    I make ~63 miles round trip from east London to Slough 4 times a week. This is pretty brutal, as it usually works out about 75 minutes each way, 55 of which is in lengthy London's traffic jams

    This worked out to ~400 in claimed mileage last month

    I walk from my bedroom to my study each day.

    Last time I wasn't at home, I did a 2 hour train journey Monday and Friday, five minute walk each day between flat and client.

    Hotel - Chester to York (1.5-2 hours drive)
    Hotel to Client - 10mins max.

    I tend to keep any commuting from home to under an hour if possible.

    Previous client (when I was still a contractor) 25 minutes drive each way
    Before that 90 minute 'walk - train - tube' and the same in reverse each day

    Only 115 miles. But it's up the M1 with all the rubbish road works.
    Setting the alarm clock on a Sunday night is the lowest point of the week.
    I stay over Mon - Fri.

    ~18 miles e/w, to client every working day.

    Used to be ~160 miles e/w, until I moved closer to client (long story!)

    1 hour each way.

    Do WFH at least one day a week.
    If you ran you could cut that down to 59 minutes
