they count. it's 2mi OR 20min. if either is achieved it's a run.

The winter apocalypse has arrived here in Texas... And I'm not colocated with my treadmill. I may have to run circles in my living room for 20 minutes. Maybe figure eights to keep things balanced. It's a very small room.

Thanks for the reply. That’s the way I read it. They don’t seem to be adding to my run tally. I should be at 39 but the last three don’t show up on counter. 🤷‍♂️

So I just did a little test. I manually added a 2.1 mile run in Strava and gave it a time of 15:00. After Strava sync that run shows up in my tracker but not a run of 2.0 miles that is 14:00, 15:00, or 16:00. Maybe a bug? Anyone else having this issue?

I am not. Are your runs separated by a 60 minute gap? 60 minutes from the end of the first to the start of the second?

Yes. A day apart usually. Are you loading from Strava?

Yes. Always strava. Just did at lunch.

They show up in the ST workout calendar and in my ST list of workouts. Just not in the 100/100? I’m stuck at 36 runs unless I run longer than 2.0. Dunno?

So I went into the ST training log and manually changed my last three runs from 2.00 miles to 2.01 miles and they get added to the 100/100. When I do that I am actually one spot in front of you Tom!

Refresh. You are at 39, just in front of me.

Ah yes. Others have had that same issue before with exactly 2.00.

Eta: now I have to run 20 minutes in circles in my living room. 😉

You shouldn't have to do that anymore. There was a miles-to-meters rounding error in the formula that I've corrected.

Cheers, strong work!

Thank you sir!

Sigh. I tested positive for covid on Friday, our youngest daughter (34) tested positive on Wed. Doing fine...basically it's been a bad cold after the fever broke. I had a scratchy throat Thursday evening, and a fever overnight. The fever was under control by Friday morning.

We had Xmas plans with the parents and my sister's family. Obviously, that's been scrubbed.... Will replan for early January.

Hope everyone stays healthy and keeps on running, and has a great holiday!

Oh man

So sorry to hear that!

Feel better soon

Blue - Just out of curiosity I looked at your recent runs on the training log, and it looks like you are only getting a little under 100 cal/mi on your runs. Are you really light in weight??? The treadmills I use at the gym give me about 150 cal/mi at 180 lb, 6'2", and 7 % fat. Assuming a straight line graph,100 cal/mi would imply about 120 lb, and you appear to be getting around 98 cal/mi or roughly 117 lb weight. Are you that light or is this a case of diff treadmills giving diff cal/mi??? And if you are that light, how tall??? Just curious b/c of your incredible ability to crank out 130-140 mi/wk, with an avg of about 90 mi/wk over last 6 weeks.

"Anyone can be who they want to be IF they have the HUNGER and the DRIVE."

Hey eric - I'm 6'0" about 164lbs right now, but I have raced at 155lbs recently. I'm not sure where the calorie data is coming from. I use a very old sole treadmill with a Garmin that uses bluetooth to connect to the zwift app on android phone. My weight is mostly accurate on Garmin Connect and Zwift. I was running consistent 90+ mpw on the pavement this fall, so a string of 120+ on mostly treadmill has been surprisingly well received by my body. Time to run in my schedule has been my biggest issue lately. I had a slow start to the 100 days because I was coming off a marathon, but after healing up for 3 weeks, jumping back into the high mileage has been going well for me.

"If it costs you 30 minutes at Maryland so what" -dwreal

My treadmill gives 95 cal/mile at 0% incline and 210 at 12% for someone 150 lbs. Extrapolating to 180 lbs that would be 114 at 0% and 252 at 12%.

I wish I could talk about 7% fat. I'm 5'4", 158 lb, and "I don't want to know" body fat. I HAVE broken through one set point, i.e. about 3 lbs, for my almost 500 miles of "slogging" at about 25 lbs over race weight, but at least I can blame 2 family birthdays + Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a 66-year old metabolism.

Blue: Fantastic job; helps me keep going during the times each day when I'm just not into it. (And do you also live in Maryland, or is it just your tag line?)

Tom H: I know you've passed through a lot; I hope you're on top of things soon and your holiday isn't entirely ruined.

mistressk: Phenomenal photos with great commentary. Allows me to "live it" without having to feel the cold parts of it. (I've had hypothermia in over 20 races.)

dev: Thanks for getting these things going. Your June 2021 challenge helped me drop from 167 to 155 and get off my mono-thematic focus on academia (+wife and 6 kids) and inspired me to get off my duff after almost 2 decades out of sport.

rcmioga: Wishing you a great recovery now that you're "bionic".

Eric (and Dr. Tigerchik): Hoping between your swim mileage and "Tiger's" Fish threads I'll be inspired to create a soggier version of myself, even though I think I'll tank the sales of any wetsuit I wear (when I can fit in one again.)

All right. Back to lurking.

Flew back Xmas day from extreme cold Florida to sunny San Diego.. got in 1am, woke up 5am to join a 5k where I quit as leader ,(let's not shoot fish in a barrel) and joined to push a chair for a bit

Thanks. Yeah, I'm doing better. I had a course of paxlovid going within 15 hours of onset. Cough& drainage are starting to subside, requiring less OTC drugs to manage. Yesterday, I was clock watching for the next dosage windows. Today, I'm annoyed by the alarm going off...and, waiting another hour or two before bothering to get up and go take the next round of tylenol or sudafed PE.

My daughter got molnupiravir instead (pax. interacted with some other drugs she takes). It has been a slower road for her. I think she went a little longer before she was able to get a script, and Molnupiravir is less effective than pax, also. So, its taking a little longer for her to get onto a improving slope.

Strangely, my wife has been completely immune to it all. Normally, I would say she has the least robust of immune systems.

That's awesome! Very nice.

Well, I guess it's a bit of a "crap shoot" as to how many cals we really burn in running or whatever. Swimming is even less precise than running with estimates all over the place, I guess due to the big effect of a person's form on how easily they swim. As a realistic person on ST said sometime ago, the only we can know with relative certainty are numbers on the scale, e.g. whether our weight is going up or down, or staying relatively constant. :)

"Anyone can be who they want to be IF they have the HUNGER and the DRIVE."

Hi, I don’t post much but I like reading the forum and I often learn stuff here. I was thinking about this challenge beforehand, but I took a big spill on a trail and blew out my shoulder before it got going. That required some time off until vibration no longer hurt when running, so I was off to a late start.

Now, the running frequency challenge fits pretty well with my return to action, so I decided to late sign up and see how well I can do by the end. 100/ 100 is still my goal, although I have a little catching up to do.

So far, the challenge has nudged me out the door on a few ‘marginal’ days, running in snow, with lights in the forest in the dark, and even on hotel treadmills when traveling for work, which I never used to bother with. So… mission accomplished already!

I’m not much of a photographer, but I run some interesting places. Maybe I’ll see if I can take some decent photos to post. Looking forward to following the rest of everyone’s challenge and hopefully picking up some extra motivation along the way.

i would LOVE to see pics of where you're running.

Welcome, and thanks for de-lurking!!!


That sucks, but ...

You could use the training log as an "official" counter and try to get as many runs in as you can before it closes March, then just add in you own remaining days of "overtime" until you reach 100
