thanks, and some days I wish I had a shorter commute. I normally only have a 4 day commute week so am trying to make the most of things at the moment. Last week was my first 5 day commute week ever.boss wrote:Good work mate.
I'm jealous that your miles are all commute. I commute 5 days a week all year round (have done for years)... but that adds up to 60km a week! Pathetic!
I'm on track to get 600m tomorrow and will hit 800m before the end of the month.
I thought Strava do do climbing challenges. This article, http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/bi ... l?page=all" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, had the following:I wish Strava did a climbing challenge!
"Earlier this year, Strava issued a challenge sponsored by Specialized. “Riders,” went the pitch, “do you think you can climb the cumulative elevation of the five Spring Classics in 47 days?” The goal: 105,312 feet in a month and a half."
So there is hope for you yet
