24 blocks is not much to walk to work, is it?

[Turkish]

I am guessing I can walk that in about 10 minutes. How close am I?

Depends on how far apart the blocks are.

In what city?

24 blocks in 10 minutes seems optimistic, but I've never lived in a city.

If each block is 1/10th of a mile that's 2.4 miles.

In Washington D.C.
Hold on, about to post a map.

If you are in DC, buy a pass for the metro and use it. The 90+ degree days in the summer will kill you if you walk.

As others have said, it depends on how long each block is. Here in NYC, an average 24 block walk would be a bit over 20 minutes IMO

I used to walk about 10 blocks to campus.. It took 15 minutes. You need a bike.

2.4 mi

Woohoo! I was right!

Now why are you asking us how long it'll take you to walk 2.4 miles? I guarantee you it'll be a lot more than 10 minutes.

Not to mention that he'll be sweating like a pig by the time he gets there. B.O. FTL!

I'd say it'll take you more like 30 minutes.

Well, that says 7 minutes, so you're pretty close!

2.4 miles will probably take 45 minutes or so.

LOL, to be honest, I didn't even thought of looking at how many miles it is! Haha, I feel like an idiot. Thanks though.

20-30 mins

Impossible. 24 blocks is at least a couple miles I would think. So unless you are running and will be sweaty once you arrive, try twenty min.

PS even 20 min is a jog/walk.

Fat kids in HS used to take at least 9 min to do a mile.

 

[2Xtreme21]

A fast runner can make the trek in about 10 minutes in a near dead sprint the entire time. Any normal person walking I suspect will take 30 mins or so.

did you really just post your home address on ATOT?

 

[Kelemvor]

Of course, most people willing to walk 24 blocks are walking a bit faster than average. Still, a lot longer than 10 minutes...

 

[JulesMaximus]

I bike 10 miles to work one way so I vote yes.

 

[mchammer]

What about delays crossing the intersections??
