Same here. I went from 2-5k to 15k, in some days even 20k steps per day.

I incorporated walking into my daily habits. Before I would bike, take the subway. Now I simply walk. If there is a call, I dial in with no video.

Mid-sentence I thought you'd walk 15km per day. That was a brief moment of awe.

I walk 20km/day and do a 90min cardio/weights workout. No rest days. All comes down to conditioning and your baseline.

How do you have enough time for this? 20km/day is around 4 hours of walking even at above average speeds

No kids and never worked on someone else's schedule (mid 40s). I do a lot of email and conceptional work while walking so it's technically not leisure time.

Same here. I mostly work while walking.

But, I do have a family and meetings for my clients.

How can one work while walking?

> No kids

Ah, that's the secret. Too late for me. :)

I truly admire you. I have managed to put myself on a 8km/day weekdays and 15km/day weekends schedule for last 5+ years and know how much effort is needed to do that.

Yeah 20km/day is crazy. I am wondering: other than post man, what are great jobs that you can do where you walk almost all day.
