[Closed] Endomondo February Challenge

I'm in!

looks like I'n 7th in the January Road challenge, should end up with 1025ish after tonight...

First time I've ever been number 1, woohoo!!!

im in hope i do better in feb then i did in january (21st at the moment) 🙄

Joined the road challenge again - my personal target is to get (a little bit) closer to trio25's total!

Not a hope in hells chance of doing anything, only managed 110 miles in january, all on singletrack though 🙂

But gonna enter anyway, with a personal goal to break 200 singletrack miles.

Right, go on , I'm in.

i'm in, looking for a big february on road and MTB. I came 39th on road in Jan, Top 20 would be great.

Another go at the road challenge in February. Must do better than 178 miles for the month. Aiming for around 500, sickness and equipment failures permitting.

Looking forward to February's Strava's challenge 😆

Joined, for a laugh. Skiing between now and mid-Feb so won't be logging anything. But gives me an incentive to ride later.

Joined the road challenge, be happy if I finish where I did for Jan.

Edit: Doodle, what is Strava's feb challenge?

road challenge for me, 12th for Jan but got 8 or 9th at one stage. Should have done better as its summer here so no excuse for not riding lots.....other than a bit of rain and resultant flooding 8)

I know this is a cycling related forum, but any plans for an STW running challenge, much interest?

Hang on, hang on, I haven't uploaded downloaded whatever the term is, my December rides yet!

Joined the mtb challenge for a laugh and to see how I get on

Ooh, I'm currently first on the road. Also cold, it's 2 hours since I got in and I'm not fully warm yet.

[b]@Plodtv:[/b] There isnt one at the moment but it wont take me long to knock one up. Ill get on it and post it on the chat forum 🙂

EDIT: will have to wait until I get home as the computer at work doesnt want to play the game right now.

my workouts don't seem to be showing, setting changed to public and it says "workouts included in challenges" but i have "no applicable workouts" even though i have

any ideas?

Mtb should be most metres ascended 🙂

rocketdog, are you doing 'cycling sport' workouts?

yep

If doing Cycling Sport then it will show up on the Road challenge, edit the ride to Mountain Biking and it should show up.

Endomondo can sometimes take a long time to update though.

right, will change it and see what happens, cheers

Signed up for the road one though it means all my commutes will now be Cycling sport and not Cycling transport.

it worked, now number 8 in mtb

cheers

moved up to 2, shudda done an extra 4....but my feet would have fallen off they were so cold

im guesing tt/roller miles dont count 😛 do they do hardware that will work with other phones apart from iphone as im using samsung

In for the road just to see how it goes. Would have finished higher last month but for starting late, not having the hardware and not knowing how the hardware worked when I did have it.
Off to a reasonable start. 😀

A respectable 5th for me in January (road). Had a slow start so quite pleased to winch myself up to there.

Right February - bring it! :o)

Hmm slow start to Feb for me. I'll pick it up tonight if my hands don't fall off...

What about cyclocross bikes?

I reckon if the ride has a good proportion of road and a bit of easy off road then it's cycle sport. But if it's the sort of ride you'd more usually use a mountain bike for then it's mountain biking. Sound about right?

Just thinking ahead as I sometime commute by cross bike so I can enjoy the odd cheeky diversion along the way but it's road biking [i]really[/i].

Seems fair to me! Long as it's a higher % road.

Am I being an idiot, or is there no way to view the challenges on the iPhone app?

...for the record I am uploading from my Garmin 310XT.

Hi Jamie, you can't do a lot from the app, you need to go to Endomondo.com on a browser. You should be able to do that from your phone ok though.

Cheers Will! If there's too much off road into the MTB it will go.

🙂

Ah. Was starting to think as much. Bit shit really.

Well, the app is more for actually logging. But yeah, if you're using your Garmin (as I am too) you don't really need it. Handy backup though if you forget your GPS or forget to charge it.

MTB monthly total should be -

Total Acsent/Miles Travelled X Number of sessions

True, but would be quite handy to just boot the app up to have a quick squiz at the challenge results, rather than browse through the website.

Moon on a stick please!

Late start to Feb for me since I've been on holiday.

I sometimes commute on the cx bike as well but as over 75% of the route is off-road I count it as mtb. I usually do it on cx bike so I can blast home on the road and get home earlier.

might as well have a stab at the roadie one. Feel at a bit of a disadvantage living in the mountains though (excuses in early - check)

Looks liek you need excuses bob 😆

keep forgetting to record my rides 🙁

Hmm, my early season promise has been dashed by a bout of sickness last week! Looks like I've got some catching up to do now!

Last day people.

I'm settling for 5th in the road. 1st place has some miles under his belt!!

Knees went pop in early February, cleats need to be properly set up before attempting any distance. Been managing a couple of miles or so at a time. Will have another go next month.

I've swapped the SS for a Rohloff, so, what with the warmer weather as well, I should feel more inclined to take the long way home from work more often with gears to help me up the hills.

I've given up on this 'cos

1. I keep on forgetting to set the GPS

2. When I do it's an extra bit of faff I don't need. I'm always pressed for time.

3. It's on my smartphone and I can't seem to make calls or use the camera without closing down Endomondo

4. It's a very generous GPS - It frequently adds an extra mile or so to my ride into work

5. I ride both offroad and onroad on most of my bike excursions. Which challenge do I fit into ???

5. I'm sick of being in twenty/thirty somethingth place 🙁

Good luck to all those continuing the challenges though 🙂

(EDIT: [i]Point 5, just checked the Endo Challenge page[/i] - or fortieth somethingth place)

I've started the March MTB challenge.

boosh......winner 🙂 Yeha. Do i win jelly babies ?

Anyway, garmin attached. Slow first few weeks with 1 crackin week to finish it off.

Roll on March. Target 1500 miles

Also, lying 3rd in the world wide february-April challenge, although 1st had covered 1900 miles in February 🙁

7th in the road challenge again! Closing in on 2000km, well on target for 12k this year

It's on my smartphone and I can't seem to make calls or use the camera without closing down Endomondo

Might depend on your phone, but certainly on the iPhone Endo continues running in the background while you make calls or take pictures. I'd be surprised if the 'droid version was any different.

Whooh hooh! 3rd runner!

Droid one does indeed keep runnning in the background - assuming you don't use the back key to exit the app. Use the home key and all is well, there's a small icon in the notification bar to show you it's running.

Whooh hooh! 3rd runner!

6th, curses. ... must ... up ... milage ...

Ended up 16th on the Road Challenge, I was hoping for a top 15 finish but dropped out on the last day.
Is there a STW Road Challenge setup for March?

...just call me Forrest Gump.

I am a little worried about you Forrest, that kind of mileage would kill me.

Let's see...8th - not bad I guess. Down from last month's 5th. 1200+ is pretty nuts, chapeau! 🙂

thankyou, 600 miles in 1 week on a training camp in benidorm though!!. Need to get my finger out this month though, hopefully 250 miles by sunday 🙁

You've done marathons. You'll be fine.
