🎃 Challenge: Complete 1 mile every day (walk or run) for 31 days in October!
🗓️ Dates: October 1 – October 31
🏃 How it Works:
– Walk or run 1 mile each day—indoors or outdoors—it’s your choice!
– While you’re welcome to do more, only 1 mile will count per day toward your 31-mile goal.
– Log your mile daily in the app to stay on track and keep your streak alive!* (You’ll be responsible for tallying your total as you go.)
💡 Pro Tip:
Make it part of your daily routine—whether it’s a morning walk, an evening jog, or during lunch breaks. Keep it fun and aim for consistency!

Workout Strategy and Flow
- LET’S GO. Gonna be a great day.
- This is gonna be a longer grind of a workout. Go in with a positive mindset and a determination to attack this workout under the time cap. Scale if needed in order to do so.
- The two areas of this workout that are likely to cause a sticking point or “trouble” is the Run and / or the Push Ups. So this means we need to be very smart about how we approach both of those, check out the notes below….
- Run – this starts and ends with a longer run. Totaling 1 mile (you’re welcome..now you get to check off the October 31 Miles Challenge box today woohoo). We need to be sure we pace this appropriately. We want to finish this run by the 4:30 mark, faster would be better but I don’t want us going so fast that we absolutely crush ourselves and don’t have the breath or energy to attack the remainder of the workout.
- Sit Ups – stay steady here. I would love to see you get 20 reps per minute (or more if you can really crank them out). Stay moving!!!
- Push Ups – We must be smart in our push ups here. Don’t bust out a large set if you cannot consistently do that across 40 reps. (with another 40 to come). Instead be smart and complete quick sets of 5. If you cannot do at least 5, then let’s scale to a knee or incline push up – see demo videos below.
- Box Jumps – this is the middle of the workout. Once you get through these 20 you’re on the back half of this one. Settle into a steady cadence here. Jump up, step down, repeat. You got this.
