And doing that day in and dayout for a week with no rest? Don't see it.
Also not counting bad weather, no trails, etc...  Also I usually
go for the 20mi/day and 100mi/week, also provoding noone is wearing heavy
armor.  Kevin wore his mail for a day at a LARP, and was in a lot of
pain after doing it.  Wearing the stuff for days, hiking in bad boots(no
modern hiking boots around), bad food(less you have a priest around), etc..
you get the idea.  While adventuring types are tough and hardy folks,
being tough and hardy with bad or little rest for a week straight is
not easy or truely believable.

Now if you start adding in things like tireless walking or running, its
a different ball game entirely. =)  Then I can easily see keeping up
5mph for 60 miles a day in good weather.

That would be quite cool(us getting 5-6mo ahead when the jump comes).
