Hey, my data is not refreshed!! What is happening?
These days I have kids on safe and we can run more… Very nice to run around coast in seaside…
Regards to all runners,
Bosstjanz
I’m offering you my help for anything you might need, I’ve a lot of free time.
Contact me via my email please.
Dax.
I’ve only invited those who who reapplied for it. last month I got to many “pending” users by reinviting everyone from may. But I sent you an invite, so you should be back on board! Looking forward to another great month.
I will do my best in the next one if there is one, I didn’t received any invitation yet.
If I still improve like I did in the last month, I will probably be kiked out which is my goal to be promote as an intermediate runner.
Dax.
Thank you, for your information I had a lot of fun, and I’m improving really fast, I’m almost adicted, it was only suggestion but I know they should be adress to the Nike+ programmer. I though maybe you have access to them as an organiser, and your challenge are really the most original I’ve run into, with your web page and merging so many small group challenge into a big one.
Congratulation.
I was simply desapointed because I was miss informe be the Nike+ web site, they write that the challenge end at 10pm and it was over before that time.
Noting personal with you.
Keep going your wonderful job.
Dax.
Hey Daxoo,
everybody’s got the same amount of time to run the challenge. my being in what you president called “the old Europe”, the challenges started 00:00 June 1st and Ended 23:59 July 30th CET. I can’t modify those times as they are given by the Nike+ System. Time zone are tricky in global challenges, I’m sorry you had to find out in this challenge.
hope you still had some fun,
cheers,
-tmb
It would be nice if we could have some extra time after the end of the challenge to sync our last run, like 24h. just a suggestion.
wow! I just notice that my last post was written on the 30 June at 22h20 EST and it’s stamp 1 july at 4h20 we have 6h deffirence what is you time zone? that is probably the reason, but it would be nice if we could see the time zone on the Nike+ web site, I know you do not have anyting to do with it but maybe you can talk with some guy at nike about it as a organiser.
Dax.
P.S. I’m not sure I should write those issue here but I did.
I don’t understand???? on my nike+ web page it was writting, that the challenge end up today a 10pm, and when I got home at 9h45pm the challenge was already completed, so my run of this morning could not be registred, whit that run I would be first insted of 2nd.
Also I only sleep 5h last nigh to run this morning and it’s not regestred, I’m really desapointed. can you explain my how it work, if we do a challenge for the month it should be for the full month at less. Start on 1st of the month at 00h00am and finish on the last day of the month at 11h59pm.
Thank and keep doing your fantastik work.
Dax.
I don’t see my name anywhere on this list. I thought I was competing in this challenge. Could you help, please? Thanks!
Sorry to see that I got kicked off. Best luck to the rest of the guys, you realy kept me motivated to run every day.
Just as a comment, I have been running only for 2 months and deffenetly consider myself a beginer. Maby it would be good to widen the accepted margin. If you decide to do so please send me an invite.
Wanted to be added to a challenge. I am def. a beginner. Just did my 1st 5K this past weekend and I think the Pavement I was running on was moving faster than I was. Just let me know. Thank you.
TMB
First, the challenge has really helped me. I have never done 20 miles/week on my own. Is there a cap for the last two days of the challenge. If the last check is June 28 I was just curious on what the overall cap for the challenge was since it ends on June 30? Once again, thanks for doing this.
@Pat_UK: catching up is specifically encouraged. So give it your best. As to the definition of the week: the cap always count’s the the 7th, 14th, 21st and so on. So the next one would be the 28th with 128k being the current max till then.
tmb – is the max distance for this challenge based on 30 days or 30 days +1?
Hi tmb – as I joined this challenge after the beginning of June is it OK if I exceed 32km this/next week as long as I don’t exceed the current max? And is the weekly limit as per my local definition of a week (in my case starting on Mondays)?
Yeeeaaahhh, Kicked, wow!
chelsea1968; I’m so glad to hear, that you are recovering that well. you are save this week see keep running! don’t let this challenge hinder you! It was always supposed to be a motivator for ppl that would never be able to reach 20mi a week. as for the next step – just check the nike+ forum. I’m not organising any intermediate challenges, but there are plenty out there. have fun and happy running!
hi tmb i think i am getting periously close to being booted, this is only my second month running after being injured for a year, however my average daily mileage has increased from next to nothing to where I am now. This will be my last beginner challenge if you know of any that are good that are the next step up I would be very grateful. Cheers for the motivation great site ! Hope I can stay in for June.
Thanks…….Mark
please sign me up, my nike+ ID is mpscaife.
@Steveinkc: just run mate! for one you are well within the bounds and for another, I haven’t kicked anyone that has asked politely for an extension.
My i-Pod locked up during a 4.5 mile run last week and I lost all of the data from that run. I would like to be able to make those miles up with out being booted. The training program that I am on has me running more than 20 this week and in subsequent weeks. I hope you will allow me to remain in the challenge at least for another week. I’m still well behind the leaders. I’ll understand if you have to boot me. Rules are rules but I’m not a ringer joining a beginners challenge to win the trophy. I only began running in March at the age of 41. I am a beginner by any standard but I’m very motivated and I enjoy the challenges. Thanks.
Steve
@Daxoo: I kicked mmanuel09 this time. I guess I wanted the last time, but something must have gotten in the way.
ROE = rules of engagement
I just wandering what is the definition of “ROE:”
Dax.
Hi! I think there is someting wrong with mmanuel09, he is still in first position even if he is in the Kicked non-beginners list
Dax
had a wonderful new years eve there! absolutely fantastic!!!
cheers,
-tmb
ps; for anyone wondering, we are talking about this picture
Hey tmb,
I love that banner of Sydney Harbour on your website. It’s my hometown so it always makes me homesick when I see how beautiful it looks.
Thanks
Sorry to see I was kicked off but thanks tmb for your effort. All the best tot he rest of the guys; keep running!
@Koalalou: sending two invites was my bad, as a result the script got a little confused and listed you as “withdrawn”. I fixed it now and you currently ranked 472nd!
Hi
I joined the June Beginners Challenge but can’t seem to find my name here. I have done about 10miles so far. I did get two invites and deleted one so I hope that didn’t confuse things. My name is on the Nike + website in the June Beginners I group.
Koalalou
Please sign me up for June if it’s not too late. I try to go approx 10+ miles a week but it’s tough sometimes.
Thanks for getting me in on June TMB. I have to play catch up now, which can be a great motivator.
@Daxoo: greyed out name in the middle of the list mark anyone that has withdrawn from the challenge.
P.S. Daxoo is my Nike+ ID but my name is Dax, my future post will be under Daxoo name.

Welcome to the June Beginners!
This is a motivational challenge – if you want to win this, you might be wrong here. There is a weekly cap of 20mi/32km which I will enforce by promoting better runners to the intermediates level (=kicking from this challenge). Of course you won’t get kicked for running more in one week to make up for a late start or if you ask (politely) beforehand. I’ve increased the cap slightly to catch some of those poor “in between beginner and intermediates”
cheers,
-tmb
