WELCOME TO DAY 10.
THE RUNDOWN VOL 2: 2/27/26
WELCOME TO DAY 10.
Ya’ll, you are CRUSHING this challenge. We’re ten days in. For some, you’re starting to understand why we call it…. RELENTLESS. (By the by, as a group we’ve racked up enough miles to circle the earth 2.3 times! Take that earth!!)
RECAP: THE FROSTY FRIDAY FIVE K = FUN.
Cincy folks, thanks for coming out in force for our first-ever Fleet Feet Relentless 5K Kickoff Event! We had about 100 run/walkers racking up 10RMs each. There was a yeti sighting, folks got lost in the dark, and we did our best to empty the Fleet Feet beer fridge. WELL DONE!
“WHERE WE AT BUS DRIVER?”
Ten days in puts us right around the one-quarter mark. We might have laced up in NYC, but if you’re keeping up with that pace setter, your team has already rolled through Richmond, IN. (I’m sure you already knew this, but Richmond was once the “Lawnmower Capital of the World.” Wait, do I get RMs for push mowing?? No.)
SPEAKING OF: CHECK OUT THAT TROPHY CASE
Tap on your Team tab and then Trophy Case to see the badges your team is earning as you roll across the country. “Oh, hey Quarter Way badge, good to see ya.” (flex)
WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO FUN?
Each year Relentless HQ looks forward to seeing what names you guys come up with for your teams. We had our crack staff of robots make some logos. Enjoy.
BIG NEWS
GET READY FOR SWIM WEEK
It’s back. Next week in the app we’re dropping SWIM as a new category to log RMs. You’ll get 1 RM for every 150 meters (or yards) you swim. If you’re a swimmer, trust us, this is a hack. If you’re not, you should definitely find a body of water and try it out! (Another hack.)
SHOUT-OUTS
Bubbas Bunch!
Huge shout out to “Bubba.” A proud grandfather in his 70s leading a team from Ohio and Kentucky. Bubba has personally collected over 200 RMs for his team. Did we mention he’s had quadruple bypass surgery? (Remind me your excuse for not having 200 RMs? ; )
Women On Top
This team hails from Boston. Speaking of hail, don’t know if you read the newspaper this week but Boston got CRUSHED with a blizzard. That makes jogging around the neighborhood a little trickier. The solve? Cross-country ski! Here’s Kirsten logging those RMs in the snow. NICE.
NATIONAL TEAMS
We’ve got teams made up of people from all over America. Here are just a few:
IndyRado: As the name suggests, this team reps the great states of Indiana and Colorado.
Super Dodgers: Most of this team is already living in LA, maybe they should do the challenge backwards! But, they’ve also roped in some folks from Illinois. Hey, we’re almost there!
STAYING ON TRACK IS RELENTLESS
Huge props to the super teams near the top of the progress board, but for the rest of us normal humans—let’s talk about staying on track.
Each team should aim for 70 RMs per day—so after 10 days, about 700 RMs. Most of you are there (amazing!), but if you're a little behind, don’t stress.
Fun fact: The original team was behind the entire time in the early years. And guess what? They still made it. YOU CAN TOO.
WANT TO SEE YOUR TEAM FEATURED IN THE NEXT RUNDOWN?
Team leaders, I’m looking at you.
We at HQ have heard some GREAT stories through the grapevine, BUT, we’d love to capture more and share them out as encouragement to the entire group. If this challenge has been meaningful to you, drop us a note HERE. Thank you.
SWAG AND SOCIALS
Get some hot drip and then post about it, yo.
Keep it up folks!
