100 days to 100/100
Quote | Reply
Fortunately, there are not 100 states to do 100 runs of 100K in, but you get the picture. Do we invite Ashley Horner and ask her to post legit runs on Strava, or do we allow her to go on honor system?

All kidding aside, 100/100 starts on Dec 15th. You have 100 days to get ready for it. Don't come complaining to slowman that you got injured going from 1 run to week to 7 runs per week for 3 weeks in a row and then goose eggs for the rest of the winter. This is the time to put in your training to participate in a bogus ST overtraining virtual camp.

Consider yourself warned that we're basically in spring training now before regular season!

New year challenge, 100 runs in 100 days. Saw it on Strava early this year.

Bit early for banging the drum for 100 in 100 isn't it?

I just finished my Summer one



After snapping my running streak at 71 runs for 71 days [81 days in a row] I basically cruised in, doing just about every other day through August to finish with 86/100

I've been doing the 100/100 "stealth-style" for three years now (meaning - I've logged my runs on the ST challenge-site maybe the first 7 days, and forgot after that. Come march I've never taken the time to log my remaining 93 days ! :=)

Can we do this on strava this year - making a club so that all runs and km's are logged automatically? I'm sure someone with the tech-insight can figure out a way to handle the minimum req of 30 min running, and the pussy-rule of doing 15-min running if you do 45min the following day.

When I started in 2006 before ST existed we had 200+ people doing it on a google spreadsheet. Then Herbert asked me if we wanted to bring it into ST and into the ST log. It made sense to do that. If we do it offline on Strava, then it's no longer an ST thing, and does not build towards this community.

One thing about the internet is disaggragation of communities in general from physical ones (communicating with friends next door or down the street) to geographically dispersed ones. Now we have physically dispersed by logically aggregated (for example, I can spend time connecting on ST with people who care about what Daniela Ryf and her race on Frodo's race, and I generally cannot with anyone in my neighbourhood).

Having 100/100 on ST and on the ST log keeps us logically connected with slowtwitch. If we take it to Strava, then it becomes just another stava group thing. I'm not really interested in that. I'm more interested in helping Dan and Herbert keep you guys here.. At a personal level, I've gotten a lot out of the ST community, met great people, been bailed out at races and learned a lot and I think this is the value of keeping it on ST. You can do your workouts and post them on Stava and have them pulled into the ST log and the 100/100 challenge anyway, so I think we have best of both worlds.

Now can we get back to figuring out how many days Ashley Horner lasts on 100/100?

Its been a couple of years for me, but I hope to be ready on 12/15. Anyway, have the issues been fixed that kept ST from pulling activities from Garmin Connect?

I'll join in on this. Not going to log it on ST (already have enough to keep up with between Strava and my personal spreadsheet log). But I'll play along in the shadows. I have a 279 day S, B, or R streak going but I think a 100 R minimum of 30 mins would serve me well.

The ST log can now be auto-linked to Strava. So, if you do strava, you can do ST with minimal additional effort. IIRC, Eric added that just in time for the 100/100 last year.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'll give it a try when the 100 starts.

Wait.....you have gone 279 days without taking a rest day? Impressive! Care to share the details?

Well then Im all good! Agree with all of devs points - though. I’m probably just lazy!:-)

Yes we can pull right from Strava, and I am planning an update / enhancement to it this year to help make it a little more functional and report its progress better.

For Garmin Connect, I'd suggest getting it into Strava and going that way.

By the way, now is the time to pipe up about any enhancements to the log you guys want in advance of the 100/100. One of the biggest last year as we went along was the Gold / Silver / Bronze levels on the leaderboard, so you could see where you were tracking.

I'm thinking this year of adding a permanent profile badge for your accomplishment. I think that would be awesome.

That is always a depressing thread to watch. By the midpoint, most of the posts are regarding injuries that were received and the inability to run for a while due to injuries.

What do you mean you want us to proactively manage our whining so things can be properly architected, engineered and implemented when we can whine at the last moment about things we don't like and expect some magic AI bot to go in and self hack the existing code and automagically do self contained coding sprints without anyone knowing its even happening???

As long as there is a documented process. Sounds very agile!

Speaking of grievances.... How long until the 18/19 thread starts. That's kinda more fun Than the running.

Totally agile! Agile as in I can move stuff around the giant to-do list however it seems best.

Honestly, though, I do track and document every training log request, just because I don't want ideas or issues to slip through the cracks. And as it's a side gig for me, I tend to forget what people ask me for :)

Just to be more clear "before the ST log existed in 2006"....ST did exist before 2006
