> there are ultra marathons where people walk 5000 km and [...] the world walking record is 175 km in 24 hours.

Is that right? That's 685 days of continuous walking at the world record speed.

I screwed up the math. It's 28.6 days at the world record speed. I multiplied by 24 unnecessarily. Still a long time, but a lot more reasonable (and it agrees with your records).
