How much faster is jogging than walking? I reckon 9.5 hours would be comfortable pace to walk it

Bugger! it seems we've bitten off a bit more than we can chew perhaps?? 
It was I that asked Steve to investigate the lap speed for a push bike. Myself & my step dad (Steve Pullan) were discussing “old times” at the TT & recalled the day that my brother Lee (Pullan) had disappeared from the paddock – he was 13 at the time – he wondered back to the tent later in the afternoon having “done a lap” – on his BMX! – Anyhoo – we thought we might have a go ourselves this year – my prep has been to buy a new bike (50th birthday prezzie to myself) and also cut out sugar from my coffee. Mr Pullan has also started training in ernest – the dog now gets 3 walks a day rather than 2, oh, he also oiled his chain & adjusted the Sturmey Archer gears so that all 3 work! We propose to start bright & early?! on Friday 31st May – if it’s not blowing a hooley & all snow has melted – other than that, nothing else left to do is there? – will look out for the thread developing that relates to “how many pubs around the circuit” - it may end up being a better idea trying to confirm the total

I was thinking of running the course but not in 1 go!! I thought about doing it in a few runs over the fortnight,
10 min miles would do as an overall average as I hate hills!!!
Most weeks I try 3 runs 1 of 10 miles, 1 of 7 and 1 of about 5 so that's 22 miles done.
I reckon it should only take 6hrs 10!!
Anyone up for it and anyone want to drop me of and wait for me 6-10 miles up the road!!
I dont really know the course that well part from maybe the mountain section would be a short and sweet run
