24 Hours of Exercise per Month Challenge - OCTOBER 2017

JDMac82

Here's the 24 hour challenge thread for OCTOBER. Let's do it again!! And welcome to any newcomers!

The goal is to accomplish at least 24 hours of exercise during the month.(MORE IS GREAT) Any type of activity that you would log in your exercise diary counts (both cardio and strength training) ~ walking, running, paddling, biking, swimming, gardening, weight training, dancing, HIIT, aerobics, elliptical, rowing, circuit training, stretching, etc. You get the idea.

For you BEASTS out there (you know who you are), if you want to do more, just post your personal goal that is over the baseline challenge goal.

And for anyone who wants to join part of the way through, just post a comparable goal to finish out the month (for example, joining half way through, post a goal of 12 hours).

There is no group for this and no private messages needed. No fancy spreadsheets either, just report your running totals here in the thread.

Happy Exercising!!

If you look at the September challenge, you'll see how others have logged their workout times.

Welcome!

I'm in again. October is going to be a busy month for me, but I'm going for 30 hours.

I'm definitely going to participate, again. It was cool to see everybody's workout, in September.

I'll be doing a minimum 32 hours for the month.

I like this idea! I'm currently at about 20 hours (3 hours of judo and 2 of jiu jitsu per week), and I'd like to push myself to do just a little bit more!

Happy October First!

Today, my husband and I finalised the Audax/Randonneuring season's Petit Year Round Randonneur (PYRR) series.

An Audax/Randonneuring season is (for reasons I'm not sure about), from November 1 to October 31. The Petit Year Round Randonneur requires a total of 1200 km for the year, made up of rides from 50 km, 100 km or 150 km in length. You can do the 50s, for example, in the cold winter months, and make up the distance with 150 km rides in warmer months. Also, the rides can be made up of Permanents (official rides that can be done any time) or organised Audax events which can only be done when they are scheduled on the calendar. A bit complicated, but we like the concept for (a) an Audax award, (b) the need for strategising throughout the year to end up with the minimum 1200 km, and (c) it encourages riders back into the sport.

Anyway, we finished the series today with a 50 km. And it was tough!! Much tougher than we expected. 50 km might seem a bit trivial for distance, but this had 500 metres of climbing, and all but one climb were into the wind. Wind? Yep, gusts over 70km/h funnelling down the valleys and directly into the face.

And you need to pay attention to 50s. At the 15km/h minimum speed... you don't get much time to play with before getting to a checkpoint at 37km, as well at the one at 50km. We just made the 37 km one with 13 minutes to spare, after being 15 minutes behind at the top of the last climb. Then we finished the ride 12 minutes within the time limit... after the last big climb that featured 9 to 14% grades.

Phew!! What a way to finish!!


Distance: 51.4 km
Elevation: 500 m
Moving Time: 2:54:22
Elapsed Time: 3:08:20

Speed: Avg: 17.7 km/h | Max: 54.4 km/h
Heart Rate: Avg: 151 bpm | Max: 174 bpm

For the first half of the ride my average heart rate was 158. That's higher than I like for an average HR at my age ... it hurt.


I will do my goal etc. shortly.

New month, new start!
