Choose Your Own Cardio Challenge (CCC) for April/May

StayFITTer

I typically do challenges on MapMyRun.com but they are not doing one right now. So I Googled and found a challenge (on Virginia Commonwealth University's website) that I wanted to present to the MFP community:

Choose Your Own Cardio Challenge (CCC)
It's all up to you! Choose which type of Cardio you would like to complete for the 5 week time period. If you finish one early, you can choose another!

(My spin: People are more successful when they focus on one goal at a time BUT If you want to do more than one Cardio Challenge at a time then BRING IT!)

Choose from:
Running/Walking: 75 miles
Cycling: 150 miles
Rowing: 75,000 meters
Swimming: 700 lengths
Elliptical: 100 miles

MFPs If you are game, COMMIT by posting choice(s) of cardio. REPORT weekly distances to forum or as they are accomplished.

Registration runs: ongoing (but you do not get to make up the weeks lost)

Challenge runs: Monday, April 2nd – Sunday, May 6 (Five weeks)




StayFITTer's Goal: Running 75 miles and Swimming 700 lengths by Sunday, May 6th

StayFITTer

Well, I guess it's just Me and Me for the time being.

2 miles in today
40 lengths in the pool

That leaves 73 Miles to Run and 660 lengths to go!

Hi, today's my first day with MFP. This sounds great. My goal is 75 mile run/walk.

kzooprincess

I just started MFP on Saturday and would love to join this challenge.

Put me down for 75 miles walking/running.

At work our "wellness team" has put together a pedometer challenge that begins on the 16th of April. 50,000 steps/week for 6 weeks is the goal. That will certainly help with meeting this challenge too!

In. Elliptical 100 miles.

What day is the last day of the week for reporting purposes?

StayFITTer

What day is the last day of the week for reporting purposes?

Sean

Typically you can report back one of two ways:

1) Weekly on Sunday because Monday marks the beginning of a new week.
OR
2) As you Chip Away At Your Cardio Challenge: So if you do a mile, let the forum know as well as how much further you have to go to reach you goal. You can also let us know your game plan for the week.

The second option seems to be more encouraging to other members as well as hold you more accountable.

StayFITTer

Thanks to all the people who have joined the challenge so far.

THERE IS STILL TIME to invite others TO JOIN the challenge. You might be inspired to blog and/or post your progress on your wall.

I ran 3 miles today.

Also you don't have to do your miles consecutively. Today, I didn't get a chance to: .64, 1.30 and 1.20. Though I did a little over 2 miles, I personally been rounding down, but it all counts!

Don't let your busy schedule rule you. You've either committed to this challenge or are considering to commit to this challenge. Either way YOU CAN DO THIS, SO LET'S GO!

StayFITTer: 67 More Miles to Run and 660 More lengths to swim!
