Between 10,000, and 50,000

A simple answer of 1 step / 1 second = 10800. This is quite a slow pace, and easily accounts for breathing.

You can count much master, but taking breathing into account is tricky.
It also depending on how audibly loud this needs to be...

I can count at a wisper while breathing out AND IN. try it:)
This way you can simultaneously count & breath.
While doing that, I can count 30 increments, in 10 seconds.
Thus (30 inc / 10 seconds) * (60 secs / 1 min) * (60 min / 1 hour) * 3 hours
= 32400.

That is a more tenuous pace than the first example, but still not as fast as possible. I'm sure it's easy to double that pace.
Asker's Rating:
• Most complete all round answer, well done.

Estimated at 24,000 and this would vary per person.

I counted for 60 seconds, not super fast, but not doing 1 mississippi etc. Then I multiplied that by 60 minutes and then by 3. Then I made a small deduction for the length. The pace would slow eventually after tiring. So It is only an estimate. Also different people count at different speeds.

Say you count in increments of 1 each second, you will hat 3600 in one hour because of 60 seconds per minute and 60 minutes per hour. (60 times 60 = 3600). So after three hours you'd count to 10,800 (3600 times 3)
