I actually have unlocked this superpower. I can think and walk and think walk forever.

Me too. I make it a habit to walk at least three times a week for a few miles each time. I do notice that if I am under heavy stress, I tend to walk much further.

10 km solves about 80 % of all problems.

Honestly same.
I have ptsd, adhd, shitty job, fat, deal with beratement landmines all day, but damn can i walk and get lost in nature / the breeze outside, maybe with some music for hours.

I went through a truly awful break up and instead of taking the 30 minute bus ride home from work one day I just said, screw it, I will walk home.
It took me an hour and a half to finally get home.
I did it every day after that and after a couple of weeks I was getting home in under an hour and then down to around 45 minutes.
I remember coming home and feeling a lot better one day and was like… Did I just learn what exercise is??
“The Long Walk” is a great way to work through things.

I’ve gone on psychotic wandering sprees. It’s never a good time.Â

I do feel like building in regular walks into my days and longer hikes every week or so has helped a lot with my anxiety and general stress.
I remember hearing a podcast where an ex-NFL player was talking about how his wife was instituting a rule that he had to workout regularly just because she’d noticed how out of sorts he got when he didn’t, and they all agreed that days where they did nothing sometimes they felt guilty or the like. I’d kinda already been feeling it for myself, but that really resonated with how I was feeling about walking and doing things and helped to make it “click” that I should be deliberate about making sure to keep physical activity in my routine.
25-40k steps a day just to survive here… No complaints.

That’s how I transitioned from walking to running and other forms of cardio. At some point walking wasn’t enough to keep stressful thoughts at bay. 2+ hours of walking and all I got from it were sore hips and the same restlessness. I started mixing it with light jogging and progressed both in speed and form.
At the end of each run, I’m drenched in sweat, gasping for air, at peak exhaustion but my brain is just so calm, so relieved.

-+35k steps a day. About 3 hours at day time, and around 3 before sleep.
With podcasts in ears and walking save routes its really helps with bad mood or depression and sleeping problems.

Who are you without walking?
