Gall y cynllun arwain at nifer o fanteision eraill yn ogystal â gwella ffitrwydd, gan gynnwys gwella gallu’r disgyblion i ganolbwyntio yn y dosbarth a'u parodrwydd i ddysgu. Gall helpu plant i wneud mwy yn yr awyr agored, cynyddu hunan barch a hyder, a helpu i ddatblygu sgiliau gweithio fel tîm. Fe wyddom fod nifer o ysgolion ar draws Cymru eisoes wedi mabwysiadu'r cynllun Milltir y Dydd, ac rydym wedi cael adborth brwdfrydig iawn gan ddisgyblion, rhieni a staff dysgu am y manteision yn ei sgil.
The Daily Mile has the potential for numerous benefits beyond improved fitness, including improved attention and readiness to learn. It can help children become more engaged with the outdoors, build self-esteem and confidence, and help develop  teamworking skills.  We know that a number of schools across Wales have already adopted the Daily Mile, and we have had enthusiastic feedback from pupils, parents and teaching staff about the many benefits that it brings.
