Hello everybody! I've skimmed over this thread and it's really inspired me. I know we're half way through the year already but would you mind if I joined you?
I'm currently not able to do any weight bearing exercise due to injury so I'm trying to walk as much as possible and usually manage a swim once a week. At the moment I average 4 miles walking a day, not in one go and I have no idea what distance I cover swimming. Just done a quick calculation and 4 miles walking per day for the next 180 days would take me to 720 miles so if I push myself to do more I think I could do it!

370.5/374.5 Im nearly half way

Welcome billy hope the walking goes well. For swimming in a 25m pool 40L = 1km.

Quick run in early yesterday 5k.

Just found this thread and I'm really inspired. I know we are half way through the year but can I join in? I've just had a baby (He's 9 weeks old) and I really want to get my fitness levels back up so will be doing lots of walking!

I'd like to do 1000miles this year, I track it using a fitbit.

So far I've done 215.77miles (since 1Jan) only 784.33 to go!

Welcome amysaurus I walked everywhere on my maternity leave and loved it got SO fit it was great whilst baby had no expectations of walking themselves that year went fast! Then toddlerhood meant I was back to walking v.slowly again.

Super hot 7k after school drop off this morning.

Thanks for the welcome, been keeping up my 4 miles a day and even tried to run again. Did 2 sets of 5 mins yesterday!

Billy I downloaded a hiit timing app at the weekend which I was really impressed with. Basically you just set your intervals (so I did 45 sec/15 sec because I was doing circuits, but you could do 1 min/30 sec for example) and number of reps and then it chimes at those intervals for however many minutes you set. So you could say do a 30 minutes walk, with 2 minutes run, 1 minute walk x 10 intervals)- the chimes play through your music/podcast or whatever you listen to. Interval training is supposed to be the best for fat burning and for improving your fitness. I’m going to try using it while running to increase my speed/ distance running. Might be worth a look?

5 km on the treadmill, absolutely grim in this heat!
