    What am doing is: Ive worked out how far I can walk comfortably in a week ( I work full time so time allowing) which is 10km. Then over the next 10 weeks I'm going increase it by 1km per week. Therefore in 10 weeks time I'm aiming to walk 20km a week. I'm tracking my walks with my MapMyWalk app. Everyone has different fitness levels, I think the main thing is to try and increase our fitness level over a 10 week period if you're safe and fit enough to do. I made up a 10 week wall chart for my fridge as a visual to give me encouragement. I complete my first weeks aim of 10km.

    Getting a base line this week to start tracking
    I probably will do mine in miles, not km. Not sure. Can do both.

    Can you post a picture of your chart for us?

    Do I understand this correct? You walk approx 6 miles a week now & your 10 week goal is to be at 12 miles a week?
    I also work full time & have to deal with the AZ heat. MapMyWalk is a great tool!

    Sorry ..... This is a duplicate. Had issues!

    Do I understand this correct? You walk approx 6 miles a week now. (3 mi 2x a week)
    & your 10 week goal is to be at 12 miles (3 mi 4x a week).
    I also work full time & have to deal with the AZ heat - still in the 100s. MapMyWalk is a great tool!

    I haven't made any progress.
