How it Works

Log Mileage During the Program using Final Surge

Your weekly training schedule will be available through the online training log Final Surge. You will be asked to create a Final Surge account when you register for the 2015 High School Summer Training Program. Final Surge is where you will log your weekly mileage when participating in the Summer Challenge so that you will be part of the leaderboards and see how you stack up against other participants. There are four different ways you can log your mileage using Final Surge. Each option is outlined below:

Option #1: Use a Garmin or other GPS watch

Garmin Watches
If you have a Garmin watch, Final Surge allows you to automatically sync your Garmin Connect account with your Final Surge account. This means that any time you upload a workout to Garmin Connect, it will automatically be sent over to Final Surge. If this is the option you choose, view detailed instructions here on how to set up Garmin Connect Sync with your account.

Other GPS Watches
If you have a GPS watch that is not a Garmin, or if you have a Garmin but would prefer not to use the Garmin Connect Sync feature, you can manually upload your workouts to Final Surge. Final Surge accepts both TCX and FIT files that are stored on most GPS watches.

To upload a GPS file manually, click on the workout from your calendar and select "Upload Data".
You will then be able to select a TCX or FIT file directly from your watch, or from a saved location on your computer.
The data from the file will be imported into the workout on your calendar.

Option #2: Use the Final Surge App

The Final Surge app for both iOS and Android allows you to run with your phone and use the phone's GPS to record your workout. Once you have completed your workout, you can then upload the workout directly to your Final Surge training log account.

Get the App

Use your phone's GPS to record your workout with the Final Surge app.
Once your workout is complete, upload it to your Final Surge training log.

Option #3: Manually enter your Workout Distance and Duration

If you do not have a GPS watch or do not want to run with your phone, you can always manually enter your workout data through the online training log or through the Final Surge app.

Manually enter data through the online Training Log

To manually enter workout data, click on the workout from your calendar and select "Update Workout".
You can then enter your distance and duration for the workout as well as many other options that Final Surge offers including how you felt, the shoes you wore, post workout notes and weather.

Manually enter data through the Final Surge App

The Final Surge app allows easy access to your training log. Log into your training log through the app to view your scheduled workouts.
Click on the workout you have completed and tap the "Edit" button. You can then enter the distance and duration that you completed.
