Reply to comment by redchill101 in Meeting your daily step goal really does work to prevent important illnesses. Taking more than 8,200 steps a day – the equivalent of walking around four miles – was found to protect against the likes of obesity, sleep apnoea, high blood pressure and major depressive disorder by Wagamaga

Huh? Are you running? A 23 minute dog walk gets me 1500 steps. Granted I’m walking and picking up after my dogs, but 12000 in one hour doesn’t sound right unless you’re sprinting. That’s 200 steps per minute (3.33 steps per second) for an hour straight…

Not running but a pretty fast walk for about 80 or 90 mins.

Edit: I am former infantry, so when I "go for a walk" for my health I am usually keeping a fast march/hump pace. Muscle memory is still there, just that the years have caught up. Haven't been regularly working out for many years now, but after 50 I gotta start something before it's just too late.
