🎃 Challenge: Complete 1 mile every day (walk or run) for 31 days in October!
🗓️ Dates: October 1 – October 31
🏃 How it Works:
– Walk or run 1 mile each day—indoors or outdoors—it’s your choice!
– While you’re welcome to do more, only 1 mile will count per day toward your 31-mile goal.
– Log your mile daily in the app to stay on track and keep your streak alive!* (You’ll be responsible for tallying your total as you go.)
💡 Pro Tip:
Make it part of your daily routine—whether it’s a morning walk, an evening jog, or during lunch breaks. Keep it fun and aim for consistency!

Workout Strategy and Flow
- Happy 2nd Day of Deload Week.
- Today we start with a bit of cardio before moving into a strength piece.
- Set a timer on your watch or phone and just move. Each round will be a total of 5 Minutes with varying times of running (easy-moderate pace) and walking. This is a great opportunity to get in your daily steps (and October 31 Mile for the day)!
What does easy-moderate look like?:
- Effort Level: About 5-6 out of 10 on a perceived effort scale. You’re working, but it feels controlled and sustainable.
- Breathing: You should be able to talk in short sentences without struggling for breath, though it’s not effortless. It’s a “slightly challenging but comfortable” pace.
