- Still not sure why I did this lol.
Yes, I CHOSE to walk 100,000 steps from Uppsala Central Station to Stockholm Central Station in Sweden. This is over 70 kilometers (44.6 miles). Google thinks this only takes 16 hours, but I can assure you... it's much longer!
I went through many places Swedish towns and places along the way, including Knivsta, Vrå, Coop, Bergsbrunna, Nyby, Björksta (but not really), Upplands Väsby, Odensala, Rotebro, Märsta, Rosersberg, Sollentuna, Silverdal, Ulriksdals Slott, Hagaparken, Odenplan, and Norrmalm.
I really hope you enjoy the video. Please give it a like if you do!

Zeducation sent me here & happy to be here!
Yay! Happy to have you here :D
Same, pretty good advertising huh.... Wonder who's idea that was?? My bet is it's not the guy who sent us here 😂😂😂
100,000 steps is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for helping Desmond's channel become a great success 🎉
Yeah, me too. 😍
Same here. He also got me to sub to Deev.
Can't wait for Tyler to make this a punishment. "You laugh, you lose and you have to walk 100k steps in one day." In all seriousness, amazing accomplishment!
😄👍
Please don't give him ideas. He already wanted us to set our thermostats to 80, and I still haven't forgiven him for that Kamala Laugh punishment.
Yeah...I thought 80 was a wee bit cool
I passed this along to Zed... stay tuned for this Sunday ;)
@@MeaganAfterDark Oh man LOLOL and here we were congratulating you
It was lots of fun doing this with you and grateful for the conversations and the funny moments! Let's hopefully do another challenge soon! 😊
Var det wettex som gjorde att du pallade hela vägen?
Strongt att du fortsatte.. jag hade nog vart envis och gjort det också...
@@Satanistiskt-Initiativ Kan inte överskatta hur mycket Wettex hjälpte haha!
@@Ailasor Önskar jag hade filmat resten men sista 20k var orimligt roliga, sprang runt med fulla människor och gick vilse i skogen i Bergshamra vid midnatt 😅Överlag fantastisk upplevelse
Nice to see you posting videos again! Looking forward to your upcoming projects :)
I think what I love the most is that you didn't give up. You think you did, but you laced up your shoes and started right where you left off... And finished your goal. That's determination. That's grit. That's styrka.
Just from your videos, strangers in Sweden seem a LOT nicer and more trustworthy than strangers here in the States.
Tape your feet with Leukoplast tejp (the beige woven one, red and white packaging. 2.5cm wide) on toes, ball and heel, it'll be like a tough extra skin. Also have a few pair of extra socks to change when your feet get moist. Tricks I learnt in the army for long walks, works well.
You’re back in Sweden!! That’s great! 👏😁👍🇸🇪
What you did was a massive accomplishment! Most people only walk a mile a day or less. Im proud of you!!! Thank you for showing us your country step by aching step 😊
11:34 "Some snacks for the road" got me bursting into tears and laughter
I can’t believe how invested I became! Over someone walking in the countryside! 🤭
I was actually disappointed when the video ended….. I wanted more! 😅
You made it *fun* Meagan! 😁
Thanks Momma want!! :)
I LOVE the end of this video. It does not matter you could not finish it in one day. YOU WENT BACK!!! That's what matters. YOU DID IT!!!!! Meagan and Fadel, you both ROCK!!!!!
I just read this comment half way through the video and stopped watching. I was only watching to see what time they completed the trek. Now that I know they didn’t, I’m not going to finish watching. I should have figured they wouldn’t make it because it was already light out when they started.
@@literbikemike2670 Fadel made it all the way. Meagan made it 80k steps in that day. 80k is DAMN good for one day. Most people don't even get in 10k.
You missed Mora Stenar where the first Kings where chosen in Sweden in 600AD. Also there are three farms Edebybro that was owned by my family since the 1600ds. Carl von Linné bought land from us in 1730 to build a road to his farms Edeby and Hammarby. Also Danmark is old Scandinavian and means ”low lands”. A thousend years ago the waterway from Gamla Uppsala and Vaxholm was on these nowadays farmfields. My grandfather is portrayed in the ceiling of Danmarks bygdegård.
This is actually super fascinating!
Some 20 years ago I walked from Nikkaluokta up to the top of Kebnekaise ( highest mountain in Sweden ) and then back. A little over 60km in mountain terrain and 36 hours awake.
