April - 10k a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

A new thread for 10k (or more) steps a day accountability for April! Come join us, everyone welcome 😃

March was not as successful for me but locking in for April and hoping to smash the 10k every day!!

I'm only on 6700 today but I have been out dancing all night so hope that makes up.for it!
Cheesy crumpets and bed for me 😴

I spent most of yesterday doing jobs around the house and didn't wear my watch so no idea how many steps but I guess not loads. I'm going for a walk today though.

I’ve missed the 10k target 2 days in a row, as well as eating rubbish. Dusting myself down and getting back on track today with a nice long walk whilst my son is at his football game.

@OrientalPrinceInTheLandOfSoup
Ooh I haven't been out dancing for years, how fun!!
My watch is a Mi fitness (xiamo) one from amazon I think I paid £40. It does the job and battery lasts for a couple of weeks so I'm happy with it 😃

@Joolly2 yes I love oat/fruit bars too! If I come across any good recipes within this book I will share!

I forgot to post yesterday but here are my steps! Not as many as I thought being at the zoo but a fun day was had 😃
This morning I went for an early run, and for the first time in over a year ran 5K! I am very slow but very proud 🙂

@Illbefinejustbloodyfinehope your epic walk was amazing!!

@MoneyJo well done! You might be surprised how many steps from doing jobs around the house racked up!!

@YesreallyitsmeI have times like that too. Well done for getting back on it 🤩

@MoneyJo definitely wear your watch for housework, its amazing how quickly those steps add up.

@10kstepsaday I hope yoi hadca lovely day out at the zoo, the weather was glorious where I am.

My walk was indeed epic! Once a month or so i walk with a friend, and he does a lot of long distance walking and was keen to do this route...just tge 14 miles or so. I was in bed V early and woke up at 9.30am, best sleep ive had in years!

Oh and Im due to run today 😬

God knows what todays goal will be!!

@Illbefinejustbloodyfine I think that's the highest we have ever had recorded on these threads! 🏆

@10kstepsaday its not at all usual for me. I am finding though the numbers really increasing with running. I was struggling to average 10k a day over a week before running, often coning in around 7 or 8

I have planned my week to include runs:
Mon - Strength train & big walk
Tues - morning run before work
Weds - Strength train & small lunch time walk (WFH)
Thurs - morning run before work
Friday - stretch and lunch time walk (WFH)
Sat - 5K run
Sun - rest, stretch and walk

Now I have put it out there so Imma have to stick to it 😆

New here & enjoying reading this thread.

I'm running 10K a few times a week now. I find it helps stave off the boredom, plus, 😊it's heightened my libido I find! 😆

@Illbefinejustbloodyfine sleeping better - yes yes, isn't exercise amazing?! 😁

@Illbefinejustbloodyfine , loving your steps.
I am being encouraged by everyone's running.
@MoneyJo , i hate it when i forget to wear my watch and miss out on having my many steps acknowledged. I am sure you got in many more steps than you think.

Missed posting for Friday and yesterday. It's been a particularly busy weekend.
Friday - 19,073 steps
Yesterday- 16,415 steps
Today's steps - 20,231

Welldone everyone. Very encouraging.

I wonder what all our steps in total will be at the end of the month.

@Illbefinejustbloodyfine @Onegramatatime you are next level step getters! Congratulations.
@10kstepsaday I think it's a good idea to make a plan. I always feel obliged to do something if I've written it down. I love ticking things off a list.
I've been gardening all day, unfortunately not moving around much, (weeding) so my total is only 6,434 steps. On the plus side I did do an hours pilates first thing.

Nice bonus 🤣 @Myrunningshoesaresocomfy

Well done @Onegramatatime
Haha maybe I should add them all up 🤩

Gardening is a good workout @Joolly2
And pilates, for 1 hour!! That's awesome!!
Well done 🤩

Ran 7.5km on Saturday… so I hit 12k steps, then yesterday was a bit of a bad day for me and I only hit 5k 🙁 Mood has been quite low so struggling with my motivation - however, it’s a nice sunny day today so I’m determined to hit 10km again!

you are all inspiring me! I got back on track yesterday and back to over 10k for the day.

I also started Couch to 5K this morning before work. I can run 5K, but I really really struggle with consistency, so I’m hoping the 3 runs a week that are required will get me into a good routine. I love your plan @10kstepsaday, I think I’ll do something similar.

@PeonyPatchi find it hard to get out when my mood is low too - but do get out into the sunshine today, it will help lift your mood 🌷

I think C25K is an excellent idea. I did it several years ago but am less fit now than at the start last time.

@10kstepsaday sharing a plan always helos me to stick to it, good luck!

@Myrunningshoesaresocomfy its amazing isnt it? I am properly tired.

@Joolly2 thank you. I am going through a very stressful time and thankfully seem to have switched from wine to exercise to help me through it!

So yesterday I did get out to run. I mussed my 6.5k run friday , and yesterdays run was 9k. I set off thinking i would see how i felt after my epic walk, and actually felt pretty good so did the 9k!! Longest in over a decade.

Haha @10kstepsaday it certainly is. 😉

I'm lucky we have showers at work, so can get a run in at lunchtimes which is great.

Well done @PeonyPatch
7.5k is amazing!! And it will average out!
Hope you are ok and have had a better day today.

Well done @Yesreallyitsme for the steps and for C25k!
Yay for a plan 🤩

You can definitely do it @MoneyJo

Thank you @Illbefinejustbloodyfine
Hope you are ok!! 9k run is awesome!!

That is handy @Myrunningshoesaresocomfy

Well I stuck to my plan today 🥳
I did 40 minutes full body strength on YouTube, followed by a 1 hr 30 minute walk! Was so nice! And think that's a new highest total for me yay! Trophy for me please and thank you 🏆

Thank you. I still haven't got to 10k. But I'm moving in the right direction!
