I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a fitness challenge to complete 100 miles in 100 days. I've done one in the past and it helps keep you accountable for exercising. The one that I did in the past used twenty minutes of any exercise equaled a mile or actual walking or running distance.

Though anyone interested could start on Monday Sept 11th which would go through to Dec 20th. Maybe post weekly totals and I will come up with a spreadsheet.

Depends. Reason why I say that is it depends on what your 100, 200, and 400 times are. You can not flip turn and have bad technique and turtle and it take 1 1/2 min to do a 50 SCY lap. You can do some fly and no matter what you do, that's a good work out. [emoji4]

Swimming has a lot more variability than running does.

Sunday I swam for 55 minutes nonstop free and did 104 laps but the pool I swim at is only 20yards. The day before I was doing IM work. It just depends on the day what I'm doing. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I've only been cleared to go back swimming two weeks ago.

That's great! That's 40 laps in a 50 SCY.

IM. I love fly and IM. They don't always love me, but I love them and mid distance.

I would like to join this as well. My numbers will be a bit low this week as I'm heading to MX for my wife's VSG surgery. Mine was 4 weeks ago in Galveston.

I was going by this statement that the op posted. I have no idea about swimming and how 20 minutes of this equates to other exercises. I can run 1 mile in 13:00, so I will be using my actual mileage as opposed to the 20 minute time frame quoted.

The only ones doing a 20 min. or less are Katie Ledecky and the Chinese & Australian men in the Olympics in swimming. LOL.

I am in for as long as possible. Dont have a surgery date yet, but expected in October. Thanks for the challenge.

Great, this is a great motivator for me. I am walking or riding my exercise bike to do this. I am in Sydney so may be reporting a day ahead of you all Where are we going to post updates? Here?

Yes here. I'm going to be formatting a spreadsheet and I will post it on here. I tried to do it tonight on my iPad but the app was being finicky

Willing to give this a shot. Gotta do something to get my exercise in so this may just be what I need to get back in the routine of exercising. New work schedule and back to school schedules have done a number on my previously settled in routine!

I'm in
