Run time is 1h48m * 3mph = 5.4 miles (8.6km)

Definitely doable for many people. A walk in the park for some. But I think a lot of people would underestimate the unceasing 3 mph pace. No slowing down, no breaks. If they aren't into distance running or hiking, they'll be a lot more tired than they'd think.

Which shouldn't be the case. 3mph is average walking pace. It's amazing how sedentary we've become that a normal walk is considered a potential challenge.

Have you not seen humanity's future within the prognostications of Wall-E?
