I Try Walking 100,000 Steps In A Day - This was A LOT Harder Than Expected...

- Coronavirus has meant staying at home at lot more than usual. To make sure that I keep moving, I decided to take things to the extreme by trying to walk 100,000 steps in a day.
I don't think I've ever walked more than 50,000 steps in one day before, let alone 100,000. I'd seen a few videos on CZcams of people trying to take on this insane challenge and thought about it for a while. How hard could it be? Boy, was I naïve and wrong.
So, I woke up at the crack of dawn, loaded up my backpack with enough food and drink for the day, put on my sports watch, and started walking in any and every direction I could. Could I really succeed in this monumental feat of covering 100,000 steps in a single day?
This is the story of how I try walking 100,000 steps in a day.

All my running and hiking gear, and the gear I use to make my videos, is linked in the description 👟🏃🏻♂️📽️
Well done mate. I did 100,771 on Saturday on a charity walk. I consider this to be the holy grail.
Cheers David and congratulations on your charity walk. That’s one hell of a distance!
Great video! This type of content definitely helps fan the flame and serve as a source of motivation. Keep at it!
Well done! I did it myself around the time you did it, during lockdown in The Netherlands. I was actually thinking to do it again because of the new restrictions (well that got me watching videos about it again haha). It made me feel alive! What you describe at the end is so true: the feeling of that achievement and the feeling of experiencing 3 days instead of 1. Also the video is nicely put together, I did not record much and thinking back I should have done that.
Hey Daphne, thanks for watching and cool to hear that you gave it a try too! Hopefully you enjoyed it, despite the toll it takes on the feet. Great achievement and good to do something a bit different during the lockdown rather than just staying in
Best one iv seen on CZcams! well done 👍
Well done dude, it’s quite the experience isn’t it? The mental dips were just as bad as the physical ones for me, but the feeling now afterwards is well worth it. 👍
Cheers fella. Yeah, it's a mental experience and there are many highs and lows. The hardest thing was all the blisters and foot pain afterwards, which made it hard to walk the next day. Well done to you for finishing it too!
Excellent my best was 70,000 step in one day been doing 10,000 step daily for 2 year in a row on my apple watch going to take on 100,000k steps a day this year...
Outstanding work! Very inspiring. I started with 10,000 steps a day and am at 43 straight days. I thought that was hard. You show me I have a LONG way to go. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words, Dobie. 10,000 steps a day is a fantastic goal and something that establishes a great base layer of fitness. Keep up the good work and thanks for watching!
What a crazy challenge - but v good training for your 100k!! Congratulations
It was crazy day indeed and my feet were not in a good way haha but yes, great training for the 100k. Thanks for watch Julie
Super happy for you. Super disappointed that you logged it as running, not as walking, on Strava.
Incredibly tough challenge. Well done, sir! 🎉
Thanks!
Well done, but I think I would've tried to clock the 50 mile, my OCD would've kicked in😂
I'm trying to do a 24 hour, how far can I walk challenge, next week.
Hopefully a video to follow.
My son took on this challenge yesterday.at the end he said he felt like a broken man.but he made it proud of him
Congratulations to your son, it's not an easy feat by any means. Hope his feet were okay the next day; mine felt like they were going to fall off!
@@runningcafe1 he was in absolute agony when finishes and day after.he said he never had to fight so hard mentally to finish.his wife picked him up as he couldn't walk.
Awesome effort dude! I did this as well over lockdown and then my flatmate and i did a 24h walk as the next challenge. I had my fair share of blisters, and the mental highs and lows. A great sense of satisfaction and a new perception of myself, and also about appreciating little things is what I have learned from this experience.
A 24 hour walk, like nonstop!? Wow, that’s insane. What kind of terrain was it, urban areas? Good challenge idea for the future maybe, unreal. How many steps did you clock up?
OUTSTANDING !!!
Amazing mate 👏👏🕶
Brilliant Craig! How did it compare to
The ultras you’ve run?
This was probably harder than the 100ks but nothing compares to the feeling of running the North Downs way 100. That pushed me big time but I'm glad to have finished!
@@runningcafe1 I’ve been watching videos of folk doing that recently. I’m yet to even do a marathon, but already excited for Thames 100k September. And in the future, who knows?!
That is 15 hours of walking. Dude should just hiked for the whole day.
True dat
@@runningcafe1 or just get a job as a waiter.
