I am typically in the 20-23k 7 day rolling average window. Longer days tend to end up in the low 30s. Curious as to who has to craziest overall step counts. I am guessing it is someone running high mileage who also has an active job.

With or without running? I don’t track my steps but I’d say it has to be well above 20k. If I included my running it has to exceed 50k. I’ve 30k easily on long runs anyway.
With running. Interesting. I believe the only day I broke 50k was a marathon day. Thats a lot of steps!

I don’t have a desk job like all the 14 min 5k guys here. I actually have to move to get paid.
I’m not a runner(anymore), I’m a cyclist but I still average 35 000 steps a day.
After some brief calculations, 12.
20-30k, actual rest days a about once a month 10k
25-30k for an average week. Hiking days can easily exceed 50k.

How?
interesting question. i'm at low mileage these days (30 mpw trying to build up) and i'm usually a little over 10K. yesterday i hit 15K - 6 miles easy AM, walking to the gym and back (~2 mi total) PM. sedentary work from home job. 6 miles only gets me 8-9K steps on its own.
Some stats for you hhw.
In July I've averaged 18,500 step/day and 11 miles/day (running), In June it was 15,000 steps/day and 9 miles/day.
Ive only had one off day since mid April but I try to keep them under 1000 steps. Had some <400 days with Covid. 75,000 steps the day of JFK50M
-RS
I have no idea - I'm low-income and don't know how to figure those things out. Lol.
I don't count them.
I walk 3-5 miles/day. And other exercise on top of that.
I thought only soccer moms counted their steps

Not buying that at all. 10,000 steps might be 5 miles walking, you are walking close to 20 miles/day?
Don't think so.

I walk everywhere I go. I do not own a vehicle(never have)and I rarely use transit system.
Is counting steps really a thing? How? Why?

It's a thing because of the fat movement. I don't know, maybe sometime in the last 10 years
people started counting their steps with electronic gadgets they'd add to their shoes.
It's about aiming for 10,000 steps a day.
I think all the people who ate 10,000 calories a day decided if they turned them into steps it might improve their health.
Honestly I never paid attention until I started using my new Garmin 245 which automatically counts your steps and logs all the data into Garmin Connect. I think a lot of people can now see how many steps they are actually taking - at least according to the watch.
Most days running and walking the dog put me over 20,000 easily but I do work a standard office job sitting in front of a computer.

Exactly that’s impractical, I used to work comercial construction 8-10 hours days I would average daily 10k-14k steps a day, I used to run min 6 miles a day after work and that would put me in the 20k-25k steps per day averag. Anyone claiming something above that without running is pretty much saying they walk for 8+ hours a day. Highly improbable
