Fifteen miles in 2.5 to 3 hours is between 5 and 6 miles per hour. That is a run, not a walk. 4 miles an hour is a very fast walk. Some of the facts look wrong here, especially if there are intersections etc.

Yeah that is what raised my eyebrow too. 15 miles is more than a half marathon.

Crap, just riding a $20 beach cruiser he got at a garage sale would cut his commute in less than half. Something stinks.

Yeah. That's what I thought. I think the story is mixed up. I think they are saying his round trip mileage is 15 miles That would make sense, 7 or 8 miles each way. That's like a 2 to 2.5 hour walk each way. On a bike, it would be nothing, a half hour more or less each way.

When I was in training about age 60, I could walk at five miles an hour for an hour. It is very fast walking. I did it because I had an injury, and could not run.

At the same level of fitness, I could run four miles in half an hour. 15 miles is a lot to do every day, walking or running.

I suspect some exaggeration of the distance.

It is not impossible, but you should have a shower facility at the other end.

There’s nothing for employee morale like hiring a mentally ill manager... Actually, I think I’ve worked for a few of those in the past.
