OCUK Endomondo Team Thread

daveski · 18 Aug 2012 at 21:10

Been some mentions of this in the running and cycling thread but thought I would start a new thread with the details.

I've set up an OCUK team on Endomondo, as well as some challenges.

Team - http://www.endomondo.com/teams/6433195

Running Challenges

Fastest 1m - http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6479376
Fastest 5k - http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6454648
Fastest 10k - http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6479349
Fastest Half Marathon - http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6615586

Cycling challenges -

Most miles - http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6506725
Fastest 10k - http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6571015
Fastest 20k - http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6571029

If there's enough interest then we can set up some cycling or other sport challenges.

If you use a Garmin or other app to track workouts you should be able to export your workouts and import them into Endomondo.

Appelhanns · 20 Aug 2012 at 13:21

Joined but all my runs are on Nike+ so I'll have to challenge myself to try and beat them now on this

daveski · 20 Aug 2012 at 14:01

Anyway you can export your runs from Nike+?

Anyone interested in some cycling challenges?

Murf · 20 Aug 2012 at 14:10

Interested in cycling challenges. I've applied to join the team. Mainly road cycling (half and half between sport and commuting) and MTB'ing.

How would a cycling challenge work?
I understand the running challenges, fastest mile/5k/10k, but it will be different on a bike. Whoever lives closest to the longest downhill would win?

daveski · 20 Aug 2012 at 14:31

Pretty much. Or you do most miles, most journeys, most hours spend cycling.

E.g http://www.endomondo.com/challenges/6506725

Or you could extend the distances, fastest 10, 20, 50 miles.

Richard Dallman on there, 5k run. I am sure I have done faster damn it. Looking at my workouts I have done 3 miles in 22 mins then I stop. 5k is 3.1? My best according to profile for 5k is 20:27 back in Nov 2010 booo

Streeteh · 20 Aug 2012 at 15:52

I've applied - Tim Robson

Mine is the same, fastest 3m time is some 3 minutes quicker than my fastest 5k time. Turns out my route was only 4.95k! Whoops.

Just done a quick first run to try and get up the 1m leaderboard. Does anyone know if it takes the fastest mile from the run or the fastest mile "split"?

Ringo · 20 Aug 2012 at 19:31

I have joined too..... the name is Richard Starkie

It'll be your fastest mile from any run.
