I do the same when I'm making
my point...

But I do welcome the discussion. Lets just keep it grounded to what is physically possible. Will and motivation have not a darn thing to do with muscles and the ability to run lengthy distances.

I found
here that one Andy Jones ran 100 miles in 12 hours 5 minutes and 43 seconds. The list does not state whether he was a human, dwarf or elf.
I may have this wrong, but was it four days from the 'burial of Boromir' to the meeting of Eomer and about 45 leagues or 135 miles (I searched the Encyclopedia of Arda and the Barrow Downs for sources)? Now, I can run about 2 miles per day, and by then either I've come upon better options or the pursuit has given up, but,
Sauron the White, you are the runner and so would know if it were possible for a non-average runner to run 34 miles a day for four days.
