The goal of this Challenge is to travel a total of 100.00 mi..
100 miles may seem like a daunting distance, but spread out over 30 days, members participating in the Run 100 Miles in 30 Days Challenge need to run only about 3.3 miles per day to meet the goal.
This flexible goal allows MapMyRun.com members to compete against other participants by running 100 miles in any 30-day period. The 30 days must be consecutive, but members need not run every day. Members can measure their success against other members. and MapMyRun.com provides participating members with the site’s tools, including run mapping with elevation and distance, street and topographical map viewing, and workout logging.
MapMyRun.com proposes the following simple schedule for success at running 100 miles in 30 days:
| Week # | Sun | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Rest | 4 | 23 |
| 2 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Rest | 5 | 23 |

Started this today and went out for a 5 miler, so I'm ahead of the game already. I'll probably finish early, but I just wanted something small to get into a regular running routine again. Wanting to do a half marathon next year. This should get me started. Looking forward to it.

9.33 miles left and just 2 days and a few hours left (going to drag myself out for a couple of miles later). This is a great but also painful challenge!

Awesome! I finished today, 6 days early - so I'm pretty pleased I must say! Using the NBTotalFit App on the iPhone in conjunction with this challenge really helped me pick up my game, and run further, harder, and faster! Feeling pretty proud at this stage. Anyone know of any other good challenges?

Seeing this challenge about three weeks ago, I used it as the capstone of my training for the Army 10-miler. It served as a great motivational tool to keep me focused on my goal of finishing 10 miles in 90 minutes or less.
I did meet my goal, and after today's workout I am at 72 miles. I LOVE this challenge!
Results of 4Oct09 Army 10:
Race Finish: 1:29:29
Pace: 8:56/mile
Goal: 9:00/mile
Next race - the Virginia Beach Shamrock 1/2 Marathon.

Just finished my challenge!!! For those having trouble with the updates on your progress, you have two options:
1. Wait until the next day. The miles usually update within a day.
2. If you want to see it updated immediately, go to view workout. On the left choose to edit, then save and choose update now. This will update your progress immediately.
Good Luck!

Made it! It was a great challenge to keep me motivated for my half-marathon training. I was super excited to finish the mile that put me across the 100 mile mark.
Next week, I actually cross the 400 mile mark for the year - and it's pretty amazing to realize that 1/4 of that happened in less than 30 days! I never thought I'd run that much in my life!
Along the way (not this month, but over the summer) I've lost almost 25 lbs as well. map my run has been a great motivator

Today was my last day and I just finished this challenge about an hour ago. My "victory lap" so to speak was a 7-mile run during the late evening. I was so happy to finished - I even let out a big "YEAHHHH!" when I turned on the corner towards my house.
I will always look back at this moment in my life with a smile and the warm memories of this summer. Setting limits, pushing limits, facing reality and defying reality. Words cannot even describe how happy I was.

Does anyone know if the last date on the goal status is inclusive? I started my challenge on the 17/03/09 and it says it finishes on the 16/03/09. Can I still have a few miles to run by the 16th or should I aim to have finished by the 15th? My calculations are that the 15th is the 30th day!

I also found that the only way to get your goal to update is to edit the goal from the training log calendar. If you map a run and add it to your training log via that option, it doesn't update. Congrats to everyone that reached their goal. I finished 100 miles in 27 days, and continued running expecting the goal to update to my final total of 113, but MMR "closed" the goal after 100 miles had been reached, so it seems that your max will be 100 miles and never more (or only the incremental pa

halesette - Your specific issue with your last workout not being counted towards your goal is because the workout was entered using a custom workout type (IE: one that is not on the "valid workout types" list above).

So it just decided to 'skip' my penultimate workout of 7 miles and I've now 'failed' to make the challenge.
View User Profile | Report Offensive Content
I ran 7 miles yesterday morning (Friday 20th), which would have taken me from 88 miles to 95 miles but the system has STILL not updated me, making it look as though I'm still only at 88%. I'm just about to go out for my final run of 5 miles to complete but unless they get their finger out quickly, I can see that the 'slow updating' of the system means I'm going to fail the challenge. Anyone know to whom I can make a complaint?
View User Profile | Report Offensive Content
Nothing seems to work for me to make the system update faster - but I hope that doesn't effect making the goal. My 30 days are up tomorrow and I've just run 7 miles, meaning I've only got 5 left.. just hope it doesn't 'fail' me!

