When you do the math I average 3 mph for 3 hours going between benches in different laboratories plus at least another mile of moving slow so that's 10 miles per day 5 days a week.
Wears out the sneakers in 3 months. People give me a hard time since I keep wearing them an additional 3 months ;)
Compromised sneakers like this don't damage my feet, my feet damage the shoes.
One afternoon per week I put back on the quads and skate the same old way. It can get hot in Texas, I wait until the temperature drops below 96 F and I'm fine.
I go about 10 mph for one hour so that's another 10 miles that day. Even after a 12 hour day I look forward to skating, it's just still fun at "retirement" age. After warming up for the first 45 min, then I fly over 30 mph for a few choice blocks before the last recovery mile or two where I cool back down.
After 15 minutes in the shade I like to be able to go into a nice place and nobody thinks I've been sweating or anything.
Certainly not a speed skater, I don't even lubricate my wheels every year, I'm trying to get more exercise in a shorter period of time after all. So the wind doesn't bother me either.
Probably more endurance and sustainability, it has taken me decades after all, and I'm still going in circles or I would never make it back to my vehicle.