With no previous experience really, and hardly any special gear.
Humans are capable of incredible things when "forced" to it.
Great job and nice to see many places I know.
Greetings from Uppsala Sweden.
Tyler sent me over; immediate thumbs up and subscribe - even better video than I expected though; your editing definitely improves the experience. Great stuff and I look forward to more.
Huuuge accomplishment! You managed to walk an ultra marathon, not a feat many could do!
And as a woman, I'm so grateful you were able to get a man to walk all that way with you. I don't know how safe it is walking by yourself over there, but during your intro clip I was a little worried you were doing that all by yourself. I'm glad you have a friend like him over there.
She could have walked all by herself. Sweden is still very safe when it comes to this. But you don´t just take fruit from peoples trees. Very stupid.
All listen to your biased nonsense. You are more likely to get physically assaulted in all forms as a man. If you weren't just ignorantly "for women" in every case you'd be telling women to walk men to their cars because it would make the men safer... but you don't really care about any of that. You care about yourself and other women as to the extent it helps you and use anybody around you to help yourself.
@@marcusblackbird3603 Even with all the immigrants they brought in? The number of rapes and murders has gone up in Sweden drastically since then.
Sweden is pretty safe. Honestly most of the US is fine too. It's not as dangerous as the news makes it seem.
@@marcusblackbird3603especially since if it's any sort of orchard it probably has pesticides all over it. Don't just eat fruit from trees.
This is crazy, i thought YESTERDAY "I wonder where Meagan went, havent seen her videos in forever" and here we are.. Glad you're back!
Crazy! I'm happy to be back!
I walked a number of miles in the cold and wow... the leg lock up.
That was nothing compared to your length, so congrats on going THAT far, Megan! ❤
Great to have you back Meagan! Really cool that you chose to begin the journey in my hometown. It made it even more interesting to watch 😊.
80,000 steps in one day is still an amazing accomplishment and warrants the most amount of accolades that I could bestow. I’m happy to see you making videos again and am looking forward to watch for what other adventures you share!!!
What an insane trip you guys did. Just wanted to point out for safety reasons you should always walk on the left side of the road to meet the cars instead of have them come up behind you. It also makes it easier for cars to see that you spotted them.
Yes, this! Impressive walking though!
It’s also Swedish law that if there is no sidewalk, you should, if possible, walk on the left side against traffic. The same goes on bike lanes where both bicyclists and pedestrians share the path. So it’s not just something you should just do for your personal safety. (Trafikförordningen 7 kap. 1 §)
It's Sweden. Cars drive on the opposite sides of the road than here.
@@donadeavera9608 Where is here and how is that relevant?
Over 80k is amazing! Dont beat yourself up over it. You did great! We're all proud of you.
Har saknat dina videor!! Du är en så härlig person 😍 Vilken galen men kul grej att gå så långt, aj aj stackars fötter 😆
Roligt att du är tillbaka! Kul idé och kul att titta på! Ibland är det enkla också det bästa.
Impressive, my personal best is 64000 steps but that was a combination of Upplandsleden and Gästrikeleden and barely any paved surfaces. And the last couple of hours were not enjoyable, but it felt really good afterwards knowing I had done Dalälven -> Gävle. Paved surfaces are much worse for joints.
My wife and I walked across Bavaria back in 2017. 464 km of fun, joy and pain
How long did that take?!
Very inspiring!
This is what we, the human beings need to do, if only once!
We need to do these things every now and then to remind ourselves what we're actually capable of. I'm positive this is the best remedy for depression. Or maybe more like "förebyggande".
Meagan! Tyler sent me. Happy to be here! Subscribed! ❤🎉
Every year tens of thousands of people in The Netherlands walk the famous "Vijf Daagse" (Five Days) which means they walk 50 kilometers per day, four days in a row.
Walking such distances takes courage, determination and discipline and that's why most people train for it.
I think your walk is right up there.
Is the fifth day for partying?
I found your channel through Zeducation today. You have great content and I hope you make more. Also watched the Svedka video. I’ll be watching a lot more this week.
Yep me too. It's ZED'S fault 😂❤ we'll try to behave 😅
I love you Meagan! I appreciate everything you do! Tyler sent me here, but I have been waiting for your channel
Just had to give you a 'like' for effort. Very well done Meagan. Plus it was very interesting to see the countryside there.
