What are your ideas for potential FitRep rewards?

In January last year, FitRep was released which is the weekly pop-up you see each Monday which tells you how much you walked in the week before. A month later, Niantic revealed that they're planning (or had planned) to give out rewards based on how much an agent walked, with the tiers being 8km/24km/56km.
During January of this year, a bug report was opened that the rewards aren't implemented which was closed with a note that "No fitrep rewards have been implemented yet. Right now it is just a summary."
If you could decide, what are some rewards you'd like to see for the 8km, 24km and/or 56km tier?

8km - Low level rewards for KCap recipes
24km - Higher level rewards for KCap recipes
56km - 24km rewards + a Rare Kinetic Capsule
8km. A Kcap.
24km. A kcap, a stack of R7s & X7s.
56km. Two Kcaps, more R7s _ X7s & some heat sinks.
Anything beat pokeballs lol
How about rewarding me with an option to skip the annoying FitRep popup that comes up if I happen to restart the client on a Monday.
I don't know about a reward for FitRep because we now have kcaps since that announcement.
If there was any reward, I guess materials for a program or two would make more sense.
K cap materials
1 rKC by tiers and add a 100+ km tiers
8 pieces of L8 Ultrastrikes.
As an update, per a response, FitRep rewards are deprioritised for the time being.
Cynic here...
Any rewards would have to be relatively small because it's far too easy to cheat that with a $15 device. Materials for kcap recipes would be around the right level.
I think my response would be - what IS the team working on??
Given that we have kinetic capsules we are already receiving rewards for the distance walked.
And given that it is possible to acquire kinetic capsules in a normal playing environment with a very low probability of success, it is not an urgent need at this time.
And, while we don't think that there are any old-school Ingress agents out there who are that crazy, even if you can get an item for walking distance, it better be of a value that doesn't involve wielding multiple smartphones with electromagnetic pendulum devices all night long, as some games do.
1 kinetic capsule/tier...
So a max of 3 each week...
Not too OP in my opinion
That works too. The rewards are the items you made along the way.
Only give a kcap if 56km or more per week. That's a measly 8km per day. Anything less give 'em a useless mod. Make it actual rewards for actually doing something. Not just a participation item.
Then again I'm the one that wants a key duplication kcap recipe for like 50km distance. Step up and show off. Pun intended.
+ a 100km or more tiers.
56km a week is really a minimum someone should walk
@Khatre That's a bit abliest, no? Ingress is played by people of all ages and physical abilities and not everyone is physically capable of walking 56 km in a week.
He thinks everyone lives in a city with 3 mil portals and have unlimited time to play.
Dunno, my mom has had 3 knee replacements (one replaced a 2nd time damn that Rheumatoid Arthritis) and she does more than that in a week. Gotta get those steps in!
Adventure sync makes all that walking you do outside of Ingress count as well. Don't forget that. I walk around at work to different areas of the building multiple times a day. It can add up pretty quickly.
If the weather will start behaving locally and people stop dumping noontime meetings on me, I'm gonna start taking walks during lunch again here soon.😎
Nonsense when people don't have the same infrastructure or availability of places to visit. The three tiers are sufficient.
