April Challenge is B-I-N-G-O

Our April Challenge is BINGO, baby!

Welcome to the MRTT/SRTT April Challenge. It's BINGO time! This challenge will run from April 1-30. You should aim to complete each item listed on the BINGO board in a "cover all" fashion. Post your progress on the BINGO board weekly, or more often if you would like. Make sure when you post, you try to share fun photo(s) of your activities to motivate others.

You can do more than one square per day, but getting them completed faster does not get you a better chance for the monthly prize.

Once you have completed ALL of the squares on your card, you need to yell BINGO in the event page and your name will be put in the pot for a prize drawing at the end of the month. 

Let's get ready to play BINGO!

As always, we encourage you to share your monthly mileage/activity goals, and post progress frequently. You do not have to play BINGO to participate in the accountability aspect of the event. Don't forget to share your photos in the Event page on Facebook AND if you want to share on social media-Tag us and use the hashtag #MrttSrttLouisville in your posts!  Happy Running.

M/SRTT March Challenge

Welcome to the March Challenge Event!! If you’re new to our monthly challenges, here’s how it works. Every month we host a challenge to help improve personal accountability and motivation to reach our goals. Challenges are also a great way to provide support and encouragement to each other. You can join our monthly challenges at ANY point during the month! 

It is officially race season (YAY!)…whether you are new to running, preparing for a 5k, 10k, half marathon, full marathon or ultra, this challenge is for you! As runners, it is easy to get focused on hitting certain goals related to mileage, pace or maintaining a certain heart rate. However, in order to maximize our efforts, achieve our goals and remain injury-free, it is important to also focus on proper stretching and hydration.

This month, the challenge is to complete a proper warm-up/dynamic stretches before your run, and a proper cool down with additional stretches after your run. In addition to stretching, we are challenging you to drink AT LEAST half of your body weight in ounces every day (modify as appropriate).

This month, let’s motivate each other to drink up and get limber! We invite you to share your favorite warm-up/cool down routines, your favorite beverage/electrolytes, tips/tricks for drinking more water or simply fun memes/infographics about stretching and hydration!

See the links below for THREE links for stretches, a printable chart for tracking hydration and yoga poses for flexibility. The links below are a good references for stretching, but as with all of our challenges modify stretches and warm-up/cool down exercises to fit your needs.

In addition to stretching and hydrating, don’t forget to set a monthly mileage goal and update us regularly on how it is going. We look forward to watching everyone crush March goals!
