July Activity Challenge

[Seanyboy]

[doublepost=1562838058][/doublepost]This is bull - but it keeps happening to me. I get a reasonable challenge. July’s was to reach 200% of my move goal for 30 days. A reasonable challenge as I do that most days anyway.
I think it is because I wear my old series 0 while my 4 is charging. The monthly challenge normally changes to something ridiculous when I swap watches.

Apple’s calculations are a tad off on this one. 7.8 x 31 = 241.8

So 256.4 - 241.8 = 14.6... what’s this, magical miles?

They don't make it clear, but on my phone, that 7.8 represents what I need per day for the rest of the month given my miles so far.

I have the same challenge this month, and mine started out at 10.1 miles/day (314.2 total). After the first week I was ahead, and it dropped to 9.x/day. Last week, I only ran every other day and replaced the other 3 runs with cycling to let a minor muscle twinge heal, so now I'm a bit behind (11.1/day). (I biked 154.7 miles, including 83 yesterday, but I lost ground because I only ran 33.5 miles, plus a couple miles per day of walking.)

I'm at 16,031 of 31,000 cals on day 15 - so basically one day to spare so far.

Thats what i thought, until I checked how much I had left and calculated the miles. Was still off. I’m up to 9.2 miles a day subtracting what I already did. But the activity app says 8 miles a day.

Mine is similar... close the exercise ring 15 times in July. I've done 5 so far...

How are you doing so far? I’ve closed my exercise ring 9 times so far. I’m going on vacation for a week so I want to finish the challenge before then. We can do this!

I had to do a restore and re-pair, and the challenge is now gone

Did you backup using iCloud or iTunes?

Did you backup using iCloud or iTunes?

The data came through from iCloud without the iCloud backup. Looks like I've lost some data as my 500 and 1000 move goals have been reset.

Just hit #9 yesterday as well! I'll be doing workouts 3 days this week, which will bring me to 12 by the end of Friday. I'll be able to finish it up over the weekend and next week.

Yes, we can do this!

This is going to be a tough one.

[markhort]

1506 excercise minutes so far, target 1900. I'm doing alright actually.

 

[john991]

I’m at 189 miles of 256 miles so far. 7.5 miles / day (running and walking)

should be manageable as I’m on vacation.

 

[millerj123]

I’m at 126 out of 175 miles. Still on target.

36,131 of 49,500 calories burned. I originally wasn't going to go for this goal, but I decided a week in to push for it. Things are going well so far.

I'd forgotten about the monthly awards until I saw this thread. Mine is 3,200 exercise minutes. Despite doing a 100k walk during the month, which meant over 1,000 minutes in 24 hours, I'm still quite a bit off the pace and don't think I'm going to hit it.

 

[Momof2.1107]

I’m at 1576 exercise minutes out of 1660. I’ll hit this goal before the last day.

I'm off to a strong start, but averaging 120 minutes of exercise per day is gonna be tough.

Reached the goal with a few days to spare. I'll probably end up with around 4,500 minutes. This has been my best month in several years.

100k walk? Nice! Was that for a competition? I was recently reading a Wikipedia entry about extreme walking competitions of the early 1900s. Among the most extreme of these competitors was a guy who walked 1 mile every hour for 1,000 hours. Absolutely fascinating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrianism

I reached my goal sometime either yesterday or this past Thursday.

Nice work. I'm on 1780 out of 1900 target.

 

[phessler]

Passed my challenge of 1290 exercise minutes yesterday. Bring on August!

I’m close. I hope to get it by end of day tomorrow.
