I've always thought that it's a form of animal cruelty to have people stuck in offices forced to sit through all meetings etc. when many 1 on 1 or other small meetings for creative purposes could be conducted while out walking.

Same here. I went from 2-5k to 15k, in some days even 20k steps per day. I incorporated walking into my daily habits. Before I would bike, take the subway. Now I simply walk. If there is a call, I dial in with no video.
Mid-sentence I thought you'd walk 15km per day. That was a brief moment of awe.

"Sit as little as possible; do not believe any idea that was not born in the open air and of free movement — in which the muscles do not also revel… Sitting still… is the real sin against the Holy Ghost." -Nietzsche In fact, he composed most of his works during long walks: "I would walk for six or eight hours a day, composing thoughts that I would later jot down on paper."

I walk 20km/day and do a 90min cardio/weights workout. No rest days. All comes down to conditioning and your baseline.

What's your pace when walking? Do you walk fast like you're going to some place? Or do you walk slower than your default walking speed?
My default walking speed is brisk but comfortable. I walk usually two to three hours per day, sometimes broken up across multiple walks but often in one go. According to my phone, my average pace is roughly 3.5mph (but I'm not sure how accurate that is). I also live in a hilly area and spend relatively little time on flat ground but hills don't seem to affect my walking pace nearly as much as they affect cycling pace…
This could be part of why work from home doesn't work for me. I missed having spacious work areas, given my crammed apartment unit. I can simulate the walking for travel to work but that comes in bursts at set times, unlike just walking within a building anytime I feel like it.
