Both running and walking are valid for Fetchpoint and were done in the same session. In any case, as has been said on this thread, before we all have to interpret to a certain extent eg which bugs are inaccessible so if it feels fair to you, that’s good enough for me - “Your game, your rules”
sallykate Nov 2021 12:06pm, 12 Nov 2021 8,429 posts	0 sallykate Thanks all, I'll keep it in mind as an option if needed. I could log the whole thing as cross-training and not get specific about the activity but I'd prefer to keep my running and walking totals separate.

sallykate Nov 2021 12:51pm, 12 Nov 2021 8,431 posts	0 sallykate My runs are all run/walks at the moment, so I'd still like to keep them separate from actual walks. Hoping to find a way to get to 10,000 points but it's tricky in an urban setting without the option of long bike rides to nurture flowers.
Hanneke Nov 2021 1:07pm, 12 Nov 2021 82,018 posts	0 Hanneke Yes, very tricky! I only got to where I got by actively nurturing strings of flowers on my bike... And am dropping fast, as the weather deteriorates and I am doing the absolute minimum... Mind, I would not get out if it wasn't for Fetchpoint and Conquercise!
Sushi. Nov 2021 10:33pm, 12 Nov 2021 32,803 posts	0 Sushi. I’m finding conquercise and Fetchpoint don’t go well together as I do everything on foot. If I clear my bug I don’t often have time to go for a second run far enough away to extend my lawn. Plus don’t build up points watering flowers. My ocd can’t cope with a bug build up. That’s why I stopped. May come back when I’ve got my lawn as big as I realistically can
Hanneke Nov 2021 11:38pm, 12 Nov 2021 82,048 posts	0 Hanneke That is why I haven't made much progress with Conquercise lately. I hope tomorrows bug is somewhere convenient for a quick ride out of the circle, then I want to head out to a walk that extends my lawn.
