Here is something I think I could do....

There was a kid in my high school who competed in world championship level race walking. At an assembly they had him race walk against one of the sprinters from the track team and he kept up. It was interesting to see. Not sure if that's the same as heel and toe walking from the 1800s.

It's essentially the same, heel and toe distance events back then did allow a bit of jogging to prevent cramping.

Or there's just plain walking....Like this guy who has a card in t218
