Here's what i could get: PHB 261 Speed per Day Player characters can sustain a normal walking pace for 10 hours of travel a day without tiring out. The Dungeon Master’s Guide explains what happens if you travel for more than 10 hours. Ordinary people can’t walk for more than 6 or 8 hours in a day, so their travel rate is more like 15 to 25 miles per day. PHB 261 Speed per Hour Your speed per hour on the Base Exploration Speed table assumes a walking pace. You can move overland at twice this speed, but it’s hard to sustain that pace. Rules in the Dungeon Master’s Guide cover what happens if you push yourself too hard. Though i couldn't find anything in the DMG directly addressing this, the closest i've found relating to exertion after 8 hours is the following: DMG 59 Environmental Danger: The Endurance skill determines how well a character can withstand such dangers. Every eight hours within an area of environmental danger, the character must succeed on an Endurance check. Each time a character fails, he loses one healing surge. If a character has no healing surges left when he fails a check, he loses hit points equal to his level. The adventure sets the DC for the Endurance check. Here are some useful benchmarks. When designing your own environmental dangers, rely on the Difficulty Class and Damage by Level table and your common sense. Condition Endurance               DC Severe weather                        20 High altitude                             21 Extreme altitude                       26 Cold                                          22 Frigid cold                                 26 Heat                                         22 Stifling heat                              26 Pervasive smoke or ash           26 Pervasive necromantic energy 31
