As I've mentioned before, Honey walks about five mornings a week, while I walk less often and fewer miles. She does about five miles a day - I usually walk about a half mile.
Yesterday, she told me that I shouldn't be concentrating on distance, but on the amount of time I walk. She said that when I do walk, I walk too fast - I do that half mile in about eight or nine minutes. She told me to ignore the miles and concentrate walking for a longer period of time, building the time up a minute or so at a time.
I tried it this morning.
I walked for fifteen minutes (Honey walks for about an hour and forty/forty five) straight. I actually didn't get any farther, but I did feel more tired when I got home. That seems counterintuitive, but I think it was mostly because I hadn't walked at all in a couple of weeks.
