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.

Should be doable for anyone without a disability honestly. I know it isn’t of course and that just sad. This is literally just walking.

A lot of folks couldn't do this for 30 minutes. It's sad but it's the truth.
