30 years back, my father walked 23 miles or 34 kilometers to his office when he was age 47, since that day there was public transport strike.

Have a look at my website.

I do not think anyone can walk 34 km. This is a far cry. Are your feet firm enough to walk so long? But if this is true, I think your father has a very good health, toughness. Take care of your dad, to enjoy more.

It's true

You certainly can walk that far, where I am from they do an annual walk of 28 miles for charity. It takes some just 6 hours to complete.

Recently there was an article about a man who walked 11 miles daily just to get to his wark which started at 4 am. He would do it  it for 7 months, because he needed to feet two his daughter. When his colleagues got to know about it, they bought him a car. I think that's pretty inspiring.

Yup, I found it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5386345/Coworkers-buy-car-man-walks-five-miles-work.html

No offence, but that really isn't a far distance.  Humans in hunter gatherer times would usually walk more than that every single day.

Look at age 47

Wow! what a desire to work!

Sometimes sports/games looks like waste of time and money. People do wonders in real life.

All those fitness drama, yoga, Protein powder, sports drink etc..

My father was a simple man who would eat home cooked food.

offence, but that really isn't a far distance.  Humans in hunter gatherer times would usually walk more than that every single day

Few years back, I threw/tossed a 750 ml water bottle 60 feet high. See my video below.....

Jesus and here i am cant even walk 100 meters to the store to save my own life.

Respect and much support.

Really he is a great man at the age of 47 it is not the simple task and he will do many wonders in future.

34 kms! Wow! At the age of 47, that is really something. I don't think I can do that. I might collapse.

My father had blisters on his feet after walking 34 kilometers that day.

is there a meaning to this story?

Join gymnasium (gym). They will teach you exercises that will give you strength to walk and build some muscles. Speak to a dietitian for the foods which you should eat. Start eating tomatoes.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ooooooooooh a man running on a thorny ground if he doesn't chase something, something is chasing him.. There must be a reason behind the man that walked 34 kilometers at the age of 47 to his work...

To some people, sometimes sports/games looks like waste of time and money. People do wonders in real life. It is really good for health,  in my area they use to do walk to live from one town to another

walking is always good and i think it is the main exercise.

I do not think any sportsperson [football, cricket, hockey, tennis, basketball, rugby etc..] can walk 35 kilometers at age 47.

hahaha i can't believe this. Oops is your Dad an allien? Am not trying to say what you are saying is wrong though or not true . I just can't believe that is possible to happen. There are quit few fitness guys who can do this but not that extent . I don't know but what you see only happens in movies ....Well maybe am gonna try to do the same and post my pictures here. Only hoping i won't die on the way ;D

My father never played sports. He would walk.

I'm sad because in the end your father's condition is like that, so how is't now? Can he still be able to do activities?

That was 30 years back. The story says a man cannot walk more than 20 kilometers at one time.

It is amazing if you can do that, is it not too crazy

Why do I find this hard to believe? Forty seven kilometers is a lot of distance! My problem is not with being able to walk such a distance. But really, the issue is that he was going to WORK. How late would he turned up? Or did he plan the trip and left well ahead of time? Still, imagine how fatigued he must have been after walking that sorta distance!!! How much of the day's work would he succeed in doing? I guess it's just one of those tales elders tell us ;D

My father's pictures/photos will scare the Taliban   ;)

He deserved to win an award for that. He might come down to Africa to claim the award.

 science has proven that some things can be possible through the trace of evolution, it might be that your dad has evolved from a great stamina source.   

How did he have enough time in the day? Walking speed is about 5KMh, so it would take nearly 7 hours each way, then an 8 hour day at work, and what 2 hours sleep?

I agree, he should have stayed home that day for public transport strike but now we know what he was capable of. I mean he walked 34 kilometers at age 47

Sounds about right 5miles / hour. I walk frequently about 8 miles at least twice a month.

If you trained up for it you can walk that far with good shoes, but if your shoes rub in the slightest or your not ready then your going to get blisters a long time before your done.

The distance is not even very small, but a person is able to pass more serious distances!

All those money wasted in sports, fitness. $50 or $100 ticket. Football king "Ronaldo" offered $300 million to move to China

Ronaldo rejected €300,000,000 China move with €100m salary - Jorge Mendes

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent says the superstar rejected an offer from a Chinese Super League club that would have paid him over €100 million ($105,581,500) per year. Jorge Mendes confirmed to Sky Sports Italia in an interview released on Thursday night that the unnamed club were willing to pay Real Madrid a transfer fee of €300 million ($316,744,500).

"From China, they've offered €300m to Real Madrid and more than €100m per year to the player," Mendes said."But money is not everything; the Spanish club is his life."
