>>1822084average speed is 2.5mph walking. 80 miles / 2.5 = 32 hours of nonstop walking.
My pace hiking, with 25-35lbs of gear in already established trails is 3 to 3.5mph if i'm feeling it that day. 80 miles / 3.5 = 22 hours of hiking.
Even the best hikers doing fkt (fastest known times) do not hike 80 miles in a day. 20-30 is a realistic number, if you spend 10 hours a day hiking you can get about 50 miles in but thats running sub 10lbs loads and you have been hiking for weeks every day.
