👇 ACTIVITIES

Any activity counts - running, swimming, walking, you name it!

👇 How to log distances?

Log your distances manually or automatically through Apple Health, Google Fit or from Fitbit, Garmin, etc.

To transform any non-distance activities into measurable distances, use this guide and let’s make every move count! https://www.myvirtualmission.com/downloads/guides/mvm/MVM-Activity-Conversion-Chart-2021-01.pdf

👇 HOW MUCH DISTANCE SHOULD I COVER?

To help you track your progress effectively, here are your weekly and daily distance goals for each challenge level, considering a team of 10 members over 90 days:

• Casual (Cape Town to Malawi): aim to cover 23.33 km per week, which breaks down to approximately 3.33 km per day.

• Competitive (Dammam to Malawi): set your target at 46.67 km per week, equivalent to an average of 6.67 km per day.

• Elite (Ludvika to Malawi): take on the ultimate test by covering 93.33 km per week, averaging about 13.33 km per day.

These distance goals provide a structured framework to keep you motivated and on track to complete your chosen challenge level within the designated time frame. While the table shows an average distance guide, you can set your own pace and target. Remember, every step you take brings you closer to your destination!
