.

 

[Alsobrook]

Boy Scouts who earn the Hiking merit badge used to have to do at least one 20 mile hike in a single day. Maybe they still do. In our instance, the Scout Master misread the map.....we hiked 27.4 miles.

And the well at the end was contaminated.

Hey there, fellow ex-Heidelberger! Mrs. Tex and I spent three years in Heidelberg in the late 1970's when she was stationed at the 130th Station Hospital. We volksmarched with the Heidelberg Wandering Club -- it was the American armed forces club there. (I was 2md Vice President for a year or so, and yes, it was spelled that way on my business card.) We'd frequently do two 42k walks on a weekend.

Longest walk -- we don't run unless something VERY BIG is chasing us -- was one badly-measured marathon that was right at 50k.

 

[TnTsParty]

The furthest I have run/waked at one time is 26.2 miles not counting the walk to the start line and the walk to the bus after (which has to add another 2 miles or more) Did that 3 times and 2 times I ran/waked 39.3 miles in 2 days when I did the Goofy Race and Half Challenge.

I've walked in the walk for life- a cancer fundraiser- at Freehold raceway. I walked on and off all and all night- I think the race track is a 1/2 mile. So
I would guess the total mileage of at least 15 miles- luckily we are allowed to camp in the middle of the track and are able to eat and rest and have a few cold refreshments

 

[MIGrandma]

10 miles - walking in the CROP walk (don't ask me what it stands for, it's been so long ago I don't remember but it's a charity).

I don't run or jog, but do enjoy walking.

 

[Buckalew11]

13.1 miles in the Disney 1/2 marathon, my first race ever! I'm not a runner, wasn't real prepared (my dad died of cancer the November before the January race), and my DH signed me up without my "OK." But I finished and had a good time.

DH has done the Goofy many times, many other marathons and has completed the Ironman (140.6 miles of swimming, biking, running). That was a HUGE accomplishment.

 

[pixiechick]

17 miles.

I had run a couple of half marathons and was considering a full so I kept training. Never did do the marathon!
