We should do a walk challenge.

How bet setting a goal for each week, either start lower & keep increasing it? What do you think?

It's funny that I ran into this post. I wanted to do a challenge like this for October. but I was just going to call it a miles challenge. So if you walk, do the elliptical, stairmaster (actually tells you steps and distance), ride the bike, row machine, if you're counting steps using a pedometer. We can check in daily or weekly or however frequently we can. At the beginning of the week, set up your goal and then see if we make that goal by the end of the week. then I was thinking for an added challenge, that each week, we increase our miles by atleast 10 percent.

I am shooting for about 15 miles a week, but half of them will probably come from biking, the other half split between treadmill, stairmaster and elliptical, occasionally the row machine.

I hope this idea catches on. I will post it in my newsfeed to see if I can get some of my friends on board too.

I do 10 miles a week, walking to/from work and aim to do around 7-10 extr at weekends. To be honest, I'm little space constrained (I use same routes) so may be try to up my pace? With fitness walking I average 3.8mph.

Definitely worth trying to improve, especially before the winter sets in!

Maybe we should do a most ADDED miles, so we can get some newbies in here too. So if someones only walking 1 mile a week now , but someone else is walking 10, it could be whoever adds the most to their walks. I know that seems a lot for some of you who are already walking a bit, but then at least its about stepping it up a notch? What do you think?

I'm in, I like about who ever increases the most miles. But should we do this for weekly instead of monthly? So are we starting this Oct 1st?

Ok apparently I'm a little ticker retarded how did you do that on your ticker? lol. I like the idea of like a weekly check in, and then we could do like a monthly total. lol

I just made my miles ticker! I won't start it officially until October 1st. Shooting for 15 miles a week.

Right, I generally do 10 miles a working week (so 40ish per month), so I've set my target to 80 miles for October, and will increase that to 100 for November, etc.

Count me in - I intend to walk 1500 miles in the next year xxx

Awesome, I'm in!
I am generally going about 8 miles per week in a mixture of biking and walking. I'm hoping to triple that!

Ok I got my ticker ready... I've never been able to figure out how to update them though. Do you have to make a whole new ticker each time?

Hope everyone is geared up and ready to start walking friday! :drinker: :glasses:

I never thought I'd be so excited for October to come. I've got my ticker all set up, my route all planned...and now I'm like an impatient kid. haha

I'm a little worried about getting in my walks on the weekends. We travel a lot for work on Sat & Sundays, and guaranteed am working all day on Saturday, usually from 7am-till after midnight sometimes. :0/ Such a bummer.

I'm in! I'm currently sans car (by choice!) and I'm walking a lot.

I walk to and from work each day so I have 10 miles a week without even noticing. I'd like to walk 15-20 each week! I'm going to make it a point to walk to the grocery store instead of taking a ride and extend my walks home each day.

GOAL: 60 miles for the month of October!

Good luck everyone!
