Tips and Tricks
It's best to enter your distance daily. Obviously life happens and you will perhaps not be able to every day, but staying consistent will make it easy so you're not having to enter a ton of data at once. Plus seeing that progression is very motivating!
For those athletes who "double" (that is, bike twice or perhaps more in a day), simply total the mileage that day and submit one entry. E.g., Michelle biked 4 miles in the morning and then does another 6 that night. She should make one entry for 10 miles that day.
