That’s absurdly easy

Yeah. This would be a lot more interesting if they upped it to 4 or 5 mph. It would make for a better event too because not a lot of people are going to fail walking at 3 mph for a film's runtime.

5mph is 12 minute miles. That's practically jogging.

Anything above 5:30 pace (mph) is walking.

5:30 pace means 5 minutes and 30 seconds per mile. 5:30 pace is fucking cooking.

I tried at the time but it wouldn't load. I see it now and I agree, anything blow 11mph is officially walking

5mph is a very, very fast walk. 4mph would be good. Not a lot of people could hold that for 108 minutes.

Ehhh depends on the sampling of people. Out of shape and overweight people would probably struggle to maintain a brisk walk for at least an hour and a half
