Can we do just walking, too?

I looked at this more and am a little confused as to in what ‘spirit’ I should do the goal. We’ve been biking most of the summer and let our walking/running slack off to the point where I’m going to be walking for a while before I get back into running. However, I can walk pretty darn far if I want to. Like I said, we’ve been biking instead, so I signed up for the level 1. But if I put my mind to it, I’m liable to go out and walk 15 miles the first week. Should I be joining a challenge for how much I think I can walk? Should I try to exceed my level?

Yes, you can just do walking. There is no speed requirement.
If you are going to walk more than the level’s limit, then you should go up a level. Don’t hurt yourself, however. Paradoxically, limits can help you grow stronger without injury.

I hope you all reach your walking and running goals

Okay, I moved up a level.
This is so exciting!

Laura, thank you for bringing your challenges to RUNNER+! Remember that the challenge feature is still in beta, so if you find anything that doesn’t look right please let me know so I can fix it!
Thanks, Chris http://chris.runnerplus.com/

I need to buy me some of those shoes!
Are they reliable? Because if I put down that much money I don’t want them breaking a month or two down the road.

BTW do you know a good place to buy them for a reasonable price?

John,
You don’t need to buy the Nike+ shoes or iPod to log your miles on Runner+. That’s the cool thing about the website. You can compete without shelling out a lot of money!

This sounds fun. I’ve joined the 1st challange to try to get myself out of the house more.
Thanks, Ginger
