TIL my train commute adds 47 minutes of walking every day

I tracked my steps for a week using my phone. Walking to and from the station plus switching platforms adds up to about 3 miles daily. That's 15 miles a week just from commuting. Found the stat when I checked my health app last Tuesday. Anyone else notice how much extra movement your commute sneaks in?

Yeah, 3 miles is barely a warmup if your warmup involves marching through a train station with a backpack full of work stuff and dodging people who stop dead in the middle of the walkway. I'm sure Terry would love to try that "barely a warmup" 3-mile sprint through a crowded platform at 8 AM. Maybe we should swap commutes and see how far that warmup gets him.

Oh come on, 3 miles is barely a warm up.

I read somewhere that for some people, 3 miles is genuinely a solid run, not just a warm up.
