The home page card directs to info outside of the app. I’d be great to have challenges list the info in the challenge card itself.
It more or less solves the request from @Saddlesaur too. I can agree that challenges need a feel of obligation/commitment to it.
These monthly challenges, if they are to become a permanent fixture need to behave same as “A Week With” challenges (or any plan as a matter of fact), with ability to:
View challenge details and associated rides (as already discussed above), and
Add it to the calendar.
A Week With" sprang to mind as I don’t see them as plans, but challenges with similar number of rides as the monthly challenges.
Thanks for that! To achieve the best results I feel it’s always best to consider what I think of as the three Ps of cycling (psycling?). Physics, physiology, and psychology. You gotta work all three.
Yay! I am terrible at following a training plan, but I respond well to challenges with tracking and rewards (cue Pavlov’s ). Looking forward to this month’s and future months’ challenges!
the way I see it, there’s the short-term challenges which have to be done in a prescribed period, within certain dates (Tours, Great French Challenge, some others), and the ‘when you want to’ badge hunting. The ones in a prescribed time period have never had the workouts listed.
Fair point I guess. I took it as a SYSTM challenge though not an RGT one. I read it as one where you are to ride the workouts listed. Riding the magic roads doesn’t mean you’ll ride the workouts only that you’ll ride the route the workout was created on.
Still a fair point though. They ought to make it clearer.
It is SO great to see everyone’s enthusiasm for the challenges!
Right now, we are unable to create a challenge break down for time based challenges due to how the achievements are calculated. We are also unable to include workouts done outside of SYSTM.
I appreciate this isn’t ideal and we are working towards solutions for both of these as things move forwards.
We wanted to create some challenges and get started on this though to see what the interest is and so far it is really great to see the positive response.
Probably worth an explicit note saying that riding it on the RGT Magic Road won’t count. May be obvious to seasoned Systm people but newbies brought across with RGT won’t realise I’d imagine.
