30pts shotgunmcos
23pts sconhome
11pts Green&Red
6pts RaccoonQueen
6pts Solobally8
0pts mossym

For March

The Challenge - options pick one
3,000m Total Ascent or 60 Yoga Sun Salutations Surya Namaskar A & B (This one will add to S&C goal too!) Do them slowly for the best benefit

Then

Pick between 1 and 7 goal activities and how many hours (min 30 mins) you intend to spend doing those very things.

And/Or decide if you are going to do the monthly challenge as your only or additional goal. No need for tables.. we can put it on Gdocs, which was cool.. thank you sconhome!

So to kick off my March goals are

Goal1 - Run on/off road for 5hrs
Goal2 - MTB & Hike a Bike for 9hrs
Goal3 - Erg or Paddle for 8hrs
Goal4 - Roadie/Turbo for 10hrs
Goal5 - Trek/Orienteer for 4hrs
Goal6 - Swim for 6hrs
Goal7 - S&C for 8hrs
Goal8 - 60x Surya Namaskar (Yoga Sun Salutation Sequences)


How do you score?

Gold = 3pts, Silver = 2pts, Bronze = 1pt

Gold

• Complete the Yoga or Ascent challenge
• Be first of an activity that has at least 3 doing it
• Set a goal that is bigger than what you have actually done in any previous month and hit it (this month only applies to existing participants)

Silver

• Be first of any activity with just 2 participants
• Set a goal and hit double the number.

Bronze

• Be the only person to do an activity and log at least an hour of it
• Set and complete a any goal
• Finish 2nd of only 2 people doing an activity
• Finish 3rd of 3 or more people doing an activity

Its just a bit of craic but I'm going to rope sconhome into sponsoring a little prize for the overall winner at the end of the year (I'll go halves Chief)

The only fast rule is that you must set your goals asap and once you set them that's it. No adding a new activity in the last week for a free bronze!

Plus no need for tables, just list your goal activities and how long you plan to spend doing them... simples

Gonna put my name in the hat for this month with Goals 1 (6 hours), 4 (10 hours), 7 (8 hours)and 8 (Part of the 8 hours from 7 I think?) Been working on S&C mainly lately anyway so this month suits me.

Oh right, thought it was targets I'll still aim for some and think about others.

Yep create your own targets and aim to hit or exceed them. Its not to measure you against another but a way of disciplining yourself to achieve your own targets.

Then like me you can realise if you are over reaching or your targets are too high / low or just right for your life balance.

The March page is up, I need to share the doc with you for editing so PM me your gmail or similar address.

Count me in again

Goal 1: 20 hrs out on the roadie
Goal 2: 15 hrs turbo
Goal 3: Going to try bring in some S&C 2 hrs
Goal 4: Lose 4 more lbs (still plenty more to go)

After all the February planking I can feel abs. Need to discipline the diet to see them though

First sequence of suryanamaskar tonight and I only did the basic sequence twice. Can't even touch my toes. Woeful. Here's hoping 120 down dogs will fix that. Really going to try and hit all goals this month.

I'm behind on some goals. Really need to start biking. Galway 14 weeks away. Gonna be a long day.

Just did some Yoga. DOMS all the better for it.

Green&Red

A few days in Kerry really sorts you out for climbing!

Think I need to start setting easier goals. Messy month for training, again. If only every month could be like January!

+1 January was a very motivated month.

I've 68 minutes of running and an hour of S&C to get done this evening to hit two more targets

Edit: the 3,000m ascent, does it all have to be done on foot or can some of be on the bike?

Green&Red

I presumed it was just cycling

RacoonQueen

I don't think it matters. Think it can be a combination of bike and on foot. Well he never clarified so you're not taking my climbing away from me :pac:

Between the biking and the climbing, I've scraped over the line

3 weeks of traveling played havok on this month, going to count my time rambling about Paris this past week though. Walked about a half marathon last Wednesday which considering I'm just back logging run miles after a long lay off is good. Will total the month tomorow when I'm in front of a PC

shotgunmcos

Well done all for hitting goals in March and 3 cheers to better climbing and better cores plus weight loss for some!

Overall with over 6,000m climbing in March, the best effort was Green & Red and he gets to call out the Zany challenge for April?