If you are trying to meet the goal, be sure you enter an acceptable run or treadmill work out. I marked one run an interval run and walk and that doesn't count towards the 100 miles.

Found an "updating" trick. If you're having trouble getting new runs to show up on your goal tracker, try this:
1. Enter or download the run in any fashion
2. Save to your training log.
3. Go to the training calendar, click on that run, and here's the trick.
4. Click on "Edit this workout," make some change, such as adding your gear, or changing workout intensity, any change.
5. Update the workout.
6. Go to "My goals" and you'll see i

Fastest way I've gotten challenge count to update is to enter the run information from the Update Progress on the Goal page. Does it immediately that way, but that doesn't let you import Garmin or Nike+ data. Doing it from the Calendar does always work in my experience; but erratically. Sometimes right then. Sometimes the next day. Haven't lost any workouts though.

to everyone having trouble with their stats not updating:
make sure you're entering your run information from the training log's calendar view. i've found that by doing this your goal's progress bar will update immediately. as far as i know, if the progress bar does not update immediately then it will not update at all... but that's not what another user, below me, said.

Just finished this goal for February. I'm trying for 100 per month, so this month was short with only 28 days and me being out of town and out of my element for 2 weeks. I ended up having to finish 23 miles in 3 days, and just barely made it. finished Feb 28 with 100.3 miles! I'm looking forward to trying again in March, but I know it is going to be much more difficult with a new work schedule, and working in gym time back into the mix... Wish me luck with 100 in March

Just finishing day 4 at 19+ miles and loving it. Invited about 10 of my running friends to join in and no takers. So you all will have to do! :) Looking at the chart above (sample training), I can't figure running just 2 miles on any day, but maybe that will grow on me.

Just accomplished my goal in day 29 at 102%. It was my third try. This is a great challenge because in the course of a month you always have to overcome obstacles - illness, injury, weather issues, work demands - and find a way to get it done. I was running 10 miles on Saturdays in 10 F weather with a foot of snow. It's great motivation!

Great goal which I completed 6 days in advance, but why are some users showing up at 200%+ and yet I still have 6 days left, and don't show up after completing my 100 mile mark. Seems the SQL query join for the user list in 30 days is off (d&mn went tech again). Still got credit for completing it, which was the whole goal anyways.

Could not go running today. I hurt my knee, and may have to be off it for a little, but i got about 25 miles in already since sunday. So I should be good for the challenge.

What a great challenge to keep on track during the holidays!!! I mentally struggled to get my head around a 100 miles in 30 days. Doesnt sound like alot, but I normally do 15 miles a week and the leap to 25 was motivating. Honestly, my legs were tired after two weeks, but the Leaderboard provided an added incentive to keep going. I have three more days left and plan to continue my pace until the end. What's next?

Just left a comment on the discussion forum. With family responsibities it is tough to get all the time in I really want to put in(grandkids now in basketball, etc), but now with winter officially kicking us, outdoor is VERY tough. The roads are now almost shot and the trails are gone. My shoe trax are now VERY important but distance will now be almost impossible.

All I have to say is that I am at 25% right now and I feel great... I almost gave up yesterday... I was supposed to run 4 miles and I left the gym at 2... after taking a shower and laying in bed I just thought to myself... what am I doing? I really like logging in my miles and seeing the meter go up and show my percent completed... I got up and called the gym to see what time they closed and I went back and did another 2 1/2... and I slept so good last night... I got 3 today and I am really looking forward

As a relatively new runner, I am excited that I took this challenge and finished. As the New England weather started turning cold, this challenge got me out the door and running on days that I could have made a thousand excuses. Sometimes the challenge was grueling, but as I ran the last 100 yards of my last day, I wasn't just completing a 4.5mile run, I was finishing the equivalent of almost 4 marathons in a month. Thanks for the challenge ASICS and MapMyRun!

Wow. just finished last day, and last mile of the 100 mile challenge. I timed it wrong and had to really pack in the miles these last few days (25 or so miles in the last 4 days.)
This one has really made me push myself, and I am very happy that I followed through on it. My pace slowed towards the end, so I believe I'll rest for a few days, and then get some more!
This sight has made me realize that i am capable of perhaps running a marathon one day. Once the 100 miles in a month starts coming
