uWalk an average of 2.74<br />
miles a day in 12 months.<br />
Today is a perfect time to start.<br />
What happens next takes<br />
care of itself. You make friends<br />
and share discoveries and<br />
delights; you see yourself in<br />
print perhaps and feel a giddy<br />
glee; you smile a bit more,<br />
sleep a bit better and start<br />
having naughty thoughts<br />
about outdoor gear. You get<br />
complimented, wear a badge<br />
for the first time since you<br />
were six and enjoy rain.<br />
It’s weird.<br />
I’VE ONLY JUST<br />
Q<br />
SEEN THIS – AM I<br />
TOO LATE TO START?<br />
Never. The challenge is to<br />
walk <strong>1000</strong> miles in 12 months<br />
from the day you start.<br />
You can log your miles and<br />

average at any time at<br />

HOW DO<br />
Q<br />
I RECORD<br />
MY MILES?<br />
First, decide what miles<br />
you’re going to count: if<br />
you’re just starting out and<br />
have a way to go with your<br />
fitness, count every step<br />
of every day. If you want<br />
a stretch, only count extra<br />
walks you wouldn’t have done<br />
in the normal course of life<br />
(recommended). If you really want to push yourself, count<br />
only boots-on miles – only ‘proper’ walks in the countryside.<br />
Next, track your daily miles using a fitness tracker (there’s one<br />
free with a Country Walking subscription right now), an app<br />
or your phone or by referring to a map. Now the fun bit: fill<br />
each day’s total in on your Progress Chart (free with Country<br />
Walking) and watch your miles build; tap your totals into our<br />
online Mileage Logger at www.walk<strong>1000</strong>miles.co.uk to get<br />
instant target averages and to contribute to the community’s<br />
overall mile-haul!<br />
