Thanks! I wish Fitbit would post the number of people with Olympian Sandals. I bet a pretty small group of crazy folk.

I agree .. walking 100,000 steps in a day isn’t important BUT in the Fitbit world it is the ultimate goal and something that some of us feel we want to challenge ourselves in achieving . Happy stepping 😃

I think it's pretty rare among casual Fitbit users. I can think of a handful of my Fitbit friends that have achieved it.
I am friends with someone on Fitbit who is pretty famous in the walking community and she has achieved the 100K step badge 91 times. She is a distance walker and pretty inspiring. You should google Yolanda Holder, The Walking Diva.
For me personally, I'm still working up to it. Most recently, I obtained the 45K (Snow Boots) badge and that was a lot of work. I'm planning my 65K step badge next (Ruby Slippers). Hoping to do it on Thanksgiving possibly. It's going to take a lot of planning, starting early, and good weather but not too hot or too cold. I need to be doing 20-30K consistently, but it's hard.
I commend anyone who has the strength to do 100K in a day. I hope to get there one of these days!

I can also say that 100k steps in a day is possible, but very difficult. I have competed in some 24-hour ultra races as a walker. There are many people that can cover over 100 miles in 24 hours, but I am not one of them. But last year, I did a race that started at 8am on Saturday morning. I had done a few thousand steps before the race to warm up and then walked continuously for the remainder of Saturday (except for a couple of 10-minute breaks). I hit the 100k mark a little after 11:30. Runners can get there faster if they have the stamina to go that long.
So yes, it is possible to do. But it sure is not easy.

I did 100k steps in one day: yesterday. Possible, yes! Advisable: not completely 😆. I have a couple of big blisters 😑.
I started at midnight, and walked straight though till 6am, averaging 6k steps an hr. Later on, I was lucky to average 5k steps an hr. After about 40k steps, the battle became “mental” rather than physical. Take lots of short breaks. I drank about 4 litres of water and ate lots of apples and oat energy bars. After 60k any incline was quite a struggle, so choose somewhere dead flat. Uneven or rocky footpaths slow you down a lot and are super-painful on knackered knees and blisters: choose smoothly paved surfaces. Keep the mind interested: go somewhere with great scenery; it’ll distract you from the plod-plod-plod. The last 10k steps felt like torture! I finished at 6pm. Am quite sore today, so make sure you have the day off after your challenge. Good luck 😉
