How Many Garmin Badges Can You Collect In A Week? - YouTube - The Running Channel

Intro: This is a quick summary of How Many Garmin Badges Can You Collect In A Week? from The Running Channel. It’s a fun watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the badge‑hunt today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

• The challenge is all about multi‑sport variety – running, walking, cycling, treadmill, HIIT, yoga and a long weekend run all count toward different Garmin badges.
• Early‑morning runs (e.g., a 5 km run before 7 am) snag the Early Riser badge; a 1‑mile run is enough for the One Mile badge.
• A simple HIIT circuit (mountain climbers, jumping jacks, core work, thrusters – 3 rounds) earns a HIIT badge.
• Consistent step‑count (e.g., 15 k steps in a day) and a 10 k treadmill run give you the 10 k and Step badges.
• Long runs (13 mi on Sunday) and a night run after 10 pm unlock the 13‑mile and Night badges; a half‑marathon (13.1 mi) nets the Half Marathon badge.
• Rest days, yoga sessions and even a 22‑second indoor walk still count – the idea is to stay active in any way you can.

Workout Example (you can copy this week‑long plan):

1. Day 1 – Morning Run: 5 km (3.1 mi) run before 7 am → Early Riser + One Mile badges.
2. Day 2 – Walk + Treadmill: 10 km (6.2 mi) walk + 10 km (6.2 mi) treadmill run → 10 k badge.
3. Day 3 – HIIT Session: 3 rounds of 30 s mountain climbers, 30 s jumping jacks, 30 s core, 30 s thrusters (no equipment needed) → HIIT badge.
4. Day 4 – Yoga/Recovery: 20‑minute gentle yoga flow → Yoga badge (3 sessions over the weekend needed).
5. Day 5 – Long Run: 13 mi (21 km) steady run (zone 2 or comfortable pace) → 13‑mile badge.
6. Day 6 – Night Run: 5 km (3.1 mi) run after 10 pm → Night badge.
7. Day 7 – Half Marathon: 13.1 mi (21.1 km) run (or split into two sessions) → Half Marathon badge. All distances are shown in miles (or km where “k” is used). Adjust the paces to suit your current fitness and let the Pacing app record each activity for badge tracking.

Closing Note: Give the badge challenge a go, mix up your activities, and customize the paces in the Pacing app to fit your schedule. Have fun collecting those Garmin badges – and don’t forget to watch the full video for extra tips and the creators’ personal results!
