Walk ‘n Work

Being able to work remote is a huge plus in a number of ways, but the most recent perk I’ve found is turning my treadmill into a desk, and walk while I work. It has made burning calories a brainless affair.

In an average day, I have a goal of walking at least 7 miles, which I split up into a few hour-long walks while I work. I tend to stick below 3mph while doing focused work, or else I begin to bob too much, and it gets distracting. 2.5-2.7 mph is my sweet-spot.

Up until a few days ago, I was walking for 5 miles during the workday, then running the last 2 miles after 5 o’clock, but I’m suffering a bit from shin splints so I’m backing off the running for now, and upping my walking. I’m trying to do a few shin splint exercises while I’m in recovery, but I really don’t feel like it’s targeting the problem very well.

Today, I’ve done three sets of one-hour walks, and have tallied up 9.03 miles total for the day, and about 20,000 steps according to Fitbit.

Just thought I’d share my journey through this, and let Tumblr be my statement of record on the matter.
