Good luck everyone!

I think I officially hate the Monthly challenge now. I may not even do it this month. Here have been my monthly challenges for the last 5 months:
  1. September - Distance 206.0 Mi
  2. October - Close Your Rings 31 Days
  3. November - Distance 196.8 Mi
  4. December - Close Your Rings 31 Days
  5. January 2021 - Distance 199.0 Mi
I get it, it's all algorithm based but why the hell am I stuck with Distance and Close Your Rings 31 days. I don't know if there is something wrong with the watch (I have a series 4) but my "motivation" to do these challenges are now shot. I'm actually starting to think that the promise of the Apple Watch is incredibly flawed in and of itself.

Like last month it seems that we are in the same category.

It will be quite a challenge ...

Basically 10k every day.
Given it’s winter distance is my least favourite challenge. Icy roads. Dark not exactly good for covering any distance. My main form of exercise is a cross trainer but that gives me nothing in terms of distance covered! Oh well. I’ll see what I can do.

got this, odd since I do cycling pretty much every day, indoor/outdoor, and I do an outdoor walk activity maybe 5 times/year ... so will keep my cycling activity up and see where this ends up

Almost identical to mine. However it must have classified my cross trainer session as distance as I’m up to 4.3 miles. Maybe it will do the same for cycling?

not seeing that, in Dec I've done 9 mtn bike rides of ~15+ miles ea and all of my indoor cycling ones were 18 miles ea ...

in my fitness app I'm trending down on distance at 3.5 miles/day, in my health app it says I've walked 4.1 miles in December - go figure ... gonna get on my spin bike in a few minutes :)
