Vinod Bajaj applied for a Guinness World Record for what he calls Earth Walk (Representational).

A 70-year-old man, born in Punjab and based in Ireland for over 40 years, has applied for a Guinness World Record after completing what he calls his Earth Walk covering over 40,075 kilometres or the equivalent of the circumference of the Earth in under 1,500 days without stepping out of his home city of Limerick.

I continued walking and by the end of year two, I walked a cumulative total of 15,200 km and I found that in fact I walked more than the circumference of the moon (10,921 km).

The difference between the Mars Walk and Earth Walk was approximately 19,000 km and I knew it was not going to be easy.

I continued walking with an aim to complete my ultimate goal, he says, in reference to his Earth Walk, which he completed on September 21.

His application with the Guinness World Record is currently under process as they assess if his walk covering the equivalent of the Earth's circumference in 1,496 days and 54,633,135 steps makes the cut.

Having run through 12 pairs of shoes, at an average three per year, during the course of his Earth Walk, his central advice is to invest in a good pair of walking shoes and socks.
