Trying to walk 56 miles this October
Hey all,
I used to do a fair amount of walking and rucking, but my numbers have dropped off quite a bit recently thanks to work and family commitments.
For October, I’m aiming to get back to a consistent one-hour Ruck each day. That works out pretty well for a virtual walk from London to Brighton, so I wondered if anyone here fancied joining me.
The route is about 56 miles / 90 km, which works out at roughly one 1.8-mile walk a day across the month. It’s based on actual walking workouts rather than general daily steps, so the idea is to deliberately get out for a walk and have that distance move you along the London-to-Brighton route.
I’ve tried doing challenges like this on my own a few times before and usually end up falling off somewhere along the way, so this time I’m hoping a bit of friendly competition will keep me honest and make it more interesting.
The whole idea is just to have a reason to get out consistently and walk a bit more during October.
If anyone wants to join me, the challenge is here
