Why not just convert it to speed? 80km in 16 hours equals 5km/h or whatever that is in burger units, which is a normal walking speed. (Probably walked closer to 6km/h because of breaks and stuff)
People who run a hundred miles in under 24 hours exist. I know about a dozen people who have done that. The fastest 100 mile run is 10 hours 51 minutes. That's a 6:30 pace. Walking 50 miles in a day is on a lower rung of impressive.
Yeah this really isn’t that amazing. Having walked 8 hours on steep incline up a mountain, it would be considerably easier doing 14 hours on flat, which is how long it would take at my regular walking speed. And there’s so many people that have done much more intensive stuff.
Yea it's actually a normal, maybe slightly quick speed. The pace is nothing special for anyone not morbidly obese.
Walking that much in a day is pretty cool though. I've hit 50k steps on a few hikes and usually get to 25k when going somewhere like Disneyland so walking 2x-4x those is awesome. Although my 50k steps are on uneven surfaces and with some hefty elevation changes.
Also you mentioning varying stride length is an argument against using steps as a metric because walking the same number of steps but half the step size would half the work done without reflecting in the number of steps done.
