AboutScott Demaree Expertise I can answer questions about training, physiology, nutrition, technique, equipment and injury prevention. My background is not medical, so I will not be able to answer detailed questions about injury treatment. However, during 30 years of endurance exercise I have had a few injuries so I feel qualified to talk about things that have worked for me and others.
Experience I have been a long distance runner since 1978 and took up racewalking in 1982. More recently, I have worked as a certified personal trainer helping people with a wide range of exercise needs. Last year, I coached several people to successfully finish the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk in Dallas (60 miles in three days).
Organizations American College of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise, National Science Teachers Association
Publications Journal articles associated with my graduate work with me as the primary author were published in the Journal of Nutrition, Acta Physiologica Scandanavica. Additionally, I co-authored the chapter on exercise metabolism in ACSM's Resource Manual for Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription, 4th Edition. Finally. I co-authored a book for beginning marathon runners (Marathoning 101).
Education/Credentials I have recent Master's degrees in Exercise Science from Wichita State University and Nutrition from Texas A&M University.
Awards and Honors I won national championships in the 1986 100-Kilometer Racewalk and the 1989 24-Hour Run.

Question i walk 100 every day on my treadmill how many miles is that
Answer If you mean you walk for 100 minutes, we can estimate how far you go. A single estimate may be quite a bit off, so I will give you three possibilities.
The only way you will know for sure, if your treadmill does not give you speed, is to go to standard track, which is about a quarter mile per lap. Time yourself walking 4 laps at the same effort you use on your treadmill. That gives you your pace per mile. Divide that into 100 minutes to get the number of miles on the treadmill.
Here are the estimates. A typical "strolling" walk speed may be 24 minutes per mile. Moderate effort could be about 19 minutes per mile, and fast walking starts at about 15 minutes per mile. So strolling would get you 4.1 miles, moderate walking would get you 5.2 miles and fast walking is about 6.6 miles in 100 minutes. That is quite a range, so I urge you to time yourself on a standard track. If your mile pace on the track is 18:30, for example, you would be getting 5.4 miles in 100 minutes.
