Walk 1000 miles challenge

[bonzaitree]

I’m starting this challenge in the new year. The goal is to walk 1,000 miles in 2023.

It works out at approx 20 miles per week and approx 3 miles per day.

Do you think this is doable? I have a dog who I walk every day anyway.

I think the most likely thing to stop me is getting covid/ cold/ flu. I had a lot of bugs over the autumn period. If I’m getting cold after cold after cold I’m not going to want to go out walking!

About an hour to an hour and a half a day

I did more than twice that last year but do a lot of walking at weekends as family is grow so that covered the days when I did no more than a mile during the working week

I would worry if if your dog wasn't getting that much exercise a day anyway so go for it.

Haha the dog is very tiny and very old (and very lazy!)

Might involve some additional walking!

3 miles is about 45 minutes at a brisk walking pace, an hour if you take it a bit easier. If you can do it once you can do it every day.

Fair enough. Maybe do some with your dog and some without.

Naismith rule 3 miles an hour but it's rare to find anyone who walks that fast

45 minutes ii suggest is 3 km not 3 miles

Rule of thumb fast walk 10 mins per km, typical 15 and slower 20

Become a trolley collector at your local supermarket.

That's 3 days work.
