Going for a walk

[1more]

How many of you actually just go for a walk, I’m not inclined to just put on my clothes and go for a walk but I wish I could.

Yes I do it

I took up walking in the hope of recovering from some weird undiagnosed mystery illness that i was struggling with.

800 meters or so was the best I could do 18 months ago. Slowly built up to an unthinkable 5 k steps this summer. Ditched all meds the docs prescribed..... suffered for a week or two.....

I now aim for a minimum of 10 k steps a day, regularly do 17k with my personal record being 22k. I credit walking with my recovery.
What apps do you lot use?

I bought an Amazfit Verge watch mainly for when me and the boy are out on the bikes and use their own Zepp app (I didn't need all the bells that the wifes Garmin had and this more than does the trick), it links to Strava as well so you can track with your mates

Strava has plenty of walking challenges and it gives you an incentive to get out walking

Anywhere that is under 30 minutes walk I will walk to and not take bus/car. (Not using public transport at the minute) Luckily most of the stuff I need is in 30 minutes walk of my home. Me and missus talk most when we are out walking. Just make sure you have right clothes for the weather.

At home my daughter is glued to her phone and you cant get a conversation out of her. Take her out for a walk and she talks.

I love a stroll.

Walk 2mile on my lunch and then either run or walk 4 mile after work. Working from home can be monotonous so need to get out the house.

I do it regularly, always look to go down by the river as it pretty quiet normally. Great to get a bit exercise and helps me think actually.

There's a canny little coffee hut open at Cox Green on the River, ideal for a refuel

Normally go a 17km stroll each day, down to Hampton Court or up to Weybridge,also do solo walking holidays in the alps, pyrenees, and himalayas.

Heard that's supposed to be good

This is the thing I don’t get though. Did you just get up this morning and get ready and go out for a walk. No destination in mind and no end goal other than being out on the walk.

Most times I just make it up as I go if I am local within the village area, otherwise I tend to stick to a route

Not often I'll go for a walk for the sake of going for a walk, but I had a socially distanced stroll with a mate from mine up to Silksworth then through Tunstall to Ryhope beach, up the coast a bit to Hendon, then past Backhouse and Barnes parks back home again.

Forgot to wear my GPS watch so it didn't even count. Pointless.

 

[Charmless Man]

I prefer to roll everywhere, forward rolls mind like a Droideka.

 

[Cheesy Feet]

I’ve been walking along the seafront since the virus malarkey started..just to get out the house really..it’s canny boring like.

I sometimes will go for a walk, but mostly go for an offroad bike ride to exercise the dogs.
Not my dogs, i don't have a dog. But i see it as a service for dog walkers to have their out of control dogs to get a bit of sprint work in chasing cyclists.

Mrs R walks miles though, and is a keen dog walker.

Don't just head down the beach or obvious places
Look on maps for the old raily lines or woodland or cliff paths
Find some great stuff

Plotaroute is a great tool for this...

I have two dogs and live rurally. The walk through woods and fields clears my mind.

At home my daughter is glued to her phone and you cant get a conversation out of her. Take her out for a walk and she talks.

Mine have always opened up on dog walks when things have been troubling them.

 

[lurker]

Not just lazy lol just back, chest stomach pains

I need to mate I can't describe I just find it a chore

It’s the time of year mate and all the dog shit on the paths

After nights when I take the dog out I always see the same auld fella at 7.20 in the morning, out with his stick in all weather's.

Credit to him, but not sure I could be arsed tbh

That’s a scarecrow man

I want to get back up to a few 60Km walks a month,good way of keeping fit with the gyms shut
