June 2025 - Challenges and Badges
Join the June challenges now in Garmin Connect.
There is a new feature in Garmin called Garmin Trails. Garmin has published trails that we can follow. We can add reviews and photos to Garmin Trails and also run or hike them and of course get badges for doing that. At least 16 new badges!

The Trailblazer badge is a bit odd since we already got an old Trailblazer badge for creating a segment.

About the 'Beat yesterday" badges? So you're screwed if you do a long walk/run on one of the first days?
ReplyDeleteI was trying to figure that out. I have a couple half marathons in June but I do usually do a short warm up that I typically don’t record. But I was curious if I record the warm up that is like 10 minutes and then the half marathon that will be like 2.5 hours, do I just need to increase the shorter run by 5 minutes which is doable or do I have to increase the longer run in which I do not have the time to progressively add 5 minutes to 2.5 hours in 10 out of 14 consecutive days
DeleteIf you do short walk/run the next day the progress should reset.
DeleteQuestion is what happens if you do a 5 minute run on day 1 then a 2 hour run day 2 and then a 10 minute run on day 3. Will you have a progress of 2 or 1?
DeleteIt is probably safest to just follow the simple rule of increasing each run with 5 minutes and not add longer runs in between or the same day.
It seems very difficult to keep adding 5 mins if you are like most people who i imagine do a reasonably random mixture of shorter and longer activities across the days and weeks of the month, but let's see what way it is implemented I guess.
DeleteI agree it is silly but I am obsessed with Garmin badges. I am just going to start with 5 minutes and only record 5 minutes more each day. If I do a longer run I will record the amount I need stop it and record the rest as a cardio activity. Again this seems silly. I also wasn’t sure if you did 2 runs per day if it would add them so I could just stop the run every time I reach my goal for the day
DeleteYou can record the other, longer walks as Hike and keep the short, increasing walks for the badge. Or you can even stop every day, save the walk, and continue as hike. This way you'll have the walks increasing every day
DeleteThe issue with that would be not getting credit towards all the other walk badges like walk streak, time to walk, etc but I guess using 1 mile as the baseline on day 1 would help with that a bit as you would keep walking streak then.
DeleteAh, yes, I haven't thought about the time to walk. Well that is indeed a problem.
DeleteI just plan on doing my daily 1 mile walk and add some more miles the next day to get 5 miniutes more, etc. Not really that hard to do. In the end you get the Walk time and Steps for month and quarterly goals. After all the challenge is to do more.
DeleteI see the badges and it says if you record multiple walks (and I assume runs) per day it will just count the longest so you can just stop and record multiple walks so if you are going on an hour walk but only walked 10 minutes the day before and don’t want to have to walk 65 minutes the next day you can just record four 15 minute walks
DeleteYes I'd just spotted that too thanks. A lot of messing around but anything for a new badge or two 😅
DeleteEnfin de la nouveauté
ReplyDeleteSauf pour Garmin Connect+...
Leur IA pourrait être nettement améliorée
DeleteI don't get the Garmin Trails hike or trail activities. It has to be on a Garmin map? So if you live in any other part of the world (so most of the world!), where there is NO garmin trails, you are screwed?
ReplyDeleteThe trails must be found here: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/trails
DeleteI will also have to wait until my country (Sweden) got some trails added.
This is so frustrating...
DeleteAgreed, I'd have much preferred to see trails in most countries before this was rolled out, or at least a timeline for adding the rest of the world!
