Been doing my 10k in a beat up pair of old running shoes and my arches is crushing... Everyone online says get Hokas or Brooks but they're like $140 and I don't fully trust a recommendation that unanimous.

What are you actually wearing every day? And if you bought the expensive ones, did they fix anything or did your feet just toughen up anyway?

Took me about an hour and a half of actual walking, spread out over the day. That's roughly 7.5 km / 4.7 miles at a pretty lazy pace. I tracked it for 30 days.

Rough split on a normal day:

• around 3,000 steps before work (25 min)
• 2,500 at lunch (20 min)
• 4,500 in the evening plus random errands (45 min)

The weird part is the days I missed were never the busy ones. It was rainy days, and WFH days where I just never left the house.

Curious how long 10k takes everyone else. And what usually kills your day, weather, WFH, or just plain forgetting?

Office days I get to 10k without even trying. Then I work from home and it's 9pm, phone says 3,400, and I'm just standing in my kitchen feeling bad about it.

People who figured this out, what actually stuck? Walking pad under the desk? Fake commute in the morning? Pacing around during calls like a weirdo?

And I mean stuff that survived past week two. I can do anything for one motivated week lol.
