10 miles is a killer. I've managed it once or twice. I've been trying to get up to that for weeks now. Usually manage around 5 miles at work (NHS) but it's been around 2 weeks since my last 10 miler.

unknown

Ten miles is awesome! My personal "best" since I started tracking is just a bit over 9 miles (which FitBit said was 20,895 steps), attained last month & all outside. I was tired, too

I do my best thinking while walking.

It's weird, I can't think when I'm walking, if I'm really pushing myself hard enough. It's like my body's working too hard or something. My mind will drift, but I can't really focus. My mind pretty much empties.

Well done OP, great achievement. Walking is so under rated.

this! I walk to work every morning (10k) and then 60min during lunch break and in the evening (I have a dog)...I see so much improvement in my posture and my butt

I walk in excess of 20K steps per day and 90% of it is indoors, and not by choice.

I'm a caregiver for my elderly mom who can't be left alone. I don't yet own a treadmill (saving up for one) so these steps are all done walking a circuit in my house. One circuit = 30 steps, but I let my Fitbit keep track of it. It's mindnumbingly boring, but I do solve all the world's problems while I walk, and currently the only other option that's open to me is to be a couch potato which is what got me here in the first place.

My walking grants me around an addition 1,000 calories per day. I will generally eat back no more than 20% of these since I'm post-menopausal, have Hashimoto's disease and my metabolism sucks. LOL.

I've lost 30lbs in three months just walking and eating right. I weigh and log every morsel that passes my lips.

Walking totally rocks!

I walked 10 minutes yesterday. Mind you, I had a knee scope about a month ago and heart issues about 3 weeks ago. I think I'm doing good.

You're doing *very* good!

When I started, I couldn't walk for five minutes without being winded.

unknown

Great job! My best was almost 6 miles, and I literally got home and laid on the floor for about an hour.

unknown

I am still new at this, but I actually don't count how far I have walked, I count the calories I have burned. Yes, using a treadmill! I walk about 40-45 min a day, plus have been doing about 35 min of yard work a day too.

You are!

And congrats OP! I also consider your four milers on the treadmill an accomplishment because I can't stand the thing.

unknown

Congratulations OP!! I did 5.25 miles at the city park on Saturday and found out that my body wasn't quite ready for it. I've been doing a 30 minute walk several days a week during my lunch break for the last couple of weeks and I'm really feeling a difference in myself. Over 10 miles...that's in my future. Not the NEAR future though!!

unknown

Just logged back on after 2 days!! The big walk made me kinda sore . so I took it easy for 2days.. Going to a class tonight with one of my friends. We will be doing ab work.. That ought to mix it up.. Need to get that bike out.. I have so much I want to do..and want this FAT OFF ME !!
IT takes time I know... Ugggggg

unknown

PS: thanks for all the positive thoughts on the walk....

Walkers usually measure their steps. How many steps is that for you?

I don't count steps either, not for deliberate walking anyway. When I walk for exercise it's about pace and distance.

OP - 10 miles is great!

unknown

i did 9 miles a couple of months ago, that was 22.5k steps for me, hips and knees were painful for days!

Well done OP

unknown

Impressive! I walk about 4 to 4.5 a day and I usually do it on the treadmill. My treadmill trick is finding a really good TV series and watching it on netflix or amazon. Keeps me entertained and my eyes off the clock. I also use a towel to cover the whole treadmill screen so I don't focus on my time too much.

unknown

Good job with the mileage. Walking is an amazing way to relax and exercise. The most I've walked is a little over 10 miles when I was trying to complete the 100 mile walk/run/bike challenge. I love walking on the treadmill and outside. Walking outside seems to be the most therapeutic for me, but I love cranking up the incline on the treadmill and walking while watching one of my favorite shows. I prefer the treadmill because I burn way more calories with the added incline than walking my local terrain. Happy walking.

Normal. I got that when I started running too... then I started being able to focus my mind a little bit. But yeah, I love walking too because it gives me time to think!

And 10 miles is impressive. I only went over that once in 2 years, 12 miles in NYC last January when we had -30 windchills, good times, lol. I actually really want to sign up for that 25 miles walk in October but I can't imagine raising the necessary $1500 and it would cost too much to sleep there, so I'm sadly not doing it.
