You can set target hours or points that you then reach by uploading ​assets ​and logging the hours or points for each asset.

 +===Using Spreadsheets=== 
 +Another method is to have an Excel spreadsheet tracking the amount of hours you’ve spent running. Each day you can update the spreadsheet and then upload it to PebblePad, assigning each new file the amount of hours you’ve exercised that day. Some fitness trackers (such as [[https://​help.fitbit.com/​articles/​en_US/​Help_article/​1133|Fitbit]] ones) allow you to export your data into Excel or a Google spreadsheet.
