I love to walk, I think people should walk more, but I'm baffled by the logic(?) when the author writes,

> Walking twelve miles takes about three and a half hours. Most people don’t have that time, not people with kids, commutes, and full time jobs. A more realistic goal is around seven miles, which takes about two hours.

Maybe they mean spread out over the course of the day?

I think the idea is to walk for a longer time rather than in chunks to engage in deeper thinking. If the purpose is fitness, then I agree it can be spread out over the course of the day. Little breaks in the middle also help in thought process but for me it usually leads to focussing only on the immediate problem at hand without allowing the thought process to meander a bit so as to gain a different perspective.
