> 5+ miles per shift

This really isn't that much. The average Disneyland visitor probably walks 5 miles per day. A nurse might walk 4 miles in a shift. I'd expect most people who aren't overweight would be able go adapt to 5 miles per day pretty quickly, and 10 is fairly doable.

What a bizarre comparison. Most people are pretty tired after visiting Disneyland. You also don’t do that 300 times a year.

They're completely untrained in it, though. You gain endurance pretty quickly, and the fact that most people can go from couch potato to 5 miles in a day and just feel pretty tired shows that distance isn't a big deal--we're just lazy.

Try doing that with 350 lbs bodyweight, though!

Seems a little low I just checked my phone and last time in commuted to our office in London I walked 2.5 miles.
