What level were you when you got Gold Jogger medal?
I am just curious how quickly, if at all, some of you got to 1000km. I was halfway to level 34 when I got it. In those 1000km I have long since completed my pokedex (even the new babies and evolution).
I work night shift so spend a lot of free time walking/biking at night on my nights off.
Seems to me like this is one of the more difficult medals to achieve. Nor much luck in it like some of the other medals (you're either around steel types or you're not). With 1000km you simply have your app open for 1000km, or you don't get there.
I assume some players in urban areas maybe don't have to put much walking in as pokestops are more plentiful. I'm a mile away from my closest pokestop (a single stop near a public pool) then another 5 miles away from decent stops. Hence, a lot of early morning walks to those areas. Mostly thrpugh protected wetlands...with a lot of wildlife. lol

I'm about to get mine at Level 35 and I am almost at Level 36.
I think it's highly dependent on how you get your XP. I do a lot of mass evolutions with the lucky egg on, so I get XP pretty quickly.
A more interesting metric is how many eggs one has hatched at the point of getting the medal (depends on how many incubators one runs). I run 9 incubators in parallel as much as I can. I've hatched 1450 eggs total during my 1000km distance (I would be very curious to know how many of these were 10k and 5k).
I think the Magikarp, Rattata, Dragon and Pikachu medals are harder to get (before the Santa Chu event for Pikachu but I only got to 200).
Dragon Tamer, as well as Pikachu Fan, is easier to get than Fisherman, which in turn is easier than Youngster.
1. Dratini are not so rare in water biome.
2. Every now and then there's Pikachu nest, let alone the current event.
3. I've caught 1080 Magikarp, out of which 157 are "giant"; while I've caught 750 Rattata, out of which only 71 are "tiny". The ratios are significantly different. Quiet interesting.