I'm glad you can look back on this as a fun experience. It was definitely a fun video, easy to say on this side of the screen from that crazy goal and 80,000+ steps in one day, and I love the views of the countryside and towns. Thank you very much for sharing.
That close up shot of the pale silver/golden wheat mixed with tiny purple flowers is lovely. 😊
I walked 20 miles in one day. The pain in my feet, legs, ass and lower back was ridiculous.... I was stiff for days. So, don't feel bad for not making it in one day.... Amazing accomplishment!
20 miles in my 20's you're right..6 miles in my 50's,at end of journey I couldn't climb 4 steps to get to door.❤ ❤stay young ❤
@@1outtolunch I did it at 40...lol
I am so happy for you. I used to be able to knock out 10k steps a day, but I had a post op stroke when I was 63. Six years later, with lots of PT and encouragement, especially watching people like you , I am almost back to 5000 steps now and then. Your story gives me hope to keep on keeping on. 🏁👌👍
Omg so long time ago you uploaded let’s gooooooo!
Haha, let's go!! :)
Wooow, this video is so inspiring! Huge respect to you for continuing and completing the challenge on day 2. 👏🏻🙌🏼
Very impressive. You did great Meagan; that's definitely not something I could ever see myself doing. - Don't be afraid to show the more difficult and darker parts of your journey and consequences from the tests of endurance your put yourself through.
Must say this was a fun watch, your videos are a delight :)
I enjoyed this. Thank you for bringing us along with you on this arduous journey. You are out there living boldly, a great role model for young women.
You did it! That's what matters most. What a great accomplishment. Proud of you Meagan.
Whatever inspires the phrase "Well this was unexpected" is so often a really great highlight 😀🧡
So insanely proud of you!!! I began watching with nervous anticipation and watched you push through the pain for THOUSANDS of steps. I was relieved when you stopped for the day. I was grateful that you continued when you recovered and were able to smile again!! Maybe next time you can bring a couple different pairs of good shoes and take power naps for your brain and body to recover a bit? I’m just really glad to see that you accomplished those steps, even if it took longer than you wanted. Great job! Great video! Success!!
Great video! You did amazing... 50K less than a year before and then you walked 80K before finishing the 100! And congrats to Fadel! After watching the video I knew it was a 1 or 2 on the Fun Type, regardless of the pain. And your editing for Tyler is hilariously awesome! TY!
Came here from Zed. As painful as this likely was, I think I'd like to try something like this one day in my life (probably not for this long, though lol).
Do what is challenging for you. Most people will find 15 miles a pretty stiff challenge, although that's easy for people who are used to it.
Nice.
My family walked from Binghamton, NY to Niagara Falls as a family vacation once. (387 miles / 623 km. in 21 days.)
EVERYONE thought we were crazy, but we had Fun while doing it and the memories were Fun afterward as well.
We met so many nice people on our adventure that it restored five jaded teenagers' Faith in Humanity. LOL
I have run ultras, marathons and hiked and run crazy mountains, but never have I done more than 75k steps in a day.
YOU ARE A BEAST!!!!! or just a bit crazy.
Good effort. The most I usually do is 8 to 10 miles a day hiking for work in an 8 hour day. I'm an archaeologist that works in remote areas. 80,000 steps is pretty impressive.
This was a wonderful video to watch. I like that they have fruit trees along the way for you to enjoy.
I walked 10,000 steps once and got a herniated disc I'm my lower back...two months later I still can't walk right 🤣..great job, Meagan !
Your trek brought back memories of so many days from my time in the Infantry. Various marches we did would fall into each of your "fun" categories. There's always another adventure around the corner. Before your next challenge, go to some of the military sites and look under ruck marches. There, you'll be able to find tips and tricks on what one can do to save their feet during long trips.
PS: Just so you know, Tyler sent me this way to help you out. So if you'd like to, you can thank him in one of your edit notes. 😉
That is cool that you are able to walk that far and still have amenities along the way. That looks like fun.
