    Yep. I had to take up running a year or two back when I realized I was hardly getting any weightbearing exercise anymore. When I did a lot of rock climbing I got in a fair bit of walking, because getting to the crags involved a sometimes quite strenuous hike in carrying climbing gear, but when I was heavily involved in cycling I had my bicycle with me everywhere and there seemed no reason to walk at all. It felt so slow!

    Exactly this. Walking seems so inefficient to me now, and bad as our road infrastructure is for cyclists, it's even worse for pedestrians. So I'm not really a big walker any more, other than to the closest supermarket and garage which are 5 and 10 minutes walk away respectively. So I walk to those fairly frequently but I haven't done a long walk in ages.