Nice job! You kept saying next time. Was there a next time? I hope not! A couple years ago I did 50,000 steps. I thought that was a lot. I'm 65 now so trying 100,000 might be out of the question.
Thank you! There hasn't been a next time just yet in terms of walking 100,000 steps, but I've certainly done 100,000 steps in a day at least twice during some ultra marathons. Believe it or not, they felt much easier on the feet than walking 100,000 steps!
50,000 steps is a massive amount, congrats. If I was to do 100,000 steps again, I would try and make the scenery more exciting (but keeping it flat) so it didn't feel like such a slow, maybe exploring a new city somewhere
You've done ultra's? That's awesome. I've done 3 full marathons and 10 halfs. I've always wanted to do a 50k or a 50 miler but haven't done those. I started running in my 40's so I got a late start. Congrats on all your accomplishments!!
@@padude131 Yes! Got a few of them documented on my channel in the 'races' playlist. Congrats on your running achievements. Starting slightly later is better than not starting at all!
Nice! I walked 21k today for the first time, almost was 4hours of walking. Did you do alot of training for this challenge?And what was your max steps before this challenge?
No training specifically for this challenge! I just ran a lot at the time and wanted to give walking a big distance a try. I'm happy it was a success!
well done mate, I'm going to do my 100k at oct 10th, wish me luck haha
Did you get it?
@@user-ww8nz2hi3l I did :) started at 5am and kept walking non-stop until 8:30pm.
Congratulations on your 100k!!
Good job, that's not an easy thing to do, my target is 50.000 steps.
Thanks! You'll be able to smash 50,000 steps, I'm sure. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, that was my biggest downfall during my first 50,000 steps. Best of luck
❤️
I did 41K Steps 19 days ago
very good. I have just done it in a quarantine hotel in Hong Kong
hahahha really?!
Wow, amazing!
God job🙂
Thankyou!!
Now for the 50 mile challenge. :D
Where do I sign up!?
100,000 steps is 50 miles
@@Scott.Farkus for me, it was 48 miles
This person would have passed away after the walk
I can confirm that I am still alive :)
@@runningcafe1 Congragulations.
How will a Doctor feel about this.
I know I'm 2 years late..love seeing all the commenters lying about doing this.. no way I'm a seasoned walker I understand how amazing this was..lol. great job, I walk about 18,000 steps a day..about 13,000 with my cattle dog in the morning 5 or 6,000 more in the afternoon at they gym on incline. I would never attempt 100,000..lol and I walk every single day and have for years.
Hey, thanks for the comment!
I know what you mean about how hard this challenge is. I was in lots of pain afterwards, had blisters, skin peeling off my feet etc. I've done ultramarathons where I've run over 100,000 steps in a day but my feet didn't hurt as much then compared to after this walking challenge. Walking is a different type of stress on your feet altogether compared to running, more time on the ground!
18,000 steps a day is a decent amount and brilliant to maintain fitness, nice work.
Thanks again
I've completed 50000 steps in a day and that's was awful. I can't even imagine what doubling feels like!
It was tough that's for sure! I'm in no hurry to do it again haha
@@runningcafe1 haha I bet you not! Fantastic achievement though! Congratulations!
Good job
Thanks!
@@runningcafe1 wtf why don’t you have more subs?? You are killin’ this content.. just be consisent and you will be famous. Mark my words!
@@howtogetawaywith8896 Ahh thanks so much for the kind words mate, much appreciated. I'll definitely aim to stay consistent and keep doing what I enjoy with this channel! All the best
I’m thinking anything up to around 30,000-40,000 steps is exercise. And beyond that it’s a “challenge”... a very interesting thing to attempt but maybe not a positive thing for the body.
Yep, it definitely wasn't fun for the feet after 50,000 or so steps.
I did 100k on May 7 to celebrate my 52nd birthday. It was such a great experience.
Congratulations, that's amazing!!
That is like 20 hours of walking.
lol one of my family members had to do this every day for about a year
What a lie.
Bullshit
Danger: debilitating risk of injury to knees, ankles and hips. Don't try this please.
It depends on your age, genetics, shoes, walking technique, strategy for taking on the challenge, your history with injuries, and what condition you're currently in. For example, I took this on and I was fine within a couple of days but others may not be able to (due to the factors I mentioned).
As they say… “Use it or lose it!”
Very over the top warning, people in shape should be able to do this with little adverse effects, and even then only in the short term.
