    I'm liking the idea of what is your percentage for your goal. Since we all strive for different totals perhaps, % of your own goal makes more sense - don't ya think?

    Probably would apply to weight loss too, since last 5 lbs can be so difficult, but would be great to see what % of total goal.

    I also like the percentage idea.

    My totals on Aug 20 (64.5% of 31 days):

    -- Swim 7.78 miles (62.5% of 12 miles)
    -- Bike 41.1 (76.6% of 53.6 miles)
    -- Hike 46.9 (64.8% of 75 miles),
    -- Elevation gain 2.350m (78.5% of 3,000m)

    In theory I'm on track to reach all of my goals :bigsmile:

    %'s are scary. I don't want to see how far off track I am this month...

    My friend your goals are sky high, you're over 50% on each one of them. Don't worry about %s, you move a ****load of miles anyway

    So if I had to do Spin bike because of rain, and I can look at past rides and see how far I would have gone with that avg HR, can I put in underestimated calculated ride?
