 2011 Holiday Run Challenge

8 Days, Sunday to Sunday, 12/25 to 1/1



Stay fit and have fun this holiday season -- Join your crazy EN teammates for an 8-Day Run Challenge. This is a solo challenge to keep all of us fit and active over the gap week between Christmas and New Years...especially if you can't score a trainer to ride on! If you want to you can "align" yourself with a Team just by putting a team name in the tracking spreadsheet. 

  • Last year we had a TON folks play.  This year we want to beat the 2009 participant number of 119!  So out goal is 120 folks!  Let's do it!
  • Agian this year: Compete with your 2008, 2009, or 2010 self...try to beat the numbers!

So lace up your shoes, fire up your Internet connection and start planning those runs!



Point Scoring:

  • 1 point per mile run.
  • 1 additional point for each hour run (whole numbers only 1, 2, etc.)

  • 1 additional point for a run in sub-32 degrees weather.
  • 1 additional point for each mile run at (or above) Threshold Pace (10k pace).

  • 5 bonus points for running all 8 days of challenge.
  • Note: This runs on the honor system, please only post your actual run results.
Rewards:
  • Fitness is it's own reward...really!
  • We'll have to brainstorm out the rewards based on who enters (age, gender, etc., are options!).
Points Example:

If it takes me one hour to run 8 miles in 40-degree weather with 2 miles at threshold... I get 8 x 1 point for distance (8), 1 point for 1 hour of running (1), 0 points for sub-32 degree running, and 2x1 point for the threshold miles (2)...I will have earned 11 points for my run.

FAQs:



Where is the spreadsheet?

It's online as a shared Google document here. 

Do I need a Google account?

You shouldn't need one, but you _do_ need to be careful when entering your data that you only touch your space in the spreadsheet and not anyone else's!

How do I create a team?

Just write in a team name and the sheet will start calculating your team data.



How do I post a picture?

Go to the 2011 Holiday Run Challenge Group and then click on the Upload Picture icon just below the black bar. Click "Browse" to find it on your computer and then enter a caption...and voila, you're live!