Happy to see that you are back in Sweden. Walking from Uppsala to Stockholm is a crazy idea though. Love it 😍
My father spent his whole life talking about the time when he was a teenager and he has his mother drop him and a friend off 25 miles from home and they hiked back on the old rail bed so the way to home. He obviously was more proud of that, or at least it has more important to him than the degrees he got or his backpacking trips in Europe he took in college. I actually don't remember him talking about those hardly at all. But i heard about his trip from Pittsfield plenty of times. I went on a three day hiking trip following the old Bailey-Hazen military road when we were in High School and that is still a stand out memory for me, for various reasons. I think these things are a great idea if you can pull it off. Do the Long Trail, or just go between cities. It will feel like a real achievement, and it teaches you that you can get places if you need to, no matter what. People these days are to used to having a car. They honestly think that if you can't get a ride, well there is no way to travel where they need to go. That's like five miles away, i can't possibly get there! You can literally walk anywhere there is a place to walk. In fact, it's the most mobile form of transportation in terms of all terrain ability. You can go places without roads. And you can definitely do hundreds of miles, it will just take you some time to do it. People used to do it all the time. Most people never went more than a few miles from home, but when they had to get somewhere, most of them just walked. It's the simplest and most basic form of transportation. And theoretically free, besides from whatever you need to avoid starving or dying from exposure. 20 miles in a day is a relatively easy and doable pace for any generally fit person. Whole armies used to travel around at that pace, and covered whole regions that way. So when you see people laughing at the early trains or automobiles because they could travel _twenty miles an hour_ remember that to them, this was a new technology that could cover the same distance in an hour that it used to take a whole day to cover. At best you had horses and a wagon, which might do it a little faster and with less effort, but not much. And trust me, traveling 200 miles in a car at 20mph is still far faster and less effort than walking 200 miles. Although you don't get to see as much. One of the great losses when we stopped using horses is that you didn't have the time or spare attention to see what's going by. Not that there is much worth seeing in most modern roads. The opposite, they don't want you distracted.
Hey Megan! Thanks for sharing. Looks like you guys had a great time even though you had to fight Through the pain. Sweden is such a beautiful place. I enjoyed seeing the scenery. I know you can do it the next time you try! 😊👍❤️
It is so wonderful to 'see' you Megan! Zeducation seems to enjoy keeping you not seen on his channel. 😀
I remember hiking from Winslow Arizona to the Grand Canyon just shy of 53 hours stopping to see the sights along the way, just over 316 thousand steps. So, I feel ya. You and anyone else are awesome for taking to the road like that. Great work.
Im really impressed anyway! Incredible what you did. Many people consider just bicycling Uppsala - Stockholm to be an big achievement.. and prepare for weeks.
Hi Meagan and Fadel, this your 100k steps challenge video inspired me to give it a try and today I accually managed to finish it off from Uppsala to Stockholm.👋🙂
Haha well done! I made the same journey many years ago, and exactly like you, my breaking point was Sollentuna. Amazing experience tho, and I can relate to everything! :D
Lovely to see you again with a nice video!
Funny you said that about snails, I accidentally stepped on one today. Glad I had shoes on.
You guys did an amazing feat. You are crazy but amazing. Fadel seemed like a great companion to share this adventure with.
You're pretty darn cool. I don't hardly ever watch videos this long but you earned it. Thank you for sharing this amazing trip. Zed sent me here and I'm glad he did. I've always loved your laugh and sense of humor. Don't get any ideas, I'm happily married for 30 years. :-) Subbed and looking forward to see what crazy things you have planned.
Tyler's shoutout made me realize that I TOTALLY want to be subscribed to your channel! I still laugh about when you told Tyler that he doesn't ALWAYS think about that red onions are purple.
That is still the hardest I have ever seen him laugh 😂 So happy to have you here!
Thanks for sharing your journey! Congratulations! Have fun and enjoy life!
The sign you were asking about "Tomgångskörning max 1 minut" means "Idling (with any type of motor vehicle except an electric car I guess) maximum 1 minute". You see them in most small towns and cities. 🙂
Oh interesting! Thanks for explaining :)
I wish I could still walk just a mile these days. What you did was amazing.
You are impressive! What a delight.
Way to go Meagan! We're proud of you. We also really loved your music choices.
Cozy vibes you did good. Was a fun watch 👌
Now i wanna walk somewhere!!! Inspiring!!
2 hours would be my limit.
But you keep walking in interesting places and sharing. 😂😂
Sounds fun!
I confess, Tyler made me watch 😅 I have to give you a lot of credit for doing what you did and then for going back to finish 👍 I doubt I could come close without a lot of training.
The 35 miles in a day that you did achieve is pretty amazing for someone who doesn't walk big miles like that regularly.
