Great long distance walkers too. With some adaptation time, about anyone can walk about 30 km a day, for weeks. For proof, the tens of thousands of people of all fitness levels walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage every year.
Proud to say I accomplished that! My dad trained a fair bit. I did like 1 10km walk the week before we started, and I finished the 800kms with no real dramas, except the first day which was a massive climb. After 5-6 days my body was totally accustomed to the task at hand.
(Super irrelevant to the post but it was an awesome experience and I would advocate anyone to undertake it, regardless of your thoughts on religion. I am not religious but did find it spiritual in a way. I did it about 6 years ago and still think about it every week.)
Started with Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Roncesvalles? Yeah, it’s a bit silly to start with the biggest climb of the way, but I know many people do to start from France.

No I cannot, never again!
You know you want to start a new way.
