I Walked 30,000 Steps A Day / 100 Miles In 7 Day - Here's What Happened
So what does it take to walk 100 miles in a week, it averages out to about 14.3 miles per day.
For me, this is about 31,000 steps each day. Obviously this challenge is not something you could likely maintain day after day, but that is what makes this a challenge, it’s difficult!
I can get about 1000 steps in about 8 minutes, so this comes out to a little over 4 hours of continuous walking.
So here is a quick rundown of how I did each day.
One day 1 I was able to get in 32,896 steps, this equalled 15.27 miles and my body burnt 4610 calories for the day.
Just to clear things up a little bit here, every day my body will burn about 1836 calories even if I do absolutely nothing, this is known as your basal metabolic rate (bmr), so the increased activity burnt an additional 2,774 calories. My Fitbit tracks my heart rate, so it is able to use that data, combined with my current body composition to determine roughly how many calories were burnt. So this is how my calories burnt were calculated.
On day two I got in 37,108 steps for a total of 17.22 miles. The total calories burnt this day was 5117.
Day 3 started out wet and nasty, which meant a lot of walking would have to take inside. This involved walking around the house and in place, luckily though the weather cleared up and I was able to get outside for a bit. I ended up setting a personal best though 41,430 steps equaling 19.25 miles.
On day four I got in 31,137 steps for a total of 14.45 miles
Day five netted me 31,043 steps for another 14.39 miles
Come day six my body was wearing down but I still got in 30,249 steps equalling 14.29 miles
And finally day 7 I punished my sore body to get in 30,144 steps totaling 14.44 miles
And just like that, my week of walking 100 miles was over, and now it’s time for me to show you the results
In 7 days I walked 234,007 steps for a grand total of 109.32 miles or about 176 kilometers.
According to my fitbit I burnt 32,943 calories in these 7 days. My basal metabolic rate, the amount of calories my body burns every day just to keep itself alive is 1829 calories a day, this means that the extra activity of walking primarily burned 20,140 calories.
While walking my heart rate typically stayed between the range of 109 to 129 beats per minute.
According to the numbers my fitbit had me burning about 86 calories for every 1000 steps.
I started out with a weight of 196.8 pounds and finished the 7 days at a weight of 192.6 pounds for a total of 4.2 pounds lost.
My body fat percentage decreased by .9% and here are several other areas you can compare.
My calves also saw some minor growth, growing about ¼” when compared the end results from my recent video calf raises for 30 days.
You have probably heard of runners high before, where after running, the runner’s body releases endorphins that cause a state of euphoria. Walking this much also created a similar effect for me, a walkers high if you will.
Before I started this challenge my resting heart rate averaged 66 beats per minute. At the end of the 7 days that number had lowered to 61 beats per minute.
My blood pressure also improved lowering slightly from 120/88 to 117/82.
And finally, something I found the most interesting, I have grown 1 inch. I have always been 5”10” for years. My back began to hurt from all this walking and when I looked it up it said walking strengthens your spine and in effect can make you taller slightly taller. Sure enough when I measured my height I was now 5’11”. I actually don’t know if this occurred over this week or not though since I don’t normally measure my height and I have tried to make it a point to get in at least 15000 steps in a day for the last year and a half. Either way at 35 years old I grew 1 inch recently.
It was a fun challenge, and now I look forward to sitting down for a bit and getting some rest. I’ll see you in the next one!
