Off-Topic's Marathon in a Month Challenge! [2020]
Marathon in a Month (2020) Hi, everyone! Throughout the month of October, Off-Topic will host the Marathon in a Month event. This is completely voluntary, and you can choose to take it as seriously as you want. Do not feel obligated to post/participate every single day - it's just for fun. Also, do not feel like you have to run - walking/sprinting/jogging/etc. are totally cool. Don't run/walk? HealthCode.org [see below] gives you the option to log various activities such as yoga, weight lifting, tennis, swimming, etc. and it converts the time spent to (approximate) miles. What is marathon in a month? Per HealthCode.org, the Marathon in a Month™ is your October personal challenge to complete 26.2, 50, or 100 miles. Whether you're looking for a weight loss challenge, interested in group fitness with your friends, or just want to get in shape, we support you! Off to the virtual races! How do I participate? There are several ways you can participate! Here are a few examples:
Spoiler:
How do I stay motivated? For some (including myself), running/walking can be boring, or even tedious. We might wind up looking at our phone and inadvertently slowing ourselves down. Here are some tips:
Will there actually be prizes this year? In the past, we previously said the prize was "To Be Announced™". However, this year, there'll be first, second, and third place badges () given out to the top 3 marathoners, as well as cute lil participation badges.

I've been looking for this. I think I went with 50 last year and I'll do 50 again. But since I have less classes this year, I think I'll be glad to make at least 25.
|
Oooh I'm in - will try do 50 miles through running/hiking in October! Keen for it to help me stick to my training :')
|
Oh cool! I definitely wanna give this a shot! (´▽`ʃƪ)♡ I probably won’t set my goal too high but still, what a fun event!
|
Will definitely be giving this a go, already seen an improvement in my fitness since I started running a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to documenting my progress along with everyone else!
Put me down for the 100 mile challenge, please :)) |
Welp my lazy ass is gonna try and do 100 miles. Seeing as how I'm going back to work here next week.
|
only signing up since i got pinged on discord....
Officially going to go for the 100 mile challenge. I know I can beat that though, so the real goal is for me to hit my numbers from last year, which might be difficult since I don’t walk quite as much as I used to. Not going to stop me from trying though! |

Shorter run today, but still clocked in almost 5.8km (3.6m). Ran/jogged the majority of it without stopping too, which I doubt i'd have been able to do a few weeks ago.

Did a 10.1km run for the 1st day of October (6.276 miles - am I allowed to round this up to 6.3?!) Was nice :D Screenshot is from my Strava but whited out a few parts for privacy.
Can't figure out how to get the direct image uploaded on my phone but Imgur link to SS here \o/ Spoiler:

Another 5.8 miles today, although probably closer to 4.5 because of the walk to and from work (but hey, it all counts, right?!)
Spoiler:

Daily total: 4.5 miles
Weekly total so far: 12.6 miles October total so far: 12.6/100 miles Spoiler:
|
is it too late for me to sign up for this 🥺
|
A bit of a slow start for me, but I’m at 15.1 miles for the first three days. Probably only going to update this once a week, since that’s about how often I sync my Fitbit to my phone anyway.
Spoiler:

Only left the flat to do my run today, so those 6.58km are what i'd usually do daily, minus the walk to/from work.
Daily total: 4 miles Weekly total so far: 16.6 miles October total so far: 16.6/100 miles Spoiler:
