![]() ![]() How he did it: The week I turned 70, I set out to walk 70,000 steps in one day, which I had been planning to do for months. How long did it take? 16 hours and 30 minutes Don’t get into that frame of mind where you think, ‘I’ve walked so much, I can just stop now.’ If I had stopped at 80K, I would have had to do 80K all over again just to get back to that point, and I didn’t want to do that.

I planned my route so that I was never walking more than 3 hours straight without a destination spot, such as a coffee shop or gas station. I wore an old pair of sneakers, comfortable shorts, a loose tank top, a sports bra with no tags, and good running socks. I knew I would be walking for about 50 miles give or take, carrying my phone in my hand, sunglasses and a hat on my head, and a credit card, photo ID, and chapstick in my pocket.
