Section of the magazine
Almost everything in this section is walking, because walking is the movement that survives a full week. The entries are about distance you already cover: the loop round the building after lunch, the stop before your stop, the pace that suits the moment, and the difference between six short walks and one long one.
Entries in this section
Every entry carries the date it was written. The dates are the only figures on this site that we ask anybody to take on trust, and they are the reason the order below is worth reading in either direction.

No official body sets a length for a long walk. Pace turns minutes into miles, walking clubs grade by climb and terrain as well as distance, and an hour on foot is where this magazine draws the line.

Two people can walk the same total minutes in a week and have completely different weeks. Short walks break up a working day. A long walk empties two hours of it. Make the short ones the habit and the long one the event.

A slow walk and a brisk walk are two different habits that happen to use the same pavement. They are not points on a scale, they do different jobs, and picking the wrong one for the moment is the usual mistake.

Ten minutes is too short to feel like exercise and too long to be nothing, which is exactly why it survives. We look at why a loop beats a destination, and at the three ways the habit usually dies in its second week.
The habits in Movement and Walking run into two neighbours more often than into any others. The first is Stress and Calm, where the question of calm is taken up from the other side, and the second is Desk and Posture, which handles the the desk end of the same subject. Readers who prefer to follow the dates rather than the sections can do that from the front page, where every entry is listed in the order it was written.
