what does the number 2000 represent? wouldn't that usually indicate you've done it 2000 times?
It does. I’m on 774.

Correct. It means I’ve done 2000 5Ks. There’s just no separate award. If you look up 5Ks in the awards section, it shows how many you have and that’s where the screenshot is from.
 
Apple has no award for this running milestone, but I'm rather proud of it, so I just cropped a screenshot to make my own. I would have had this years ago, but my average daily run was 3 miles for years until I found out I needed to run .11 miles further. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure that mine has been counting since I owned my first watch, since my total right now is 890 and my 10k total is 239. From 2017 through 2019 I averaged a 10k four days a week, and two of the other three I ran at least a 5k.

Since 2020 I've dealt with injuries that have lowered the totals, but this year I am running 5 days a week and three of the days I run at least 10k, two of the days I run at least 5k.

I'll have to go through my logs to get a total count for each to see where it should be.

As for June's activity challenge, as predicted after a two week vacation this month with no workouts, the walk or run 5.9 miles per day 14 times is now at 13 with one day to go and a ~4.4 mile run scheduled tomorrow. Whether I'll walk around an additional 1.5 miles is possible!

"Earn this award by walking and running at least 5.95 miles on 14 different days this month."

I *should* be able to do this, but I am on vacation for 13 days this month, and don't plan on any workouts wheel I am gone, but should be walking a lot while I am gone. But if I don't make it, always, that's ok.
I made it on the last day.

Interesting, to me anyway, that my Cardio Fitness dropped from 53.6 ultimately to 51.2 (yesterday, after a week of workouts after two weeks of no aerobic workouts.) Today it bumped up to 51.7; but I’m interested to see how long it takes to get back to 53.6.

At least you have normal numbers. I'm stuck in the "gutter" and don't know why. I don't even know how to improve my score other than running (maybe?) but I hate running.

yep, I'm at ~ 21 despite indoor cycling for ~ 60 min every day ... but yes, AW/Health only calculates cardio fitness when doing a running workout, might do it with an outdoor walk, can't remember.I don't do run/walk workouts either.
Oh well, I'll survive ;)

You can get estimates from third-party apps and enter those manually.

Well, it's a bit concerning to me that it says "Below Average" when everything else looks ok. I do "Outdoor Walk" pretty much 99% of the time and every morning. I walk for two miles at a pretty decent rate. Then I usually end up with five or six miles on the day. But yea, I'm sure I'll survive as well. :)

Yea, I feel that for my age group I'm probably above average for fitness level, but, not sure that I really care about this ;)

My actual totals:

10K runs - 376
5K runs - 1140

I guess I was wrong about how often I ran 10ks, but to be fair, there are a lot of 6.0 to 6.15 mile runs in that time period.

Based on my logs and estimations, it looks like they started counting around 4/25/2018 - which is a weird date. Perhaps it was added with a watchOS / iOS update that spring?

As it turns out, the answer is 30 days. 14 days of no workouts, then 30 days of daily aerobic workouts.

I'd read in the past that it takes two days of working out for every day of a workout missed, so I guess that tracks.
