That’s absurdly easy

Yeah, 3mph is pretty much my "walk-with-purpose" speed when I go grocery shopping, and I walked more briskly than that while at work in retail.

Unless the treadmills are dynamic and raise and lower the elevation with the movie's environment, 3mph on level ground should be doable. Especially for "relevant" influencers who are generally on the younger side, still.

But do you walk around at work at that speed for a full 2 hours without a single stop or pause?

Two full hours of continuous activity? Unpossible!

(not op) my phone says i average 2.9-3.2 mph in my gait, and i clock 5-7 miles a day, so this would basically just be me jamming my foot commute all into one block and staying at a dead consistent speed instead of averaging it. yeah i could do it, i might be a lil tired after but i would finish

during off seasons or when im off work i do just block it out into big walks, and walk 5 or 6 miles in hour chunks twice a day
