I think it is extremely improbable. While an army of Dragaerans might make it, historic forced marches by humans end up at maybe 45 miles in a day, and never extend over the period of a week. The Marine Corps figures on 4 kph (2.5 mph) for marching speed, and anything over 32 km (20 mi) in a day is considered a forced march. The distance is extended by extending the time on the march, meaning that 24 hours would make 96 miles. That might be done one time, but not for over a week! -- Regards, Pete pgranzeau at cox.net
