I run 4x per week since I am training for an upcoming marathon this November. I also have been walking more, but I want to improve the frequency of my walks on a daily basis instead of counting only the focused hours of running that I do 4x per week. I want to create a routine where I walk 10,000 – 15,000 steps per day once I am done with my marathon. Not only does this increase NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) calorie expenditure, but walking in general is a great mood booster, especially when done with close friends. I don’t have close friends near me, but I don’t mind walking alone listening to interesting podcasts or lo-fi chill music.
I also plan to walk on an incline on a treadmill once I am done with November’s race. Strength training 3x per week, incline walks 2x per week, regular walking at least 5x per week, and mobility 1x per week. That is something I plan to achieve by the end of this year.
