NotSoBigBen Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 But I am busy peaking for Fun Ride World Champs - perhaps next month when I have a free weekend So I best make 'hay while the sun shines' the next 2 weeks
Thinkbeeg Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 This is the comparison when I changed it (although it seems I've screwed up something somewhere when I changed it back ) Hopefully it'll get sorted soon... I see I moved from 12th to 11th, so I'm happy with the changes
Thinkbeeg Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I see I moved from 12th to 11th, so I'm happy with the changes OK I see there is now a time based challenge as well. Thanks for that, I just joined it. Isn't Endomondo a great motivational tool?

Tiny K Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Ok, it's seems I'm either dumb enough or a sucker for punishment. But I've added another one for most time working out:http://www.endomondo...llenges/3924269 Figured it'd be easier than changing back and forth and having the program freak out on me again! Good one! I think this debate around time is a waste - it should be based on distance because that is what you ride - you don't ride a 3:15 hour race and stop when you hit the target time - you ride a 123Km race - the time you take is up to your strength and how you feel on the day (and technicals you may pick up along the way). Just my 5c
Pants Boy Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Well done everyone! Now get some silly prizes sponsored

Just my 5c So Roadbikers, MTBrs, runners and swimmers will do the same distance in that 3:15? #justmy5c mooky 1

I think you missed my point - I only wanted a time based challenge when lumping all sports together - making it easier to compare the effort people are putting into different sports. If you only ride on the road - please ignore this conversation... Anyway, all my training is time based (and yours should be too). If the program says do 4 hours, I do 4 hours, even if it means riding around the block 5 times to get the extra 3 minutes.
Tiny K Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 So Roadbikers, MTBrs, runners and swimmers will do the same distance in that 3:15? #justmy5c Fair enough - MTB do it for distance too - 45Km / 60Km race. BUT that is why there are separate challenges for the different disciplines don't you think. I'll see your 5c and raise another 10c If you want to compare the separate challenges to each other, then going by time is the most correct way of doing it.

I ride when I feel like it, how I feel in the day and as far (or short) as I like. See my later post re time - agree with you there. If comparing the different disciplines, then time based is the way to go. Yeah, I am a purist - I only ride road. LOL! Would love to start swimming again, but time is not on my side.
D-Mike Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 DissyLizzy Thanks for all the effort. I can see it took quite a bit of time to compile on the information. Well done! Must say it is a great motivation and I have often been tempted to ride longer just for the sake of the challenge. However, I don't want to mess up my Argus training at the moment.

scotty Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 So Roadbikers, MTBrs, runners and swimmers will do the same distance in that 3:15? #justmy5c You want change.
SeaBee Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 ...and then elevation is not even part of the formula! (Not that my elevations reflect correctly once uploaded on Endomondo - somehow...) No, not suggesting a new challenge, just saying even on my mtb I can do 2 vastly differing 20k's. So why worry about splitting hair - it's for fun anyways! But bugger me, there's people with a lot more time to train out here than me!
