Upcoming LPC VIRTUAL EVENTS

​2023 LPC January Consistency Challenge

We are excited to launch the New Year with 31 days of excellent training consistency! There is no sign up required, and this Challenge is exclusive to current LPC Athletes and current LPC Members. We will announce new contests each week. Happy training teamLPC! 
 
Your Mission: Develop healthy and consistent physical activity lifestyle habits.

Challenge Goals & Objectives: 
  • Must complete at least 31 minutes of dedicated physical activity in your day.
  • LPCers who miss three days or more will not be eligible for consistency prizes.
  • LPCers who complete all 31 days will achieve “Gold Consistency Status”.
  • LPCers who complete 30 days will achieve “Silver Consistency Status”.
  • LPCers who complete 29 days will achieve “Bronze Consistency Status”.  
  • Near the beginning of Feb, we will request those that completed 31/30/29 days of training to fill out and submit this form. 

Activities That Count:
Walking, hiking, running, cycling, swimming, XC skiing, swim cord routine, rowing, Pilates, yoga, tai chi, resistance exercises, physiotherapy exercises, team sports, shoveling snow, etc. Provided it is “31 minutes of dedicated physical activity” in your day, it counts. If your coach has scheduled a day off training in your TrainingPeaks, then you can still achieve your daily objective if you bank at least 31 minutes of light walking and/or light physio injury-prevention exercises. 
 
Happy Training!
