I swear this is true.....I notice it more on my long bike rides--a 20 mile ride around my town feels almost as long as an 80 mile ride to the ocean sometimes.... very interesting study.
Marginal Revolution: More familiar walks seem longer: "The
more times students had walked the route, the further they estimated
the journey to be. First year students, for example, estimated a
mile-long path to be around 1.24 miles on average, while third year
students stretched it to 1.45 miles. Crompton publishes his results in Environment and Behavior1."
