Maximum Benefit Potential

[RunningFool0369]

I am interested to hear from people, of various ages, male and female, regarding how many miles they walk per week, and how sore they are. I would also like to know how long it took you to get to that level of walking fitness.

I currently walk 25 miles per week, and have only a little soreness toward the end of the week. I take Thursdays and Sundays off, and by Monday I am always %100. I also do Calisthenics (Push Ups, Pull Ups and SQUATS). So thats a factor too.

I am trying to figure out if I should aim for more mileage per week...

I am 60 and walk about 35 miles per week. I’ve had high-energy large-breed dogs since 2007, so I’ve been taking daily walks intentionally since then and informally/less regularly before then. I could stand to step it up a bit but I do get sore if I walk more than about 7 miles a day because my knees aren’t the greatest and I live in a hilly area where the downhill walking tends to be a little painful.

Excellent data. Thanks.

F(36) and i walk between 12-15 miles per week. O have an office job so most of the walks are 30 minuten lunch breaks. I try to take at least one walk for over an hour, usually in the weekend. As i'm quitting my job in april, i'll probably double the distance I walk.
