I guess the algorithm worked out that I needed a bit of a rest. This is very welcome!
Little reminder: If you never have had the "medal rain", this month it is the third and last time this year you can get it.
October 31 is a sunday, so a bunch of medals could be earned then:
- perfect week red, blue, green, all three.
-monthly challenge perfectly timed on the last day
- perfect month
- 200%, 300%, 400%
-perhaps some new other records or new discipline medals.
Have fun!
@ TOPIC: my goal is 34900 calories. Will do that.

I have an easy one this month, even with a daily goal of 850 cal.
Of course I get a distance one when I'm injured and can't run. 😭
Sorry to hear that, hope you’ll recover soon
Apparently I burned 21,131 calories last month, so this month it's 22,200. 715 calories a day is also doubling my move goal every day.
Think this might be beyond me. I just don’t have the time. I’ll give it a go.
Actually, there should be an "injured" mode option with some sort of "side" challenges.
Wow. Your November challenge will probably be "Get into the swimming Olympic team, and win Mr. Olympia too."
yea, and, one thing is for sure, the algorithm behind these challenges does NOT ever cut you any slack ...
but we're repeating that discussion every month ...
Wow, this is the first I realized that others have different challenges for the month. I have done well meeting my challengers for the past 12 months until last month I was on vacation for 9 days So half way through it took me out of the challenge. This month I got the close three rings but it is telling me I only have to do it 27 times lol. I guess going on vacation gave me a chance to have an easier month
Very true. Ultimately the issue is the lack of options. We should have three or four options each month, and choose the one that fits our goals better. This month mine does relate to my plan (although it doesn't leave me any pause).
options would be nice indeed, also some more variety would be good and welcomed, not holding my breath though
I think the root of the issue is to Apple this (monthly challenges) is a tiny, inconsequential feature that they just threw in but aren’t too concerned about improving. Their product is so big that they probably have hundreds of things that have a higher priority on their roadmap.
Here is mine for October. As long as I get in long(er) runs on the weekend I can get this one with some time to spare.
Lucky I guess. Last month I had a 40,000 calory goal, which I didn't meet (I think I go around 33,000).Why is Apple so kind to you?
As Apple taketh away, so Apple giveth. 😼
