I watched the long walk and now I’m reading the book. I was wondering, how credible is the distance? It’s 300 to 400 miles. What would happen to your body on the way?

    The Appalachian Trail is about 2000 miles and a lot if people walk that. Worth a Google search. There are documentaries, memoirs, plenty of before/after photos, etc.

      They mean without stopping.

      If you’re unfamiliar with the Long Walk, it’s a story where a bunch of kids are in a contest to see who can walk the longest. If you stop walking, you get shot.
