Remember that every challenge has a date range which determines which days the challenge will count. It’s okay if you have entries before the challenge, they won’t alter your total steps for the challenge.
When you’re familiar with making entries and are part of a challenge, you can start focusing on the main purpose of the challenge: Being active! Spend some days walking, sharing trail photos, and entering your activities. When you have built up some data, you can then check your dashboard to see a chart of progress over time.You can access a challenge page by tapping the Trophy icon, you can see a leaderboard showing yourself and a selection of other competitors from across different activity levels of the challenge.
If you are part of a Team, you can access your Team’s page by selecting the Multiple People icon. You can then select the team tab to view teams. Select your team name to view the progress of your team’s average and leave comments encouraging your teammates.
