October Challenge Acheivment.

[tcuprof]

Is it to burn 27,508 *total* calories or *active* calories? (In other words, look at the health app on the iPhone to see "Active energy" and "Resting energy". Does the challenge count both?)

I've been out of the country since the beginning of the month, so this is the first I paid attention to this challenge.

Good question. I'm pretty sure it's active calories. 27,508 total calories would be no challenge at all. I surpassed that on October 12.

Have you looked to see what your challenge is? Since you're a runner I'd bet it's pretty ambitious.

Mine is 27,995. I've burned 14,693 so far. But, again, I was traveling and have only run 8 times this month. (I only missed 5 other days in 2017). It probably won't happen this month for me. (Not a biggie - I wouldn't trade the achievement for the trip in a million years.)

If you'd like to join me, I'm going to run a marathon every day for the next five days so I can get that October achievement. :laughing:

I got mine...although no where near as steep of requirements.

Well done!

I was surprised to get this yesterday, averaging 55 Exercise minutes a day. The requirement was averaging 54 Exercise minutes a day. My normal RDA of Exercise minutes is 30~35 every day for an average of somewhere in between.

Not seeing this challenge until 9 Oct., I had some catching up to do. As it's averaging my daily EMs, I had to significantly up the ante. My minimum EMs were 50~60min daily, with some days hitting. 80-90EMs.

This was not easy for me. I didn't realize I wouldn't have until 31 Oct to complete my attempt. To increase my EMs I had to PT twice a day due to the pain and heat. I couldn't do over 40EMs and 4 Klicks in one hump.

But it's done. I'll check prior to and at the 1st of each month to see if the challenge is worth the effort. Apple might say 'Hey you met the challenge of almost double your Exercise minutes, let's go for TRIPLE! Yay!' Yeah, no. This could be my last Monthly Challenge for a bit. LOL There's still the Perfect Month, though those are pretty easy.

I want one for closing all my rings five times in one month! But since i close them every day, that's not likely.


Well done, zachpenguin, and anybody else who met the Challenge.

I never had any idea it wasn't the same for everyone. I figured it was like the National Parks deal. Mine is probably double the distance I ever walk in a month. It's gonna be tight. Anyway, I wish I got more fireworks... That doesn't seem to ever go (maybe once?) on any of my watches. I have one of each series 1, 2, 3. Just because I haven't sold them or whatever. Anyone else have issues like that?

I WISH I had it as easy as some of yours.. My goal is an average of 1700+ calories burned per day for the entire month of November. That’s over 50,000 calories..

My November is to complete all three rings 7 times...lol

 

[doogald]

The advantage of going on vacation in October: my November challenge is to close my move ring eight times. Should have that done by the tenth, if not the eighth.

Hating myself every day. Here’s a big middle finger to this challenge.

November challenge error

My November challenge was to move 208 miles. I pushed myself and went 210 miles and suddenly on 11/30 the distance traveled reset to 188.9 miles and I get no badge! What gives?!

It can take up to 9 days for the badge to appear. See the "Get Help" section here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205406

Ok, there is something seriously wrong with these challenges. I was just looking at my December challenge progress and noticed that suddenly I have the October challenge completed. Again, I was more than 13,000 calories behind with 7 days to go, I know that I never received the badge, but now I have it and the badge says that I earned it on October 2.

It's not a big deal to me, but I'm not sure I would take these things seriously right now.
