plodder:
(plural: ‘plodders‘; pronunciation: the letters ‘plo’ rhyme with the letters ‘plo’ in “plot”)
some plodders plodding along a long road
a person who walks slowly in a heavy footed manner; a slowspoke; a trudger; (in England — ‘slowcoach’)
a person who works slowly for long hours without much inspiration or enthusiasm, but comes up with the best work in the end; a slogger,
e.g.
I hate to go for a walk with my aunt; she is such a plodder it take her half an hour to walk to the swings!
Rosy is known to be the worst plodder, a slogger, among our science fair participants, but mark my words, she will come up with the best presentation.
