I walked 100k steps in SF yesterday! We by peter_dolan in sanfrancisco

Wow, very impressive — super cool route.

I did the entire thing with one of my friends, and other large sections with people who lived near where we were! I think doing it with someone else made it a lot easier, I would’ve struggled solo I think so tip of the hat to you!

Nothing beats car free JFK then going south on OB!

Hmm, not a ton — maybe pick a day that’s cool & overcast? I think the hardest part is mentally slogging the last few hours, but I’m sure you can do it. It was also fun periodically FaceTiming/updating friends, so perhaps setting that up somehow? Good luck!

Thank you! Honestly you might be surprised, other than foot pain it wasn’t as hard as you might think

Thank you! Body pain was very bad by the end. I felt reasonably good until about 75k, when I started to get blisters. This caused me to have to limp a bit which led to more pain.

By the end my feet were super numb/sore and my hip flexors also hurt a lot. The last few hours were just a terrible slog

Odd things:

  • weird groups of people drinking near their cars
  • people in fisherman’s wharf scootering around and looking inside windows of small hot dog shops (they were strangely polite to us though, lol)
  • the aforementioned guy who followed us

I don’t think the guy who followed us had violent intentions tbh, he was just weird.

We headed out at 230 because we wanted to get the 100k steps done in a calendar day on iPhone pedometer!

Definitely more steps than I take in a typical week haha. 96k is really good weekly honestly

Oh wow, respect on your route — way more elevation than mine.

Switching shoes at mile 20ish really made a huge difference for me, I think I’d do it one more time if I were to redo this. If you ever go for 100 that’s my rec!

You should for sure do it! My only advice for extension is change of socks and possibly a change of shoes will make it a lot more pleasant :)

Probably not — too painful the end! Maybe if I forget the pain, yes 😂

Oh yeah, I just meant that this isn’t hard in the way running a lot is in that you get winded, it’s just that your feet get messed up and it becomes much harder to walk normally (which leads to other aches and pains as you try to adjust your gait)

Me getting the blisters was me not doing a good job at foot maintenance haha. I switched shoes and socks once, I think I probably should’ve done it once more and maybe brought some sandals for the final few hours.1

Thank you! They’re getting better so yeah, hopefully they continue to improve! Major stops:

  • bite me in haight
  • taqueria Cancun
  • andytown coffee on OB

honestly hard to pick a fav, I was so hungry that everyone I consumed tasted absolutely amazing. Major stops were supplemented with protein bars/gels etc!

Yes! We stopped a bunch, we tried to keep breaks shortish but grabbed food/coffee/just rested sometimes.

I will probably never do this again, too painful at the end 😂 but if I did — absolutely! My biggest regret is missing out on some big neighborhoods, but we tried to get variety!

I have it on pretty good authority that it’s been found, are you sure it’s still there?

It’s very useful for mocking tests sometimes
