Correction-thats 12,756 kilometers. Looking for an answer that states relative size.

Earth is about 8000 miles in diameter no matter how fast you go. The size is fixed and has nothing to do with speed.
Restate your question.

Lemme see what you're trying to get at here ...
If Earth is k = 120,756 miles in diameter, then its circumference is that number times p = pi, in miles. If you walk at 4 mph, then it takes you pk/4 hours to walk around the earth.
Now, if you travel at 700 mph, and take the same time to circumnavigate, the circumference of Earth is 700 (pk/4) = 175 pk, and the diameter is 175k.
Relatively, then, the diameter is 175 times larger. That works out to 175 x 120,756 = 21,132,300 miles.

You really need to restate the question.
If the Earth has a 120,756 mile diameter (which it doesn't), that is its diameter. It would take you 30189 hours to walk that distance (1257 days). At 700 mph it would take you roughly 7 days.

the earth's diameter does not change with the speed at which you circle it.
I think you may need to rephrase your question
