When I'm on holiday i usually do between 12-20K a day and then flop into a deep sleep at night. Normal everyday only about 5K and I need to make more effort to step that up to 10K.

I aim for 10k a day, I know on Sunday I did 16.5k as went walking in the Peak District. Always loved walking, worked in a compus for 15 years with great walks around the grounds. Chatted to a 87 year old chap today, pretty sprightly. He said want to know my secret? I said it’s walking and I was right. He also said he took a spoon of cod liver oil every day and had shreddies with honey for breakfast.
