This sounds good, initially anyway:
Early next year, NHS England will launch a "marathon a month" challenge, asking people to walk for around 30 minutes a day.
Those who do it every day will hit roughly 26 miles a month - the distance of a marathon.
Users will be able to log their walks online, or through their phone or smartwatch.
And the NHS says those who complete the challenge will then be eligible for rewards - which could include incentives and discounts.
The prize should be access to a GP appointment though, or save up enough to jump a waiting list! Not the inevitable free Greggs or Nake Wines voucher.
My step count definitely been suffering this year, and I've not run at all for three weeks now. Got to pick this up again.
Sunny and a gentle breeze, 13 - 21℃.
