Welcome to the Ashendon Step Into Christmas Challenge - here are answers to questions we think you might have. Please add any more to the comments and we will add answers.
Do I have to live in Ashendon? No, but the challenge is intended for Ashendon folk- students, those with close links to the village are welcome to join in.
What does 'virtual' mean? You will be part of a team that never physically meets. You will be travelling a virtual route (we plan to track progress as a virtual tour of UK capital cities and will publish results showing distance travelled in kilometers, starting from Ashendon to London).
Do I need to be part of a team before I join? No, you will be allocated to a team of mixed activity levels. Admin will mix teams by individual current daily steps and aim to get teams that are equally competitive.
Can I do the challenge with my family? Yes, if you have younger children then please keep at least one parent with one child. If you have older children it's up to you if you want to stay together or compete in different teams.
How long does the challenge last? 4 weeks
Who will the team captains be? Admin will ask someone in each team to start as team captain but teams can choose to change their captain if all agree.
How will teams communicate? that will be up to the team. You can set up a WhatsApp group, email, text, telephone or whatever.
How do I count my steps? you can use any means you have but we recommend you use something to help you count such as a pedometer, a tracker (e.g. Fitbit or Apple Watch) or a fitness app (such as Runkeeper or Strava). The important thing is that you keep track of your steps or distance stepped in kilometers so that you can submit these to your team captain at the end of each week.
What if I don't do sport or exercise? You don't have to - every step you do each day will count be it conscious activity or just the steps you do in your normal everyday tasks.
Do I have to provide evidence of my steps or distance? No - the challenge is based on trust.
