Challenges

How it works

Everything that earns points on Magic Training, explained end to end. The numbers on this page come straight from the rules in force.

XP and levels

XP is the currency of progression. It comes in through three paths and is never recomputed from scratch: every credit is recorded with its source and date.

  • Challenges: when each challenge you took part in ends, for what you did, for reaching the goal and for your placement.
  • League or activity week: every Monday, for what you trained from Monday to Sunday.
  • Badges: when you earn a badge, with fixed XP per tier.

Your level is derived from your accumulated XP. The names follow the training zones: the first levels come fast and the last ones take years of consistency.

Monthly challenges

Every month the platform opens 10 challenges. Join as many as you like; activities synced from your watch or logged by hand count on their own.

Ranking

Your position is computed live from the activities completed within the period, in calendar days in the Brasília time zone. Ties go to whoever joined first. Anyone without activity in the period has no position.

In the single-distance challenges (5 km, 10 km, half and full marathon) what counts is your best continuous stretch of that distance inside the workout, just like the best efforts on your watch: warm-up and cool-down are left out. When an activity has no splits (a manual entry, for instance), the ranking falls back to the average pace of the workout.

XP at the end of the challenge

  • Participation proportional to what you did (for example, 1 XP per km in distance challenges), capped at 400 XP.
  • +150 XP for reaching the goal.
  • Placement: 1st +500, 2nd +350, 3rd +250, 4th to 10th +100.

Coaching-group challenges

A coach can create challenges just for their athletes. There, the placement bonus is halved and the participation cap is 200 XP.

The result is frozen one day after the challenge ends, giving your watch time to sync.

Weekly league

The league is the week's competitive layer: you join a group of up to 30 people in your division and the score is your activity XP from Monday to Sunday.

Divisions

  • Bronze League
  • Silver League
  • Gold League
  • Platinum League
  • Diamond League

There are 5 divisions: Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum → Diamond. Everyone starts in Bronze; nobody moves above Diamond or below Bronze.

Week score

1 XP per km run, 8 XP per completed workout (running or strength) and +5 XP per plan workout. Cap of 300 XP per week. The league score is exactly the activity XP you receive at closing.

Who moves up and who moves down

Among those who scored during the week, the top 25% move up (at least 1, at most 7) and the bottom 15% move down (at most 5, and only in groups with 7 or more people scoring). Anyone who did not train neither moves up nor down.

Closing bonuses

1st +150, 2nd +100, 3rd +75, and +50 for moving up a division.

When it closes

At the turn from Sunday to Monday. Activities synced after that do not count toward the previous week, but do count for the new one.

How you get in

Opening the challenges or league page places you in this week's group. Anyone who trained but has not opened the page yet is placed automatically the next day. If you prefer not to take part, you can leave the leagues at any time; the XP from your activities keeps coming in.

Badges

Badges mark milestones in your running history: total distance, workouts, longest run, consistency, strength, elevation, challenges, leagues, level and completed plans. There are 75 badges across 10 categories.

Tiers and XP

Each category is a ladder of tiers. Earning a badge grants fixed XP by tier: 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 / 150 / 200 XP.

When they are awarded

Badges are evaluated whenever you receive XP and when you open the challenges or the achievements page. An earned badge is never lost.

What other people can see

Taking part in a challenge or a league means appearing in a ranking. Here is exactly what others see.

In the challenges you join

Other enrolled people see your name, photo, level, the metric value (for example, total km) and your position. In coaching-group challenges, only the athletes and the coach of that group.

In your league group

The up to 30 people in your group see your name, photo, level, the week's km and workouts, the week's XP and your position.

What nobody sees

Details of your activities (route, map, heart rate, times), your profile data, your measurements and your training plan. Rankings exist only among logged-in people: nothing is public on the internet.

Your control

You can leave a challenge while it is open and leave the leagues at any time, via the button on the league page. Results of weeks and challenges already closed stay in your history. Deleting your account removes everything.
