(On roads and trails, not the PCT). It was really interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed it, though obviously there are downsides. Mostly I'm proud of myself for persisting through some pain but also doing it without breaking anything! I don't plan to do a huge post but am happy to answer any questions about the experience, if anyone has them.

So , I walk about 15km a day.. city walking, pavement bashing. I don't use buses unless I have to. I am the kinda who will always say lets walk there.. 1km- +. Lately my feet hurt. like pain in the mornings, and terrible pain at night. I have tried different shoes to boots to barefoot etc . I have time to rest as I am under quarantine due to corvid-19, so I decided to do some online research about long distance walking shoes... I would love some info regarding what your preferences are for foot wear

I’m new to Reddit, and I mostly read content here. So please don’t judge me by my Karma 🙏

Me and my partner lost our son George last year in April. The charity I am deciding to do the 120 mile walk for has helped us and a lot of other parents during the hardest time of our lives. During covid they are not getting much funding so they are struggling to help familys that are in desperate need.

Anything would be appreciated even a quid, if you can't donate please could you share as it helps just as much as any money would! Thank you so much here is the link www.goldengiving.com/fundraising/GeorgesMemory

I am about to embark on a lifelong dream to walk from Seattle to Portland soon, and I'm excited. I just wanted to post because it's finally beginning to feel real; wish me luck!

I want to do this for charity. It is around 500 miles (800 km). Summer time. No time limit.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone have any advice on routes to take? General advice?

Peace!

So I've been working towards walking a marathon. I am grievously overweight, but i've been going on walks around my block late at night when everyone is asleep for a few months. I do it before bed, and i do about 5km every night. It means so much to me that i'm being healthier and making progress towards this goal. I do not want to lose this!

The dog part: My neighbor's dog (young pitbull. female.) hangs out around their open door up the stairs that i have to ascend to get to my home. She has taken to growling at me and barking at me when i try to get home. If i get closer she gets more intense and stands up. I think she is trying to defend her home from me.

I ask the neighbor to help and he derides me. "She's just a puppy" "It's your vibe" "Oh come on, she won't bite""big guy, you'll be fine". He's probably right that its my vibe, i'm scared, anxious, and annoyed that i can't walk into my own home.

I don't know what to do. Telling the manager is a no-go (I'd rather not go into why), I have zero interest in hurting her. I don't want to make things worse with my neighbor... I just want to walk to my door in peace.

So, I walk a lot and I wondered if it would be possible for me (a 15 y/o) to walk 100,000 steps in a day. Well, here's how it went: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u0UP2zmII0

Will take me probably about a month it's my first time ever doing something like this. I have two months to pepare , does anyone have any advice tips?

Have some time to burn before my vacation resets, would love to go for a walk. Who has some good ideas for places that are decent to go in Jan/Feb? By decent I mean, probably no snow, warmer-type weather, not flooded, etc.

We're planning on walking from a city to a lake in about 2 months time, with the distance being 80 kilometers spread across 2 days. I'm in decent shape and it's not unusual that I walk 10 km a day just doing my business. The route is pretty flat and for the most part, there's a bicycle route that we could walk along. I do have a pair of running shoes and I will be getting adequate insoles to put into them.

Is there any need to train for it?

Hi all,

Couple of days ago I decided to challenge myself and do a 300km lone walk. Without staying in hotels, hostels...etc and without using any type of vehicles. Just walking and camping.

I do not have any previous experience in distance walking. I'm 40yo good health but a bit overweight. Height 182cm, weight 96.

• How to prepare.

• Is there any challenges that I should expect.

• If possible advise my about camping and dealing with wolves, bears and snakes.

• Is there an health risks involved? considering my age and my lack of experience.

• And yes, can you please tell what is the best shoes that I can use.

Thank you in advance. I have to do this, I want to do this and I will.

I have a friend who swears I should dump my pack and use a wheeled load carrier for my gear. like a baby stroller back pack. I just doubt it's worth the extra weight. I do most over night walks on dirt or gravel roads. thoughts?
