Hi Again oldies, and Welcome Newbies to the :smile: :

*** Runners' Team * 50+ and 100+ Miles in April Challenge *

We survived March :bigsmile: , and Hello April! :happy:

*** Checking-in/Joining:

To join, simply let us know your goal mileage, then check-in periodically, reporting your total mileage and what you have done for the day, or if you have a race coming up!

Example Check-in report throughout the month (reporting total mileage in month is the most important statistic for the spreadsheet):

"I ran 5 miles today, I have run a total of 57 miles for the month! (:"

If you like a mileage ticker, here is a "how to thread" describing how to set up and update your ticker:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/413332-runners-team-s-howtos


*** Where to post:

In this (A) thread or in the (B) group check-in thread below with appropriate end date (or both A and B).
A. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/546562--runners-team-50-and-100-miles-in-april
B. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/660-runners-team-challenge-x-miles-in-a-month (join group first)

*** When and Frequency:

We will have check-ins at least once a week on Sundays (see dates on spread sheet). So it would be good to get updates
- at least once weekly on or before Sunday.

Feel free to update us more because is fun to hear from you and what you are accomplishing - and your updates helps us keep inspired too.

*** Spreadsheet:

We will check point your progress within this thread, and with a spreadsheet snapshot below. This spread sheet will change and refresh as April progresses.

*** Runners' Team Challenge Group:

We got a group - it is a bit easier to tally mileage from there, but it seems like most of us also likes a big thread in the main forum for updates and progress - so we are doing both! [both places will be checked when updating the spread sheet].

    I would LOVE to join!... But not sure about how to calculate distance... :-( (I want to do this accurately!)

    I have a Polar FT7 which I thought could log distance but I'm mistaken I think!

    New to distance rather than calorie goals and am excited by it but would appreciate a few hints and ideas.

    Weather was crappy today. Had to settle for an hour on the elliptical instead of running outside today.

    4/1: 16 miles.