Army basic training. Was NOT having fun during but realized how much fun it actually was after the fact. 😢 I do miss it some days 😂
Crazy endavour! Well done, my feet and legs would not recover that quickly!
Congratulations, huge accomplishment! It was fun watching and cheering you on. Maybe next time walk the opposite. ❤
There were a father/son team of Hollywood directors named Christian Nyby & Christian Nyby II who made many great movies and TV shows with credits between them from the 40's to the early 2000's. They both directed multiple episodes of one of my all time fave TV programs, Adam-12. Just wanted to throw that in there while you went through Nyby. Love the episode, Meagan!
Tyler Zedd sent me here. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work
Love all you do, Meagan!
Your definition of fun is like comparing three types of nice "food". The first is cake and it is really nice and when you think about it you want cake. The second is when you have some new to you food like say, octopus. You are not sure about it at the time but later realise that it was very good. The third is when you try to eat a house brick and realise its not food.
Our flight to NY from the UK was cancelled, so we missed out on an entire day in NY and had to squash everything into 4 days, rather than five. One of those 4 days in Manhattan, I did 73,000 steps in ONE day. I had blisters all over my feet but at least I went up the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Ground Zero, Central Park and more. I ached all over… we slept the next day for several HOURS! I will never do 70+ thousand steps ever again. I can usually manage about 20k.
What an crazy endeavour! A real feat and great memory. You both can be proud of your achievments. Really nice to see another vlog.
WTG!! Thanks for sharing this with everyone!
20:11 🤣🤣 Meagan you crack me up! Come visit Trinity County, CA sometime. I'll put you up for a week in my studio and we can go go snail hunting and caterpillar hunting lol. I want to see you reaction when you find a giant mommy slug surrounded by a dozen teeny tiny baby slugs lol
Enjoyed this heaps :) ... the misery was hilarious!
82,000 steps is quite an achievement!!! Maybe, do some training and try again next year. I think you did great, i think for my after I reach my physical limit, I still have my mental reserve to work through as well. So it's a mind, also physical battle of attrition.
both of you got 2 hours of sleep? Suspect.. Wink wink.. This is a complete change from Zeducation. I like it..
Yes! Way to go!! I walked 108,000 steps last year. I planned to only walk 100,000 but we decided to go to 50 miles. It was the most awful and lovely thing ever. I genuinely thought I might die while getting into bed.
This year we went for 35 miles. Which was 72,000 steps. Still very hard and painful but much more manageable.
I came over here from Zeducation and I'm glad I did, great video 🎉
Congrats to you two. I just walked my son around Cincinnati Zoo for 5 hours and I was ready to saw my legs off to end the pain.
What a great video and even greater accomplishment for walking so far! Thanks for bringing us along, and I’m looking forward to your further adventures. 😀
Hey Megan I appreciate all your hard work on the Zeducation channel. 👍👍
I remember watching you guys when y'all only had like 3-4 videos over there & not too many subs.
Hey hard work pays off I guess huh!
You guys are all doing awesome work over there and I hope y'all can keep things going good for years to come!
Thought I'd come over here and give you that sub!
Have a good one!
Hi, Tyler sent me, and I am enjoying your video more than you enjoyed your walk. Cool tip I learned recently learned, when you get cramps, if you eat one or two packets of yellow mustard, most of the time the cramps will go away. Have a blessed day. My most steps in a day was 36,000 and that was at Disney world, Fl.
This sounds like a prank to make me eat a bunch of mustard packets 😂
@@MeaganAfterDark Megan, I am 66 yo, I only do that to my kids and fellow Marines. I have two packets sitting on my desk at this very moment, But it's up to you next time you get a cramp you'll remember this and wonder.
Runner shoes, and socks with no seams is a must when walking for long. I recognise some part of the walk from where I live lol. Nice nice.
Was it Björksta?
Great video, well done Meagan.
Wow! CONGRADULATIONS 80,000 steps.. That was alot of steps I have been walking daily myself...started 4 months ago and I can get 30,000 steps. Maybe I could someday get 50,000 but man that's alot of walking
I'm impressed! Especially considering the shoes that you used. They don't seem to be add much support at all. :)
Damn that was quite a walk. I walked about half of it a month or so ago ( 40 km ) and was completely exhausted after that, had pain in both my feet, back and hips.
Thought it was really well done, I would think it would be easier to do it if it's not on tarmac
