Kudos to anyone that can (legitimately) maintain this for extended periods. You definitely have my respect lol. I was trying to finish out a Workweek Hustle this past week and I wound up with a 51k day on Friday to end it.
FitBit auto-logged 2 separate walks during this time period.
I've calibrated my stride length to 30" which means it takes me 2112 steps for a mile.
So.....
Walk 1, 6.77 Miles - average 2.49 MPH
Walk 2,10.39 Miles - average 2.62 MPH
17.17 total miles, 6.69 hrs - average 2.57 MPH.
One day I would like to earn that magical 100k badge BUT 100,000 / 2112 = 47.35 miles / 2.57 = 18.42 hrs LOL. Might not happen in this lifetime...
Keep Steppin everyone!
Oh, and I did win the workweek hustle 😉

Hi @GSaldiveri Kudos to you for you high stepping. How'd you feel the day after? I've seen several posted about if this is possible, so I know there are folks interested to hear/read more about your experience.

@MarciM- It's possible lol, I've gone over the 50k mark 4x so far. It's not something I can do on a regular basis, it's difficult. As far as how I felt the day after, I was a little sore but walking through it helps - so does Motrin lol.
Here's my step log Year To Date:
Keep Steppin!

That's amazing! My highest day was 45K, only did it once last August). I'd love to hit 50K this year sometime, but it takes some planning ahead of time to do it.
Love all your high steps! Keep it up!

lol, I find that they actually just sneak up on me. I work retail and am on my feet about 9 hours a day then get home and get on the elliptical and/or walk for a few hours with my wife.
We have a lot of fun with the Workweek and daily challenges as well. It helps to have 9 other people pushing you to get goals 😉
You can hit the 50k mark, you will need about 8-10 hours to set aside for it though.

I have the advantage of being retired, so finding time is not much of a problem. About 7-8 hours of real moving (walking, less if you run but harder) -- break it up how you like. I get north of 50k only one or two times a month (rarely south of 20). But with practice (over 150 times in the last 4 years) and time permitting, 50k is not difficult - just a long days work. And, a lot easier if you enjoy it rather than think of it as a daunting task.

@GSaldiveri... that is truly incredible. there are days when I am almost at 30K for the day and I feel like a queen. I couldn't imagine hitting 50K. I am pretty sure my feet will fall off or give me a strong talking to - to never do it again 🙂
