Goal Trophy

- This is the trophy that will be awarded for conquering this challenge.

300 miles may seem like a daunting distance, but spread out over 30 days, members participating in the MapMyFitness.com Cycle 300 Miles in 30 Days Challenge need to cycle only 10 miles per day to meet the goal.

This flexible goal allows MapMyFitness.com members to compete against other participants by cycling 300 miles in any 30-day period. The 30 days must be consecutive, but members need not cycle every day. Members can measure their success against other members. MapMyFitness.com provides participating members with the site's tools, including course mapping with elevation and distance, street and topographical map viewing, and workout logging.

MapMyFitness.com proposes the following simple schedule for success at cycling 300 miles in 30 days:

Week #	Sun	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat	Total
1	15	Rest	15	15	12	Rest	12	69
2	18	Rest	18	18	18	Rest	12	84
3	21	Rest	Rest	Rest	13	Rest	12	60

Great program that allows me to track my rides and mileage. 300 miles per month is easy during the good weather months. It'll be interesting to try and keep up that pace during the cold and rainy seasons when the days become much shorter.

Three days to go and only at 200 miles! Just logged 23 miles. Guess I'll have to go out tonight to make it to 33. Thank God for the bank holiday weekend - I can use Monday to complete just in time. Nothing like cutting it fine!
(Probably shouldn't have taken the running challenge as well - but I do like a challenge!)

Newtomass, verify that all of the information is input including start and end times. It didn't count some of mine originally because I didn't have the start and end times. Also, try clicking on update progress. That is all the help I can offer.

kcbibo, odds are that what happened is you passed the 300 mile mark after 25 days, you got credited for the trophy, and you now have to join a 'new' challenge. That's happened to me every time I've done the 300 miles: I hit the mark before 30 days, and then I have to start the challenge again. You can set the start date to any day you want, as long as the 30 days after haven't passed yet; the 30 days don't have to be the same as the calendar month.

I am a few days new with this site and I think its great. I am working on the 300 miles at 25 percent finished already. The trick I figured out to get your ride to show up right away on your challenge progress is to enter it first under Update Progress under the challenge page, than go to the calender page and click on the new workout (the one you just entered). Edit, go though the steps (you can give more details like heart-rate, mood etc)then save it. go back to the challenge page and it should show new p

Just log your training rides by saving a route, then adding it to your training log. The challenge only updates once a day, so you have to wait until the next day to see your progress updated.

Seems l am a late comer to this challenge. I have no qualms updating my workout (Garmin 50). I just upload it to Garmin Connect, export it back to my computer and upload it from my computer to update my progress. Because my challenge is on a spinner, l have to edit type of activity and distance covered.

For anyone not getting their stats updated, I figured out why mine weren't so you could have the same issue.

When you automatically upload from a device (I have an Edge), the General Type of Workout is not populated. You have to then edit the workout and select a Type of Workout from the drop down box. This by default clears the Activity Detail so you have to repopulate that. Save the changes and the totals on this challenge will be updated.

I love the site and the challenge. However, since March my challenge totals have not reflected my workout totals. For example, I just rode 15.67 on May 1 but it is not listed on my challenge at all. I used to have instant access and it would be correct. I love the site and will continue to use it. I just thought you should know about problems that I am experiencing. Thank you.

I suggest (optionally) taking out the alerts when entering a ride each day, I get tired of clicking the two alert boxes when I log my commute and just want to save now - it would be really good to just have a button that I could click saying 'yes, I rode to work today' or something.

If not, is there a way to set it up to be public so others can use it without having to go through the steps to creating their own?

the "create your own goal" page does NOT let you create anything. You can only choose a new goal from a premade list.

There are other goals I want to go after using this feature (30 miles three times twice per week plus 20 miles one time per week), but it can't be done.

musekidd - thanks for the suggestion. Please feel free to make use of the "create goal" functionality we recently released just for this reason! Check it out - create you own goal now. You start using one of our pre-configured goals, but once created, you are free to modify the goal to whatever you want. You could even create a "Cycle 6,000 Miles in a Year".

parmy and pwntpwn -

We have recently just updated the system to hopefully take care of this issue. What I would suggest you do is the following: Click on "Your Preferences", scroll to the bottom and click on "Quit" - this will delete the old / wrong goal value - now you should be able to sign up for the same goal using the same start / end dates, and once you re-sign up, the goal value should be correctly set to the KM equivelant of 300 miles (IE 483km).

You are correct in the fact that the last day of the goal is counted as a day. Any workouts through the 18th should count towards this goal.

Alternatively I will set my goal as 483km which is the 300mile equivelant.
