January was the first I could take advantage of the monthly challenges and a ToS. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these because I find new-to-me content, and they create badly needed goals and camaraderie as everyone whines (or rejoices). A couple of questions.
Are they monthly year ‘round?
Are they always announced last minute? I ask this because it’s hard to plan a training block when a challenge isn’t announced until almost a week into the month.
I know the minions are buried under crayons right now but I need to build a plan for after this week’s sojourn in Couchlandria. I’m a planner so getting this stuff on a calendar helps me stay motivated.

Past monthly challenges have been year-round. They are usually announced on the first day of the month or maybe sometimes a day or two earlier (or later). I think they might have announced that there would not be a separate challenge for this month, with the tour fulfilling that function.
My habit over the years has been to keep a plan in place (usually one in the general fitness category) and when a monthly challenge is announced inserting those workouts where it makes sense within my plan, sometimes removing planned workouts when one of the challenge workouts is a good replacement, sometimes doubling up if I really want to, or even moving lots of planned workouts to accommodate the challenge. I’m sure there are lots of other ways to go about it, but I’ve managed to complete 38 monthly challenges this way over the years.
