I walk laps around a park so it really doesn't matter but it's about .5 mile per lap( .45) so somewhere around 6 miles. I walk around 3 mph<br />don't mess up your feet anymore! extra weight isn't worth itMark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-1195633830748930742015-10-12T02:44:12.266-07:002015-10-12T02:44:12.266-07:00After doing a couple of these, I get a sense of ju...After doing a couple of these, I get a sense of just how heavy your pack is at 53lbs! Sure it sounds heavy, but actually doing one of these with a portion of that weight helps to put things into perspective! <br />We did 2 miles yesterday on the trails. The hubs had 21.5 lbs and I had 16 lbs. Took us 44 minutes to complete which includes a few stops for pictures or just to enjoy the fall foliage!<br /><br />When you state how many laps you do, what is that in mileage? Just curious. I would love to get up in mileage versus weight. Not sure if my feet would hold up to carrying more weight! I like the 16lbs, which is, no doubt a workout now, but would love to get that up to 4-6 miles.<br /><br />Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.com
