Man thats wild because my buddy Mike had the same thing happen. He was obsessed with hitting 15k steps at his desk job and it did basically nothing for him. Then he switched to just doing 20 minutes on the stair climber after work, like 4 times a week, and his doctor actually commented on his blood pressure at his next checkup. The tracker stuff is just noise most of the time I swear.

Man I learned that lesson the hard way too, now I always do a quick walk through with a flashlight before I even unspool the cable. Last time I found a rat nest and a busted duct in the same run, saved myself an hour of crawling around in 115 degree heat. It feels like a waste of time at first, but its way better than getting halfway through and having to backtrack. Plus you can spot any sharp metal edges that'll slice your jacket or the cable itself.
