Learn to fall in love with weekly volume goals, not just perfectly round mileage numbers. A really easy way to do this is to set weekly hour goals on strava, and log all of your activities there. If you walk, hike, incline treadmill walk, or do anything else on your feet, you can just log it as a run on Strava and it will aggregate your weekly activity hours together into this bucket. In my opinion, this is *not* overstating your running volume, so long as any ‘time on feet’ you are recording is above a 100BPM average.
Great post! Would standing count? I have a desk job, but the desk adjusts to a standing desk. Does it confer any significant fitness benefit to stand most of the day? I probably use the standing feature 25% of the time currently.
No fitness benefit, but I would say there is a general health benefit to standing more than you sit, if nothing else. I would not attribute any cardiovascular fitness towards standing though.
If you got a treadmill/walking desk, that would be a different story.

Thanks, I appreciate it
