Good for you. I have one more badge to go on Active 10 - perfect month. I thought I would do it this month and all went well until the 24th July when I managed to scrape a lot of skin off my shin. As I am on blood thinners I bled a lot and was told to keep my leg up to stop the bleeding. That meant I missed a day and yesterday as well. Sooooo disappointed. Will try again next month.

Yes and always seems to be something that happens that prevent you from doing the full month challenge

Oh noooo! Next month! All badges (but one) is awesome! Are you already pondering of what challenges to hunt for afterwards? Exciting!

woohoo! Amazing!

Just in case you were not aware, we also have little badges (tags behind your name), so see which one fits from the link below and let me know by replying to that post: healthunlocked.com/active10...

Happy walking!

I think I have fulfilled A10, A 20 and A30.

How do I find kilometres on Active 10 please?

I am now doing A50 every day but not sure how to find distance

Sadly we don’t have a A50 badge, as we jumped right to A60.

Yes, I now understand the question. The A10 app only measures times, not distances.

But many walkers use other means to measure distance, from simple mapping, smartphone health apps to Strava and such.

I use an app called SteppsApp, which gives me number of steps, minutes and distances.

On the active 10 app the max I have is 5 badges no 60?

Our ‘badges’ are slightly independent from the app. A10 will mean to us walking 10 minutes at an active pace at least 3 times a week. A30 the same with 30minutes.

Hope this makes sense?

Yes and for me on active 10 is 50 minutes brisk walking 3 times a week
