Milestones and personal bests

Milestones are thresholds you reach by walking, such as your first 25 km. Personal bests are your records. Both happen automatically, and a milestone you've reached is never taken back.

Milestones

Thresholds you reach by walking. They stay yours. You don’t join milestones; they happen as you walk. There are four tracks:

Track Thresholds What counts
Distance walked 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 km GPS-measured outdoor walks recorded in Mova
Walking days 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 365 days Days with a walk of 5 minutes or more
Completed walks 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 250 walks Walks recorded and saved in Mova
Goal days 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 365 days Days you reached your daily step goal

If you use miles, the distance thresholds are shown in miles.

A walk counts for Walking days and Completed walks when it’s saved in Mova and lasts at least 5 minutes. Everyday steps, warm-ups and stretches don’t count for these tracks; for Distance walked, neither do Health distance or a distance you entered from a treadmill.

Milestones: latest milestone 25 km walked, and progress on each track.
Milestones (example data).

Tap a track to see your next milestone and how much is to go. Reached milestones are never taken back. If a GPS correction later lowers your total, Mova says so, and the milestone stays reached.

Personal bests

Mova keeps three records:

  • Most steps in one day (finished days only)
  • Longest recorded walk (GPS distance of outdoor walks)
  • Longest walking time

When two days tie, the earlier date keeps the record. Your first walk recorded in Mova sets your first records.

Personal bests: most steps in one day, longest recorded walk and longest walking time, and a note that fastest pace isn’t a record.

Why isn’t my fastest pace a record?

Not a record yet: phone GPS isn’t reliable enough for a fair pace. Pace is still shown for each walk.
