So this is more of a parody one, and my charity walk isn’t a film, and wasn’t filmed. But anyway, I’m sure you can use your imaginative powers to suspend disbelief and indulge me with this goofy comparison post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Well, let’s get some brief descriptions out of the way. The Long Walk is a grim joint based on a Stephen King novel where a bunch of lads sign up to win a lot money plus a free request if they’re the final one standing. Basically, walk or die, as the tagline reads. If you’re a fan of that Hunger Games\/Squid Game kind of thing, you’ll know what to expect. And the 25k walk is a 25k walk I did last week for charity. So…some subtle differences there. But let’s get down to the important questions. Ten of them, to be precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How long is the walk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: Long, ok? It’s in the title, y’know? Indefinite. My 25k walk: Uh…25k.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How fast do you have to walk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: 3 miles per hour My 25k walk: I think we set ourselves a target, but I can’t remember exactly what it was. Informative, no? \u30d8(* \u3002* \u30d8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How long will the walk take?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: However long it takes for everyone else to die My 25k walk: Including all our breaks, it took us around 7 hours. Thanks for asking. \u00b4\uff65\u1d17\uff65`<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happens if you stop walking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: You get a few warnings, and then you get shot and killed. My 25k walk: Well, you catch your breath for a mo and then you carry on moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How hilly is the terrain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: Generally pretty flat, by the looks of it. Apart from that one super steep hilly bit to raise narrative tension. My 25k walk: A bit of up and down walking in the first portion, but pretty much hella flat for the final 10k. (\u2500\u203f\u2500)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there anyone there to help with motivation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: Yes, a bunch of men ready to shoot you with guns if you don’t walk fast enough. My 25k walk: Yes, there are multiple trek guides to help you out along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there clear signage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: Not really. I guess the men following the lads in a tank are a form of signage? My 25k walk: Yes, everything’s clearly signed and legible. \u0669(^\u15dc^ )\u0648 \u00b4-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are there snacks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: Only if you bring ’em My 25k walk: As a matter of fact, yes. There’s an awesome pit stop area where you can fill your body with glorious sugary treats. ( \u0d26\u0d4d\u0d26\u0d3f \u02d9\u15dc\u02d9 )<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you get some expositional flashbacks about your past life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: Sure you do. My 25k walk: No, you don’t. But you do get to look some nice scenes of nature. And you get sore thighs and glutes at the end. Wonderful. \u2661\u2e1c(\u02f6\u02c3 \u1d55 \u02c2\u02f6)\u2e1d\u2661<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there a prize at the end?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Walk: Yes. Lots of money and one personal request. My 25k walk: Also yes. A cool medal and a nice free hot meal. Swell. ( \u02f6\u02c6\u15dc\u02c6\u02f5 )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
