Your body is listening to every ordinary day.
Breathe with the sun for a minute: four counts in, hold, out, hold. Then see what your everyday steps add up to.
About 4.5 km a day,1,643 km a year: the length of39 marathons, just from living.
A step is about 0.75 m; yours may be longer or shorter. A marathon is 42.195 km.
We tend to treat health as a project: a diet, a programme, a fresh start on Monday. But the body mostly keeps track of ordinary days. How you breathe when you are stressed. How far you walk without noticing. How you sleep.
Breathe, then add it up

A practice for today
Ten minutes after a meal
Today, walk for ten minutes after one meal. No tracking and no target.
Notice how you feel an hour later. That is the whole practice.
The app we made for this
PaceShift is for when the walking turns into running: marathon training that adapts to how your runs actually go, not to a plan written for someone else.
