I watched the long walk and now I’m reading the book. I was wondering, how credible is the distance? It’s 300 to 400 miles. What would happen to your body on the way?

If you use the book’s pace of 4 MPH, which is actually what many people would consider a brisk walk, 300-400 miles would take 75-100 hours, or around 3-4 days. That’s a long time to stay up without sleeping, let alone being physically active the entire time. I’d guess someone who is really fit might be able to do half of that before collapsing, with most people probably not making past the first 24 hours.
Someone who was using drugs or doping might be able to do it, but even then I’d be skeptical.
