| I just checked my Garmin progress reports. In April I injured my foot and could not run but could walk and so while I was recovering I started walking a lot to replace and later supplement my running. Over the period of six month from May 2023 to October 2023 I logged: * 2497km of combined walks and runs (about 80% walks and running the rest), about 13.6km a day on average * 384h of activities (for about 2h 7m daily average) * about 6.5km/h average activity speed. I walk at about 6km/h normally (sometimes faster, sometimes slower), some of the activity time is probably walking into groceries or standing in a queue for a coffee and some of the activities are runs. * 709k steps in May
* 775k steps in June
* 792k steps in July
* 808k steps in August
* 713k steps in September
* 618k steps in October For a total of 4.4M steps in 6 months or about 24.2k steps a day, on average. * as an interesting note, Garmin estimates that my activities burned 180 thousand kcalories which translates to 20kg of pure fat or about 23kg of adipose tissue (I have maintained my weight during that period, though). Hard to say how accurate this is. So, yes, it is feasible. Though quite time consuming. I switched my entertainment needs to consuming audiobooks and whatever informational/educational content I could put my hands on that would be even remotely useful. |
