I have been wanting to join the challenge, but found the logging process a bit confusing. I think that I understand it know, and I am looking forward to participating in the next challenge.<br /> <a href="http://www.ultraankle.com">ankle brace</a> </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/585#post-3157 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:46:49 +0000 youbetterrun 3157@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>I plan to exercise for a minimum of 50 hours during the month of November. Most of this time will be spent running, but I will probably spend about 10 or 15 hours at the gym. I really like the challenges you have here, it is really motivating, and gives me a little extra push when I don't necessarily feel like exercising.<br /> <a href="http://www.ultraankle.com">ankle support</a> </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/583#post-3156 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:40:30 +0000 youbetterrun 3156@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>During the month of November, I plan on running at least 100 miles. My plan is to run 5 mile a day, 5 days a week. For me this will be a bit of a challenge, considering I have been running 3 miles a day. I welcome the challenge, and look forward to the sense of accomplishment I will feel from from achieving this goal. Has anyone heard of <a href="http://www.ultraankle.com">Ultra Ankle</a>? I hear they make ankle braces. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/583#post-2960 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:09:49 +0000 tommyspenny 2960@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>just coming back from an acl injury im slowly gettin back into running and loving every min. i'm currently covering about 20-25 miles a week so in November in goin to try and up this to 25-30 each week. all this whilst playing football (soccer)and keeping up my weight training.

If you are not seeing that, then maybe you can send us a screen shot at <a href="mailto:support@sweat365.com">support@sweat365.com</a> of what you are seeing.</p> <p>As for elliptical, well, all of these values come for a scientific study, which we don't control, but I will do some research to see if anyone has release a study on it. Does the machine you use display mets? If so, maybe we could add the ability for you to add the METs setting to calculate calories. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2627 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:04:12 +0000 Kate 2627@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Looks great, I saw it in action tonight for the General Cardio section. Is it possible to add an elliptical calculation?</p> <p>Also, will there be a calculation for flexibility at all?</p> <p>Thanks again, this is an awesome feature! </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2625 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:54:21 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 2625@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>We've added the new calorie calculator to the "Track Workout" page. Check it out and give us your feedback.</p> <p>Here are the basics of how it works.</p> <ul> <li>As you select running, cycling, swimming, etc, we will do our best to pick from the scientifically recognized compendium of physical activity the activity that best describes your workout. </li> <li>If you click the "Show Calorie Details..." as you enter your workout, we'll tell you what we picked. From there you can also pick a different activity if you want. </li> <li>For most activities like running, walking, cycling, we can get a pretty exact match. If so, we'll calculate the calories from that exact match. For example, you rode your bike 1 hour, and went 14 miles. We can get an exact match for that. </li> <li>For some activities, we might not find an exact match, but we'll find several good matches, in this case we'll pick a good estimate. Let's say you swam for an hour, but you didn't tell us how far. There are several potential matches and so we'll pick a good estimate. </li> <li>For some activities we're really have very little idea at all, like "Other" you could mean anything. We'll still calculate an estimated calories burned for all the various "other activities" we found in the list... but these are not very accurate. </li> <li>Wether or not we found a good match, you can always pick from the list and tell us a better match. Say you went for a 3 hour/5 mile hike in the woods with a 40lbs back pack. You told us how far and how long, and so we picked Walking at less than 2mph, which is 469 calories for a 140lb person. But you worked harder then that, you were carrying a pack, so click on "click here" link and look for an item that better describes your workout. Maybe you think "backpacking" at 1643 calories is a better description. So choose that! </li> <li>Also, if you don't want to use our calculations, because you have a Heart Rate monitor, or some other device that calculates your calories, then just go ahead and enter those in to the calories box. We will keep your calories there. </li> </ul> <p>Since many of you haven't been tracking calories in the past, we plan to add a "bulk mode" that will allow you to easily go back and let our system calculate calories for you. But before we do that we want you all to play around with the new system and let us know what you think of it.</p> <p>Thanks for your feedback. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2623 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 17:15:55 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 2623@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>It's coming soon. Hopefully released today. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2621 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:58:51 +0000 Kate 2621@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Did you set-up the calories burned calculation? I haven't been able to find it? </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2606 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 05:15:59 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 2606@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>All workouts log will add into your totals. Private vs. Public on workouts only changes if it's displayed on your journal's public pages.</p> <p>If your entire Journal is marked as private, then it won't be included in the challenge. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2604 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:45:41 +0000 horsefly 2604@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Does the challenge include private workout posts? I log my warm-ups and cool-downs separately from my runs and I usually make them private. They often add on an extra 100 calories to my day though, so if it doesn't count private posts, I'm gonna be sure to make them public instead. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2578 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 02:07:57 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 2578@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>LOL! I guess we'd better make sure we get it done soon! :) </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2577 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:30:43 +0000 Kate 2577@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Sounds good, will this happen before the run happy challenge ends? </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2535 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:46:51 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 2535@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>The plan at this point is to do the following:</p> <p>1) The workout page will include a button next to calories burned that will calculate estimated calories based on the activity you chose, time, and your weight on that day (since these formulas are based on weight). We'll let you choose to have this auto-fill, or manually recalculate on your request.</p> <p>2) For old workouts, we want to have a wizard that will go back and calculate calories burned for past workouts. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2534 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 14:30:19 +0000 Kate 2534@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Great, will I have to select something in the future to fix those previous workouts, or will it just do it magically?</p> <p>Thanks :) </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/583#post-2492 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:47:24 +0000 Lisa Sabin 2492@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>It's time to get moving...time to get off the treadmill and get outside. I have about 760 running miles logged this year. I would like to have 800 by the end of November. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/585#post-2491 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:45:28 +0000 Lisa Sabin 2491@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>This is cool. It's great to have a challenge to keep you motivated. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2490 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:13:52 +0000 Brad Hefta-Gaub 2490@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Sheba, I'm sure you'll still do great! Don't give up before it starts.</p> <p>We'll still make people enter their workouts and choose to use our auto-calculation. We just plan to make it easier. </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/584#post-2489 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 19:29:24 +0000 Sweat365 2489@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for describing your path, we'll look into that. It should have realized you were logged in to the forums, so something is fishy there. But since you got logged in and were able to post, I guess you got where you were going. :) </p>
