It's no wonder my feet hurt

As some may know, I work part time in a supermarket (been there one year next month). A colleague has one of those Apps on his phone that works out how far you have walked. He works more hours than I do but we worked out that I walk approximately thirty miles per week (in two and a half days) - that's 120 miles per 4 week period or 1,560 miles per year. I could have walked to Bulgaria.

It's no wonder my feet hurt.

You could hop on one leg until painful, then hop on the other.. That way you could halve the distance for each foot. Simple

Try putting your feet in a sling, that might help.

Lightweights, 7400 constant paces per hour are achievable, anyone who claims more (hour on hour) is in walking cloud cuckoo land.

Especially the deliver rollers full up with squashed cheescakes and flattened pasties.

Don't forget I'm normally carrying 50lbs of spuds as well.

I will not be drawn on specifics.
