> All this progress also motivates me to constantly optimise. Next step: Buy good shoes and convert some of that walking distance into running distance. (70 minutes of walking per day are a bit long, but doable. However, with some running I can bring that time down.)

Or look into barefoot running. It might be better for your joints. (It anecdotally works that way for me and some friends.)

That only works if you have a place to do it. Inner-city, for example, probably isn't the place you want to be running with no protection on your feet. Or places where there may be metal or glass on your running surface.

I'm doing inner-city barefooting just fine. But yeah, you better watch out where you step.
