Lockdown Challenge

[PNWokingham]

4 weeks away from normal activity during the National lockdown. I decided to set a challenge - something hopefully achievable and not involving a reduction in alcohol!

So, Lockdown challenge is 280,000 steps in 28 days - 10k per day average. We are 3 days in and have built a nice buffer, just need to keep it up

Anyone trying something similar?

We try and do at least 10,000 steps a day (though prob failed on that today) - averaged over the week, and I am aiming to lose 1/2 stone in the four weeks.

Don’t buy anything off eBay.
Especially golf stuff I can’t use for a month.
Struggling already.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I do over 10,000 every working day anyway including the walk to the station

If it wasnt for a bout of gout ............

Think people are missing the point a little, good luck with your challenge

It's impossible for me. I can't stand walking about without an actual destination. It feels like the most utterly pointless thing imaginable. I walk plenty when I have somewhere to go. I cannot walk for the sake of walking. It just does nothing for me at all.

it wasn't so much a comment on mine, just if you are setting any challenges to help overcome the xx lockdown

Our kids football club are attempting to do 4.2 million steps to raise money for our local Foodbank.

My lockdown challenge will be to get through it without killing someone.....and dying of sheer boredom...with a gammy knee its hard to do much else

Just a small financial, non-spending challenge.
With all this time on my hands it's quite hard ?

That's already failed in this house.

What, with these feet ?

My rugby club is doing a weekly combined 60km run on Tuesdays. Last week’s target was beaten by double. A few of us have also committed to an individual 60km running across the month. I’m a bit behind so I’m about to head off for a 12km run/bimble to get back on track.

Did you spill any Peroni doing those steps Paul ?

 

[clubchamp98]

Going for 200 miles a week on my bike.
So 50 miles every other day should do it.

 

[Crazyface]

Nope, working. I walk piggin' miles enough already.

If you want a purpose to your walking, have a look at sites like Action Challenge or theconqueror.events as they do virtual challenges that you log via Strava or manually. You get to see your progress and gives you something to aim for

I am already missing my golf buggy!

19,000 steps today - nice walk into town and round the southern fringes into the countryside.

I’ve not got a set distance, but I’m taking my Dad out for a walk everyday, so we both get a bit of exercise.
