This sounds fab, and the badges look fab too! Sadly I don't use theA10 app, so I can't prove my mileage 😔

On another tack, I've only got 15k left to go on The Fellowship challenge and had notification this morning that the next challenge - Mines of Moria - is open. Keep on stepping 😁😁😁

CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to Over60sRunner

Well, we go by trust! So if you tell me what distance you achieved, and we have a badge for it, we can award! 🤣 (I might change the wording to make this clearer)

Amazing, I'm sure you are well on your way to get the 1000Mile badge, if not achieved already?

Over60sRunner profile image
Over60sRunner1000miles per year in reply to CBDB

According to Fitbit I have covered 1909.42km in the past 12 months which equates to 1186.45 miles so, yes, I have done in excess of 1000 miles in the past year - phew 😶

Well done 👏👏

CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to Doris8

Surely you must have also clocked up 1000Miles, Doris8 ? But then I don’t know what represents more mileage: 1000Miles per year, or 10k walking achievements. Either way, we have got some amazing walkers in our midst! I aspire to both your levels of distances!

Doris8 profile image
Doris81000miles per year in reply to CBDB

Yes I have CBDB . 15 days ago I posted a map coloured in of my 1000 miles. It was called 1000 mile challenge complete. , but there wasn’t a badge for 1000 miles so just chose the 19 km because I knew I had done that one. You commented on the post I completed as well. 😊

CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to Doris8

Yes, amazing! How could I forget that coloured map! Well m, we do have a 1000Mile badge, so I’ve just awarded you that one! It just feels like such an awesome achievement!

You got the first badge!!!!! Brrrillliant!!!

These forum badges are not quite as colourful as the Active 10 App ones, but they still express how awesome your walking achievements are!

Doris81000miles per year

Hi CBDB the badges look cool. Since I have completed my 1000 mile challenge , finished it on 7 th november. At first it was a lot to think about, going out just about every day and trying not to miss, but it’s been worth it, some days doing more than others. I would like to claim the badge Walk10km which I done on my birthday, and I am not on the ActiveApp, just Garmin. My sheet I did my 1000 miles on goes to 52 weeks but since completed early will finish it off for the year, Think Mr D will do the 1000 mile challenge next year2024. Thanks .

CBDBAdministrator in reply to Doris8

That’s amazing! Such a shame that we can only award one badge at any one time, as it sounds like you earned quite a few!

Have just awarded you our second ever (!) badge, and must say, it looks good on you! Amazing achievement!

ToothPickJafahWalked 5k

Ooooh! Do I qualify for a badge?? 🤗

And today I walked 4.715k - 2.93miles…

Haven’t done regular walking for a couple of weeks but gonna get back to that soon!

Active10
CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to ToothPickJafah

Can’t quite tell if this would be A20 or A30 (e.g. walked 20min three times a week, or walked 30 minutes three times a week). In terms of distance, you missed the 5k badge by 285 meters (doh!), so let me know if you get them in today, as I can award you then a shiny 5k badge! Alternatively there is the next best thing, a 3k badge!

At the moment, I awarded you a 20min (three times per week) badge but let me know if you want me to change it to something just as awesome!

Awesome achievement! Those colourful app badges speak volumes of the mighty walks you’ve done!!!

ToothPickJafah profile image
ToothPickJafahWalked 5k in reply to CBDB

This is the total distance I’ve walked today so far according to my Apple Watch 5.955k - 3.70 miles…does that count?

But thank you for the shiny badge!! 🤗

This is giving me motivation to get out there and walk more!! You are awesome 🤩 and I appreciate you!

Total walking today so far…

AlMorr profile image
AlMorr1000miles per year

On average I walk 30 kilometres a week, Sunday usually around 12K, on a Monday about 6K, Tuesday 4K, Wednesday is my running day as Saturday is too, on a Thursday I walk with my walking group 4K but to get there and back you can add 4K, I usually have a 6K walk on a Friday, am I entitled to a virtual walking badge?

CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to AlMorr

Amazing! Yes! Now which one would you like?

Just adding all of that up, my calculations suggest you’ve clocked up your 1000Miles in 12 months! So I’ve awarded you the “10000Miles per year” badge! Awesome.

What an awesome amount of walking!

I take nothing less than 8000 steps a day and exercise for at least 30 minutes 4/7.

That is fabulous! Here’s your A30 badge!

Sounds like walking has become important in your daily routine. Well done!

Yes it is, it's part of my treatment plan so I have to do it and I enjoy doing it because it makes me feel better. Thanks for the badges.

MisplacedAlpacaA30min a day

I didn't even know this was a thing! App downloaded this morning and I've already logged 5 x active 10s with 257 mins of total walking. 19257 steps. I can't seem to add an image as the image icon is greyed out.

CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to MisplacedAlpaca

that’s awesome! 👏l👏👏👏👏 I fear we don’t have an A50 badge but do have an A30 badge. And if you manage an hour of active walking three times a week, let me know, as we have an A60min badge.

That’s a brilliant achievement!

Hope you also enjoy the app! It has much more colourful badges!

CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to CBDB

Lol 😂 I noticed I said we don’t have an A50 badge, which is correct, but my pic suggests otherwise! 🤣🤣🤣 must change the pic! 🤣🤣(sorry for the confusion)

MisplacedAlpaca profile image

Amazing thank you 😊 how do I claim it or is it automatically applied to my profile? Not very good with new things 😂

CBDB profile image
CBDBAdministrator in reply to MisplacedAlpaca

Our badges are much less colourful than the ones in the app and I can see your badge beside your name. Here, in the pic I’ve circled it for you!

A little badge for a great achievement! Well done!

I would like to claim the 2000 miles award! I actually track all this in Excel (downloaded from Apple Health), so here's a screenshot of my totals. My new 2023 goal is now 2500 miles, which I'll probably reach this week 😎 possibly tomorrow...

I did it one step at a time 🤣

Seriously, though, a lot of it is commuting on foot to work - that's 30 km per week already...

Now, ….. which badge would you like? Sadly we can display only one, so I’ve pinned the 1000 mile a year one, but let me know if you’d like a different one.

Huge congrats!!!! Amazing distances!!!
