Walking/jogging/running for the furthest distance without supplies?

If you needed to get somewhere very far away in order to survive, no food or water – is walking better than jogging or running? Should you keep a fast pace or slow pace?

Hi!

So much would depend on your general level of health and activity prior to this.

As a 60 year old I would carry a 25kg lb pack for 20 km back in military training. Then I would probably do fast march/double march which is like a jog, followed with just walking as a rest phase.

Now I still play sports, but at 60, I would probably choose walking.

My 89 yo mom still walks 3 k most days (snow and ice stop her now)

do what you are used to, and good at.
