Nice one Vince.

If you enjoy it then try a little further each day.

Walking at a brisk pace for an hour will be better than trying to jog for half an hour.

Find some scenic routes, get out into a natural setting, it does wonders for physical and mental health.

Plenty of decent walking routes then? Along the river?

Yeah not too bad but we go more around the houses and try to mix it up

It's something I need to do more of. If I'm out walking I'm not being lazy or eating.

 

[Vincemac]

We keep it up 3-4 miles a day
although fine weather walkers

It's as good an excercise as any.

I try and take in a walk a run and the gym, alternate each day between activities.

Love it me, my highest step count was 30,000

I find walking 5 miles is much better for your core than say jogging 5 miles, , just need to get some good podcasts

Vigorous bucking is better iirc.

Averaged roughly 11,500 steps a day during August, walked a total of 190 miles. Looking like I’ll be doing a little less this month though - only getting around 10,500 a day. Mainly down to our weekend walks not quite being as far.

In The Dark podcast is a good one, ive listened to it when ive been walking, you do get so engrossed in it that it helps squeeze some extra mileage out of your walk, about a bloke that has been convicted of murder and has had his convictions overturned 6 times but keeps getting retried, its series two that ive listened to... well worht a listen and thats not my normal type of podcast

When the gyms closed in lockdown I started doing more walking, been up and about in the lakes a few times. Planning on a 14mile hike in the Pennines this weekend climbing up Cross Fell and Great Dun Fell.
