Q: Can I log more than 100 miles?
A: Absolutely! Feel free to complete as many extra miles as you like. Avoid completing a handful of longer bike rides, runs, etc. at the beginning just to be done with the challenge as quickly as possible.
Q: How do I use the tracker?
A: In each daily box of the tracker, record your mileage for the day as well as the mode, using the below mode key. You are allowed to split up your mileage throughout the day. For example, a 1/2 mile walk in the morning and another 1/2 mile walk in the afternoon equals one mile for the day.
W=walk, RU=run, H=hike, B=bicycle, SB=stationary bike, S=swim, RO=row, P=Paddle, O=other
