Here's what a four mile grid looks like:
and in close up, here's what 80 metre squares look like:

If we assume 100 players, in 6400 squares, that's a bit of an ask for a lone seeker

Unless they get lucky and find some new seekers early on.

I did 6.5 miles yesterday morning. I only duplicated about 100 yards, and it was all inside the four mile grid in the pics above. That would have got me 152 squares.

Maybe start off with the squares 4 times the size?

Using the entire month of March (that's 73 miles for me), I would have covered 494 of the 6400 potential squares on an 80x80 four mile grid.
Obviously, I wasn't playing the game - so there's a heck of a lot of duplication there for me. But it still looks like I need to make the grid a bit smaller and the squares a bit larger.
Will try a three mile grid, with 40 x 40 squares. Bear with.

Here's the three mile grid, with a 40x40 grid of squares (so each square is about 120 metres). And it shows all the squares I've covered during March:
I run that stripe across the middle a lot, because it's the river and cycle path. If I avoid duplication, and let's assume each square uses up 120 metres of my monthly mileage, I could have covered approx. 979 squares this month. In theory, unless I got unlucky, I should at least unearth *someone* during that time, so that should be enough to trigger more seekers.
I'll go ahead with these dimensions, and if it's too easy / difficult, I can make more adjustments.
