Thank you. I think I couldn't see it when I wasn't logged in. Or who knows . Anyway, I appreciate the help!

Strava chopped 10 seconds off my run. It is 30:04 on my garmin and in garminconnect, but 29:54 in Strava. I set up the auto sync so it isn't showing up in the challenge (because it is under 30:00). Is there anyway I can fix this? Or correct it in Strava?

Thanks!

When I click that link it takes me to the right page, but also logs me out. When I log in it I can see the log in page briefly, my pw manager fills everything in and I'm automatically taken to the start of the forum, when I click through to the site, or copy the url, I'm not logged in anymore.
When I did manage to get to the challenge page while logged in, nothing happens when I click 'enroll'. Using the latest version of firefox.

Just manually enter the run if you want credit. I don't think Ericthebiking can help you if Stava cut your run "short". Next time all you Strava guys to be "safe", just run a bit longer.

Strava will autopause your run whether you like it or not. So if you took a 30s pee break or whatever but left your garmin running (don't have autopause on), strava will see that you weren't moving and subtract that from your run.

Strangely, when you run on the treadmill it's the opposite. If you take a 5 min break in the middle of the run and pause your garmin, strava will add those 5 minutes onto your run and reduce your average pace.

Same here. I ran 30:04 (shown correctly on GC) and Strava conveniently shortened it to 29:59. I made no stops and am not sure why it does that. I'll just manually edit it once the sync with Strava is done.

I need David to get on here and shout at you guys and say, "stop spending so much time worrying about recording your runs and editing files......just friggin RUN LONGER rather than spending that time in front of a computer wondering what software is mucking up you recording" sheeeesh people, the challenge is about actually exercising vs recording exercising (think about the difference between the sale guy making money to actually make the company healthy vs the finance guy playing number shenanigans to report nice values to Wall Street)....the main thing is taking care of getting healthier/stronger.....not the recording!

OK rant mode off.

Today, I am putting in print that I WILL NOT run. My body will benefit from a break after two days of really hard hammering on snowshoes where my cardio, hip flexors and quads are screaming and I hardly get any "mileage" credit on this challenge...that's what you get for running with weights on your feet in quicksand.

You're already making me sorry I joined this thing. Can you lighten up? FFS, it's a couple of people talking about how Strava cuts off time.

The 100/100 challenge gods must look down upon those going for the bare minimum. Now, it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Well, like Brian, for example, has 37 pieces of flair. And a terrific smile.

Hey, welcome! The easiest way to get to the challenges is to visit the training log home page, which is linked on the main ST page under "Training" -> "Training Log". This will take you to http://log.slowtwitch.com/ -- http://training.slowtwitch.com/ also works -- and from there it will automatically create your login and sign you in with your slowtwitch user ID.

From there, go to the challenges page and find the 100/100.

Thanks,

Hey TriStart! Are you logged into the training log? It should show "Welcome, TriStart" at the top right of the page. If so, the enroll button should work unless you have javascript turned off. When you click enroll, it should reload the page when the request comes back affirmatively from the server.

If you can't get in, PM me and I'll dig deeper. It should be pretty straightforward.

Hey sammie,

Strava reports two times for activities: the total (elapsed) time and the moving time. For now the log picks up the moving time. To be 100% sure that you get 30 minutes moving time you'd always want to go a little over.

Now, having said that, if I were you I'd just bump the workout in the log up to 30:04 in this case. That's really stupid and you shouldn't lose the run.

Thanks Eric, tried in Chrome and it did work there. I guess java in Firefox isn't switched on. Connected it to Strava and first 3 runs are in (did a 5k park run on Saturday but that took me less than 30 min, I would go over with the 1k warmup, but that was about 5 min before the start). Aiming for 70-80 runs.

That's great, congrats! Welcome to the challenge.

What I do while watching college basketball on the treadmill is that I run for my 30 minutes, THEN keep going at least until the next commercial break/media time out, i.e., the first dead ball after 4-minute intervals (beyond the 16:00, 12:00, 8:00 and 4:00 minute mark of each half)

The steadiest runner must be H2OFun who has 6 out of his last 10 runs exactly at 30 minutes and 4.17 miles. Wow.

Could be treadmill set at 8.34 miles per hour...that should be 7:12 per mile. Not sure how you set it for 8:34 but that could be the average of two speeds or a few speeds between warmup, some sections at faster speed and then cooling down?

I dare you to duplicate that :-)

It doesn't seem like my workouts are automatically syncing to the Slowtwitch log from Strava. Not exactly sure how long it should take from the time I upload my workouts into Strava before they will show up in the log but so far I have had to go into my profile and click the "Synchronize Now" buttom each time. Is that what I will need to do each time or am I missing something? Thanks!

Pauli might be busy with being a member of Finnish parliament and all but one can always try. :-D

You are right, it is balmy still. We get -20°C usually in Jan-Feb.

Oulu is about 500 km north from Lahti. My name is also on the participants list for IM70.3 Lahti next summer.
So far I have been only running but there is still time to get things rolling.

5th day of the challenge. Still did only about 30 min run but these last two runs have been feeling ok and the flu is subsiding. Maybe next run will be somewhat longer. My biggest weakness over the years has been consistency so I try to moderate myself this time.

I am all about instant gratification. So I manually upload. :-)

You're not missing anything. There's no auto sync. You've got to hit synchronize after every workout. Better than entering the workout without data though.

Hey, Fuzzy, it's not automatic yet. For now, just click Synchronize Now from time to time.

Thanks,

-Eric
