March - 10k a day Club

March thread for anyone who wants to join in with getting their 10k a day steps in each day. A place to be accountable and motivate each other!

The Feb Thread was super positive and friendly and involved a lot of us getting outdoors in the rain, jumping on the walking pad and wandering around our lounges to hit the last few steps 🤩 and one of us wandering around a cruise ship 😁

Hopefully March will bring more sunshine fuelled walks ☀️ Let's do this!!

The soup was delicious @Joolly2
I can share the recipe if you like it's from a Davina recipe book, no sugar one!
I also cooked a recipe from the Green Roasting tin book today, which I definitely recommend if you are trying to get more veg in. The recipes are very tasty 😋

I'm at 16k so far today, so pleased with that! Always find it easier on my day off. I had a few errands to run so I park at our local nature reserve area and walked around there and the long way into town and then to each of the shops. Also mopped all my floors today which helped with the steps 😂 and im very tired now!

I was ill on Friday and over the weekend, so nowhere near my step target for those three days, unfortunately! Back on it today, with 11.5k steps.

Joolly2 · 24/03/2026 00:13

@SilenceInside hope you are fully recovered now, don't over do it.
@10kstepsaday I would love the soup recipe if it's no bother. I seem to be able to eat lots of things in soup form. It's just when they are on a plate and looking like vegetables I can't cope.
I managed 11,673 steps today.

@10kstepsaday thank you so much for the recipe. I had everything i needed in the house except the parsley and cream. So I made it, and had it for lunch. It was delicious. Will definitely be making it again. Just off to print it out.

Here's today's effort. Pleased that as had a full day WFH at the desk. I did a few laps around the garden this morning, then a longer walk before dinner with the kids. The wind is insane where I am!! Blowing a gale 🤣

Hope you have all had good Tuesdays ✨

Just a squidge over 12k today. Tried getting up early today and doing a (short) treadmill walk before getting the kids up, which worked ok so I think I’ll keep giving that a go.

another walk to the post office to drop off a Vinted sale and a 7km run saw me reach 15,319 today

10kstepsaday · 25/03/2026 07:25

Well done @SilenceInside that's a good idea!!
Where my algorithm on socials is showing me people getting in their steps there is one account it shows me where she gets up at like 3am to walk for 4chours before work 🤣🤣 Everytime i@TheSlimmingPumpkins up I am both equally amazed and perple@TheSlimmingPumpkin

Well done @thesl

Really blustery here today so I am hunkered down in my greenhouse after Pilates. If the wind dies down a bit I will go off for a walk but I have another run planned for tomorrow.

Great efforts everyone

Birdsongisangry · 25/03/2026 21:39

Not quite hitting target, did 9800 yesterday and 8500 today, I've been out each day until late though I have been trying to get in extra steps where I can during the day (parking further away etc) so I'm pleased that it's still more than I would have been doing before I started this challenge. Hoping to get a bit extra on the weekend when I'm off so I can average 10k this week!

Birdsongisangry · 25/03/2026 21:40

And yes @TheSlimmingPumpkin the weather has been awful, we've had gales, snow/sleet, hail and rain today! Looking forward to actual spring soon though.

SilenceInside · 25/03/2026 21:50

Another morning treadmill walk has helped me get to 12.7k steps today, and it’s definitely better than trying to get the steps in, in the evening instead.

We also had wind, giant hail, rain and all the rest. Delightful!

10kstepsaday · 25/03/2026 22:13

The weather is certainly crazy atm!!
I went for a very quick evening walk with the kids but they did not enjoy, the wind was icy cold even though the sun was shining!!

Yesterday I managed to get 11,434 steps, partly due to several games of badminton. Today I've barely scrapped 10,000. Like everyone else the weather has been diabolical here and not very conducive to walking outdoors.
So glad I didn't plant my trees at the weekend, they would have been flattened by the wind,

TheSlimmingPumpkin · 26/03/2026 16:26

11,644 steps so far today. Should get in a few more today to make up for yesterday’s lack of effort 🏃‍♀️

10kstepsaday · 26/03/2026 22:53

11k today! Some days the steps seem to rack up so easily and others are such a slog!

@10kstepsaday @TheSlimmingPumpkin well done to both of you, you are smashing it.
I'm on 9,000 and not likely to improve on it. It has been so cold today I've just wanted to hibernate. It's set to be colder tomorrow I think, so I will have to up my game.

SilenceInside · 27/03/2026 07:40

Forgot to post yesterday, but made it to 11k steps. Been outside for a quick early morning walk today which was a nice variation from being on the treadmill.

Joolly2 · 28/03/2026 19:19

Yesterday's total was only 8,749 steps. Due to lots of unexpected things happening, leaving no time to walk. Much calmer day today total so far 13,589.
@10kstepsaday finally found time to listen to a Mel Robbins podcast. It was the life admin one. Really enjoyed it, she's very motivational isn't she.

Hey All! Nearly the end of March. I have not done as well over the month as February 😭 but still way way better than January before the threads started!
Yesterday I did 9.5K. today I am only on 4k have had a proper chilled day. Unlikely to get up to 10K now but hey ho. Hope you're all having a good weekend.
Yes I really rate her! I think the one I listened to was the one about repairing relationshios with body & food. I really want to read her book too!

TheSlimmingPumpkin · 28/03/2026 22:47

I ran 10k today which together with some walking and gardening has taken my total to over 16,000 steps.

with the days getting longer hopefully we will all be able to get our step count in more easily💪🏻
