How Many Miles A Man Walks In A Lifetime
A calculation in which daily walking distance determines lifetime miles. Two miles daily x 30 years equals about 21 900 miles. three miles equals 32 850. five miles equals 54 750 by age 30 and 109 500 by age 60. The earth’s equator is 24 899 miles, so five miles daily would circle it four times with miles to spare.
