Mid-sentence I thought you'd walk 15km per day. That was a brief moment of awe.
I walk 20km/day and do a 90min cardio/weights workout. No rest days. All comes down to conditioning and your baseline.
does cycling count? walking hurts my back.
If you have the means, I'd probably recommend visiting a physical therapist, or a personal trainer who specializes in core strengthening.

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…
Where do you get time for this? If I were to try this, between work, travel and chores, I'd have zero time for anything else.

It’s the same thing with lifting weights or running. They are so monotonous and boring that I would much rather do hard physical labor or some sporting activity that gets mind going on some other activity.
Lately I've been walking 20 km per day (~12.5 mi). Takes at least 3.5 hours. I try not to listen to any audio -- I just let my mind wander. To step it up a notch, I put on a weighted backpack (i.e. ruck). I'm typically carrying 30 lbs, sometimes 50. This raises the heart rate and roughly doubles the caloric burn. Low injury risk, too. Michael Easter's book "Comfort Crisis" has a nice chapter on rucking. I just wish i…
That is some serious distance. I remember thinking I would be able to do at least 25-35 km per day, a few years ago when I walked parts of the camino de Santiago in Spain. Blisters and destroyed feet in just a few days, not ever reaching 30 km per day I think.. How long did it take you to get used to this kind of distance daily?
