Steps targets for 2022

[Vidd]

I thought I'd start a new thread on this, rather than putting with my other posts in the Lifetime Steps discussion.  

I'm aiming to do 15,000,000 steps this year, which would be a new record for me, and I don't think it's going to be easy!  I need to average 41096 daily steps, and January is usually my worst walking month, with English winter weather for one thing, and also starting with zero steps in the bank.

I'll try to post in here after each complete week, so here's my first report:

Week 1 (January 1-7 inclusive):  297899 steps - daily average 42584

I invite anyone with a target for the year in mind to put it on here - best of luck to everyone!

Week 36

September 3 - September 9

320142 steps - daily average 45735 

Overall:

11,374,849 steps - daily average 45138 

Daily average needed for 15M target 32081

Daily average needed for 10-year 100M target 36164

Daily average needed for 16M target 40931

I have another interim target of getting that last average down to 40000 by October 17th, when there will be 75 days left.  If I keep an average of 43000 per day from now until then, that will get me there.

Weather mixed.  Some very pleasant days, and some drenchingly wet ones, with thunder and lightning at times.

Week 37

September 10 - September 16

313902 steps - daily average 44843

Overall:

11,688,751 steps - daily average 45130 

Daily average needed for 15M target 31238

Daily average needed for 10-year 100M target 35591

Daily average needed for 16M target 40672

Weather dry, some wind, but not too strong - getting a bit colder.

Week 38

September 17 - September 23

319933 steps - daily average 45705

Overall:

12.008,684 steps - daily average 45145

Daily average needed for 15M target 30215

Daily average needed for 10-year 100M target 34876

Daily average needed for 16M target 40316

Weather mixed, some sunshine, some showers - colder nights.

I'm aiming to get the 16M required daily average down to 40,000 by October 17th, as that will mean I'll have 75 days in which to cover the last three million steps.  Thus far, each million steps has taken from 21 to 23 days, so it will be nice to be able to reduce the demands as we get into winter.

My goal for 2023 is to gain 10 kilograms of muscle mass.
