Yes, logging your Grateful Miles on a treadmill is completely fine.
Q: Do I have to log my Grateful Mile right after my walk/run?
Not at all. Please log them here either after your walk/run or even, at the end of the week - whatever is most convenient for you?
Q: What's the best advice you have for someone participating in this challenge?
While the goal of this challenge is to collectively walk/run 18,050 miles, the TRUE objective of the Ocado x Run Grateful challenge is to allow for a deeper connection to gratitude and to also establish a connection among Ocado employees across the world.
Q: Can I take on a Grateful Mile walk/run with family or friends?
Absolutely! In fact, we would love this. However, please note that only Ocado employees’ Grateful Miles count towards this challenge.
